The "Governator" is a notorious practical joker, fond of giving out exploding cigars or offering chocolate-covered strawberries stuffed with garlic cloves.

Mel Gibson is also someone who has a passion for a practical joke: He gave Julia Roberts a dead rat and once stuck a live cockroach on her during a scene.

-- Jim Carrey once worked as Laurence Fishburne's waiter -- dressed in a gorilla suit.

-- Freddie Prinze, Jr. stuffed Julia Stiles' shoes with toothpaste.

-- Finally, some celebrity pranksters aren't so funny. Nicolas Cage once took over an airplane's P.A., claimed to be the captain and started faking a seizure. The authorities were not amused.
