It
seems Jim Carrey has yet to read How To Win Friends And Influence People.
For
the funnyman caused Ringo Starr to burst into mock outrage after he showed him
a Beatles T-shirt featuring the face of the Dumb And Dumber characters at an
event in New York on Monday.
The
game for a laugh drummer then jumped in front of the Hollywood star to cover up
the offending garment, which had replaced the faces of his bandmates George
Harrison and Paul McCartney with the franchise's Lloyd Christmas and Harry
Dunne.
Of
course it also draws attention to the fact Dumb And Dumber To is getting released
in November this year.
Ringo
would have had every right to be annoyed however, as he pulled the stunt at the
David Lynch Foundation's Lifetime of Peace & Love Award event honouring the
music legend.
The
73-year-old did not seem to mind however, and he and wife Barbara Bach were
happy to pose with the Canadian when he buttoned up his jacket.
A
healthy dose of rock royalty had turned up for the showpiece event, though
unfortunately his fellow surviving Beatle Sir Paul was not in attendance.
But
rock giant Peter Frampton and Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh certainly added a much
needed dose of stardust to the proceedings.
Dumb
And Dumber To's plot is weaved around what happens when Lloyd's best friend
Harry Dunne, played by Jeff Daniels, decides to hit the road to find his
illegitimate daughter so he can get a kidney transplant.
Earlier
this year it looked like the film would not be made after Warner Bros dropped
interest in the project, but Universal Pictures stepped in when comedy
filmmakers The Farrelly Brothers shopped it around other studios.
The
1994 original was one of the films that shot Jim to worldwide fame, and made
more than $247 million from a $17m budget.
