According to a commenter, one reason for the change might have been due to Carrey, who loathed the green fur and body paint so much that he took his frustration out on the makeup department — forcing three-time Oscar nominee Kazuhiro Tsuji to quit the film.

Tsuji late rejoined the production on the condition that Carrey behaves himself and the production promised to help him get his green card.
