00:00For those who don't know him, Andy Kaufman is an American actor and artist

00:04who became known for his offbeat humor and controversies.

00:06Kaufman has always admired this business.

00:09and the way he managed his career and his image with his fans

00:12is very similar to a wrestler.

00:14In the early 1980s, wrestling still kept its secrets.

00:17Many people believe that what happens in the ring is real.

00:19And kefabe plays a big role in the public's perception.

00:22Kefabe is a simple principle that allows the wrestler to stay in character.

00:26even outside the ring.

00:27For example, if there is a rivalry between two wrestlers, even if they get along in real life,

00:31They shouldn't be seen together outside the ring.

00:33They shouldn't be seen in a restaurant or at a social gathering.

00:36Because, precisely, that would break the kebab.

00:38And people would no longer believe in their rivalry.

00:40This is something that has been increasingly lost over time.

00:42inevitably with the advent of the internet and social networks.

00:44But in the early 80s, it was crucial.

00:47The wrestlers had to stay in character in public.

00:50whether they are in the ring or outside of it.

00:51Andy Kaufman, as a comedian, also kept the kefabe going with his audience.

00:55Spending his time deceiving them with his numerous schemes,

00:58and very often remaining in character.

01:00To such an extent that one of them will even come to love doubt.

01:03A certain Tony Clifton, whom many will consider for a long time to be a real person.

01:07While of course, Kaufman was indeed under the costume.

01:09And he will find amusement in this misunderstanding, very often opening for his own shows.

01:13under the skin of this character, without anyone noticing anything.

01:16He will also feature him in the Taxi series, as a guest star.

01:20while he himself was the star of it, without anyone knowing anything.

01:23It is therefore logical that Kaufman became interested in wrestling,

01:26becoming a despicable and misogynistic character

01:29offering women $1000 to try and beat him in the ring,

01:32This will lead to physical and verbal confrontations against wrestler Jerry Lawler.

01:36who would claim not to like Kaufman's lack of respect towards his sport and towards women.

01:40Obviously, all of this is completely fabricated.

01:42and together they will build an entire scenario and a rivalry that will extend beyond the rings.

01:53The actor will remain so often in character that it will cost him dearly throughout his career.

02:06American television no longer wanted to deal with him.

02:08He will go so far with his hoaxes that on the day of his death,

02:11Many thought it was just another staged event and that he would reappear one day or another.

02:15The film, featuring an unrecognizable Jim Carrey, pays a beautiful tribute to Andy Kaufman.

02:19who will remain one of the most brilliant artists of his generation.

02:23Welcome !
