But Harrelson wanted to make things interesting. So, the "No Country For Old Men" actor challenged the filmmaker to play a game of pool, reported DigitalSpy.
"It was shot by one of my best buddies my one-time roommate, in fact ¿ Peter Farrelly, along with his brother Bobby. They'd had no success at that time, but really wanted me to do the movie.
"Pete's a good pool player, so I challenged him to a game and said, 'If I lose this game, I'll do your movie - if I win, I'm not gonna do it'," Harrelson said.
The actor eventually won the game. "Dumb and Dumber" also starred Jim Carrey.
