Infamous Toronto mayor Rob Ford has hit out at Kevin Spacey, saying he wouldn't know the 'House of Cards' star if he ran over him.

Ford's displeasure with the actor started after they made appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live and Spacey made fun of Ford, who had previously admitted to smoking crack and hiring prostitutes, and called him "banged up", News.com.au reported.

When the host of the show said he was grateful to Spacey for sharing a dressing room with the mayor, Spacey said that Ford "threw up all over it, but those are the chances you take".

Ford's brother, Doug, then slammed the Hollywood star on YouTube, saying the latter was an "arrogant SOB who needs to get off his high horse and be real".
