“But nothing romantic?” Stern asked, to which Cox deflected in response with a laugh, “I don’t … I’m going to go to the bathroom.”
“The reason I ask that is there are these two talented people,” offered the host. “I can’t see how that wouldn’t happen. If I was around you, I would have at least tried.”
Ina 1994 interview surrounding the film, Cox previously said that Carrey’s humor begins as “he rolls out of bed” and is “in him 24 hours a day.”
“He has another side to him, believe me, that’s very serious and actually really intense. But [the comedy] is there all the time,” she added.
