Confused Tommy Lee Jones asks co-star Jenna Ortega if they had ‘any scenes together’

Tommy Lee Jones and Jenna Ortega had an awkward moment during the red-carpet premiere of their new movie “Finestkind.”

The Oscar winner, 77, appeared to not remember that the “Wednesday” actress, 21, filmed the thriller with him.

“Did we have any scenes together?” he was caught asking while posing for photographs on Wednesday night.

She politely replied: “Yes, we have one.”

“Have you seen the film?” Jones then wondered.

Ortega shook her head and the pair then burst out laughing.

“Finestkind” will hit Paramount+ on Dec. 15 and follows two estranged brothers who form a deal with a Boston crime boss as they become intertwined with a mysterious young woman and their father.

Ben Foster, Toby Wallace, Ismael Cruz Cordova and Tim Daly also appear in the R-rated drama.

The “Fugitive” actor’s confused exchange at Wednesday night’s bash incited many jokes, including quips regarding Jones’ 1997 comedy action “Men in Black.”

“Agent K had his mind erased :(,” someone joked.

Jones played Kevin Brown/Agent K in the movie, a secret agent who works for an organization that monitors paranormal activity.

His character often uses a device called a neuralyzer, an object that clears the memory of anybody who catches the flash.

“They used the memory eraser on him 🤣,” a user laughed, adding a GIF of “Men in Black” star Will Smith using the neuralyzer.

Another person chimed in: “My GOAT got old 😭.”

“Bro’s mind is hanging on by a thread lol,” a fan wrote. Another noted: “The old man rizz hits different.”

The “Batman Forever” actor most recently appeared in the legal drama “The Burial” with Jamie Foxx, which was released in October.

The movie was one of the 56-year-old’s first projects since he suffered a mysterious illness earlier this year. The “Blame It” singer suffered a “medical complication” in April that left him hospitalized.

He made his first public appearance on Dec. 4 at the Critics Choice Association’s Celebration of Cinema and Television: Honoring Black, Latino and AAPI Achievements where he received the event’s Vanguard Award for his performance in “The Burial.”

Foxx was able to walk to the stage without assistance to accept the honor, saying in his speech: “I couldn’t do that six months ago, I couldn’t actually walk.”

“It feels good to be here. I cherish every single minute now, it’s different,” the “Django Unchained” star continued. “I wouldn’t wish what I went through on my worst enemy because it’s tough when it’s almost over, when you see the tunnel.” 

“I saw the tunnel, I didn’t see the light,” said Foxx.
