Dumb and Dumber was released in 1994 and eventually made $250 million at the worldwide box office (not bad for a film that cost $17 million to make), and both actors were never the same.
Daniels took home a surprise win at the 2013 Emmy Awards for Best Actor in a Drama Series for his HBO show The Newsroom. Backstage after the win, he was asked what he planned to do next.
“We’re going to party until dawn and then I’m going to hop on a plane to Atlanta and start shooting Dumb and Dumber To,” he said.
Carrey also posted a photo alluding to the film on his Twitter page earlier this month.
The actor again tweeted on Tuesday in full Lloyd costume, but this time did what he could to promote his own book, along with the caption, “How Roland Rolls comes out TODAY but it may be a little too sophisticated for Lloyd and Harry! Yep… THEY’RE BAAAAA…”
