Andy Kaufman in the wrestling match wrote:
#5 Jim Carrey came out against Smith’s actions. Jim Carrey famously portrayed Andy Kaufman in Man on the Moon. Andy Kaufman also was known to participate in many kayfabe bits where he pretended to have physical fights. Carrey is in on it. This goes deep.
Andy Kaufman and Jerry Lawler's high publicized wrestling fights were all staged. They became good friends setting those "fights" up. Lawler played himself in Man on the Moon and he could not stand Jim Carrey. The only way Jim Carrey could pretend to be Kaufman was by being an ass the entire time the movie was filmed (method acting), on and off set. Andy Kaufman could easily switch being being an ass in public, and not in ass with friends.
