While Jim Carrey was promoting the Andy Kaufman film Man on the Moon, he really devoted himself to the character. In fact, some might say that he took it a little too far. He ended up getting into a fight with Jerry Lawler, Andy’s former nemesis.

The two got into a physical match and Jim spit at Jerry’s manager. This did not end well for Jim and he ended up hurt and carried off on a stretcher. Now if it was a true “feud” or if it was simply a prank a la Kaufman, no one knows.
