Bob Hoskins has revealed that Jim Carrey had him in tears when they starred together in Robert Zemeckis's upcoming performance capture adaptation of A Christmas Carol.
The actor told Metro that Carrey expressed an impressive array of emotions during filming.
Hoskins said of Carrey: "He is fantastic, Jim's got a kind of unearthly magic and Scrooge is the type of character you need magic for.
"Some of the things he does with his face and the emotions he expresses are incredible to watch, he had me in tears a couple of times."
Of the appeal of the movie, he added: "A Christmas Carol was the first book I read when I was 7 and I was absolutely terrified.
"I couldn't believe that so much could happen in one night. I loved it. It is a story that is great to return to - like an old myth. It's a great story of redemption.
"It shows you that if you are mean and horrible and haven't got the time to be a part of the world, you are going to lose out. That is still very relevant."
