Confused Tommy Lee Jones, 77, asks co-star Jenna Ortega, 21, if 'they had any scenes together' in new film Finestkind in awkward interaction
Tommy Lee Jones appeared confused as he asked co-star Jenna Ortega if they 'had any scenes together' in new film Finestkind at the movie's LA premiere on Tuesday.
The iconic actor, 77, who plays Eldridge alongside 21-year-old Ortega's Mabel in the crime thriller, forgot the pair had filmed together, leading to an awkward interaction on the red carpet as they posed.
The Men In Black star said: 'Did we have any scenes together?' with Ortega responding: 'Yes, we have one' and explaining what the scene was.
Jones then asked: 'Have you seen the film?' with Ortega shaking her head before the pair burst out laughing.
Fans quickly flocked to social media to joke about the moment, with one quipping: 'Agent K had his mind erased' in honor of his iconic MIB character.

Another wrote: 'They used the memory eraser on him.'
A third typed: 'I mean sounds like it was one scene and she had to explain it...so maybe they didn't really interact? He gets a pass.'
The crime thriller's storyline centers on a pair of brothers from different backgrounds who are brought together and have to work out a deal with an organized crime syndicate, with a young woman caught in the center of the issues.
It had its world premiere during the Toronto International Film Festival in September but, due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, the cast were unable to attend.
It initially slated to star Zendaya, Jake Gyllenhaal and Ansel Elgort in 2018, but production delays led to casting changes.
A first look was released in August — over a year after Jones was photographed shooting a scene for the film in May 2022.
Finestkind will be available to stream on Paramount+ starting December 15.
Jones is one of Hollywood's most iconic actors, winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as U.S. Marshal Samuel Gerard in the thriller film The Fugitive in 1993.
Over the past year, Ortega has become Hollywood's go-to starlet.

And last month, she got right back to work on set of Beetlejuice 2 after the SAG-AFTRA strike came to an end on November 9.
The film — which is a sequel to the 1988 film starring Michael Keaton as the titular character — was on the verge of being completed until the SAG-AFTRA strike halted production back in July.
The hotly-anticipated sequel also sees the return of Winona Ryder, who played Lydia Deetz, Keaton and director Tim Burton.
