00:03Jim Carrey is known for putting everything into the physicality of his performances,
00:07but do you know which movie role wiped him out?
00:10Liar Liar sees Carrey as Fletcher Reed, the lawyer who cannot lie after his son makes a wish before
00:16blowing out his birthday candles. The role of Reed is iconic for Carrey, but was also one of his

00:36He actually, you can hear it, his head hit the concrete stage floor. They left the sound on
00:41the soundtrack. We all jumped up and were worried for him, but he was fine. He went right into another
00:47take. Carrey also admitted to the Los Angeles Times that the shoe would leave him exhausted,
