I worked on a few movies with him.

Here’s the exact exchange I overheard between him and a PA on the set of Finestkind:

PA: “Can I get you anything, Mr. Jones?”

Tommy Lee Jones: “I’ll have some hot tea please.”

PA: “We have Oolong tea, Earl Grey, Green Tea, or would you like something else?”

Tommy Lee Jones: “I’d like a hot cup of too many fucking questions!”

So yeah. This is EXACTLY what he’s like. He does NOT put up with bullshit.

That was not very nice of him.

He’s truly not very nice! In fact, he’s (IMO) the polar opposite of someone classy like the late Christopher Plummer (RIP) whom I got to work with on a feature years back.

Edit: or Anthony Hopkins who introduced himself to my friend as “Tony”.

My ex gf did makeup for Danny Trejo for a super small film many years ago. One day she told me to swing by the set at a specific time to have lunch with him, if I wanted. I did! He was super cool. 10/10 would chow down with him again.
