Part 5/10:
One notable story Chappelle recounts involves Jim Carrey portraying Andy Kaufman in a movie, with Carrey fully immersing himself in the role over a long period. Chappelle describes how he watched Carrey’s transformation, which was so convincing that the crew called him “Andy” on set. Reflecting on this experience, Chappelle makes an allegory about trans people, comparing their experiences to Carrey’s intense method acting. He admits that watching Carrey’s dedication was inspiring yet complex, revealing how deeply such identities can impact performers and creators alike.
