My Breakfast with Blassie (1983)

Embarking on an absurdly amusing parody of "My Dinner With Andre," 'My Breakfast with Blassie' showcases the unique personality of Andy Kaufman, playing none other than himself. As dawn breaks, Kaufman finds himself sharing a breakfast table with the former wrestling titan, Fred Blassie. Their conversation meanders from wrestling — with a particular focus on Kaufman's peculiar knack for grappling with women — to a variety of eccentric topics. These include unusual hand hygiene techniques, the reasons to avoid pancakes and waffles, and the art of dispensing autographs to eager fans. The dialogue, far from the intellectual depths of 'My Dinner With Andre,' offers a raw, unfiltered exploration of Kaufman's character. Captured in his self-deprecating glory, Kaufman oscillates between timidity and an inflated ego, often drawing upon his role as Latka in 'Taxi' to impress those around him. As the film unravels, it delves into the paradox of fame, exposing the inherent egotism that stardom cultivates as well as the yearning for a private life. 'My Breakfast with Blassie' paints a vivid portrait of the double-edged sword that celebrity status so often becomes.

My Breakfast with Blassie is a comedy movie featuring Andy Kaufman and directed by Johnny Legend.
