I cannot imagine a 14 year old Danny Devito.
It feels like he's been 40 his entire life until one day he turned 70.
That boy don't look a day over 12.
ditto on Ford and Stallone, and even Bruce Willis.
I mean, he was in his mid-30s when he actually hit it big, so it makes sense you wouldn't be able to think of him when he was young.
@@RabblesTheBinx thats... thats not... whatever lol
Was thinking the same!!
Danny DeVito is so pure that it seems like he put hand sanitizer all over his body
He just wants to be pure!
@@lecantalouprouge lol person with the top comment replying to another top comment, ive never seen that before
@@oui2611 same lol
Yes
😂😂😂
I imagine Danny DeVito in real life to be one of the most genuine and warm-hearted people to be around. Everything he does acting wise has always been a real treat during my childhood.
He is
Hearing now how seriously he takes his craft (the thing about method acting) makes me appreciate the variety and depth of his roles even more. He's serious, but wants to have fun and interesting roles whole working hard.
He has that "Cheeky, funny feller" vibe.
He is. Watch the podcast, he's as wholesome as you could ever hoped he would be lol.
@@Anteman Right? He's just one of those people who's incredibly funny even when he's not trying to be.
As a kid, I was terrified of Danny because he was so good as The Penguin 🐧. Now that I'm older I love the man and realize what a legendary actor he is 👏. Seems like a great guy too!
Agreed! Although when my dad introduced me to taxi that fear melted fast.
Remember that fish he ate in the batman movie? He actually ate a real raw fish in that scene.
Wow! That is committed to the scene
twins is my most memorable film if him.
I agree he is awesome 😎 unique nobody else like him and nobody could replace him.
There is now literally no excuse for Disney not to have him back as Phil in the live action Hercules - he’s basically issued a come and get me call here 🤣
Well, money would be an excuse lol, depends on how much he'd want for the role.
@@_korbo_ I think Disney can afford it honestly
@@mars2832 Yeah and Danny devito could afford to do it for free but that's not the point.
@@_korbo_ pls, he made that movie.
Disney better pay up🙄
Another live action hercules?
Such a small detail but I love that in the beginning he had the manners to just hold on to the papers he tore off instead of throwing them around until they told him he could throw them away 😂
He’s just such a class act! Love this man. We need to protect him at all costs.
I like how even right after being told that he still held on to the next paper for several seconds before finally letting it go so he can properly gesture
I like how he holds the very next one as well, then the next one after the cut his below the camera haha. Obviously they had to remind him again and they cut it haha.
Omg he’s so cute I love that
Yes, he is so lovely. Later he even held onto one a little longer and then surreptitiously threw it aside when he noticed he still had it
During the making of Matilda, Mara Wilson's mother was dying of cancer, and Danny let her see the final cut before anyone else before she passed away.
A genuinely kind hearted and good soul.
If I remember correctly, he and his wife also let a very young Mara Wilson hang out at their house sometimes while her mom was getting treatment. They took good care of her, it warms my heart
This has made me cry lots, I can’t believe how much of a good person he is, and Rhea Perlman too - they’re so deserving of each other
@@misteryA555 I've heard that before. Even after filming when her mother passed, Danny and Rhea both stepped up and helped her cope with the grief. Both amazing people.
but Mara Willson quit acting because nobody let her see her mother at all. Mara stated it many times when people asked
Him giving people his blessing to buy body pillows 😂☠. He really is a national treasure.
They can use less material for his pillow!
*"Y'know how many actors it takes to screw in a lightbulb? One. He holds onto the lightbulb, and the world revolves around him."*
- Danny DeVito, national treasure.
might take two for him though,sorry sorry first thought when he said that
I laughed so hard at this
Profound
Global treasure!
I’ve always laughed at this joke because i just imagine some narcissist holding a light bulb in place for 4-5 years🤣
Danny, you may not be a grandpa yet, but this entire interview radiated supportive/funny grandpa vibes.
aweeee, same with al pacino
Next movie!
America's grandfather
@@jamier.hayden4636 sounds like a mafia name
Wouldnt trade my grandpa for anyone but whoever gets him as theirs is gonna be living their best life lol
I always think if Danny DeVito is in a movie, then it's really a movie.
If he’s in it’s good!!🎥
What
I also think if Danny DeVito is in a TV show, then it’s really a TV show.
@@allyw7405 Really? I don't know, I never saw any of his tv shows. I just find there's something 'magical' about Danny and so he makes the movie more special. Hard to explain really.
@@allyw7405 yea and if Danny Devito is in between two pieces of bread that’s a sandwich
If he ever does get grandkids Danny is definitely going to be the fun grandpa they always want to visit. He seems like such a genuine and down to earth guy for such a famous actor.
Omg Danny DeVito as a grandpa would be AWESOME
Too many people not having kids now days 😢
@@Imzadi you can take that up with the entitled business owners and corporations refusing to pay a living wage and the disgusting parasites buying up all the residential property and extorting us for exorbitant rent. We can't afford it, and even if we could no moral human would force a child to grow up in this capitalist hellscape.
It's always been expensive to raise kids, so I can see why people are leaving it late or not at all, given economic challenges!
He's even genuine for the penguin
I want to protect Danny DeVito at all cost! This man is a national treasure.
Interesting profile picture 😂
@@jonahs92 i literally just had the words national treasure in my head and you had already commented it omg
I would steal the Declaration of Independence for this man!
international*
@@TubbyLumps me too.
I wanna thank Danny for making Matilda. It was such a great movie to watch as a kid!
Not to mention what a terrific actor he still is to this day!
No one can replace him!
I heard him and his wife took in the girl who played Matilda while her mom was sick too
It was my favourite movie as a kid and now it’s my 7 year old sisters favourite movie. It’s timeless.
Matilda was my childhood's favorite movie. His character was like my dad
His character was so frustrating in Matilda that convinced me Danny could be like that, I was surprised years later to discover he's quite the opposite, very friendly and enjoyable
Oh cool. I started watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, starting with Season 2. I watched three episodes yesterday, one today. Then Google's algorithm shows a video on CZcams about Danny DeVito, the first time ever. Coincidence?! o_O
I can verify that in real life he is the sweetest guy, he acts just like he is in this video. Ran into him with a friend when he was doing a show in NY and he stopped to chat even though he was with his wife. Super kind and down to earth guy, love him to death.
I love how at 1:06 the producer tells him he doesn’t have to hold onto the paper, then at 1:14 he does it again and then mid sentence at 1:23 he remembers he can throw them away and does it very casually
lmaoo I didn’t notice that, he’s so sweet
Yes, casually
It says a lot about someone that they assume to hold onto scraps or trash like that. He's a good dude
"will danny devito be in the live action hercules?"
"I AM THE LIVE ACTION HERCULES 💪"
i died 😂
I swear, this man looks and sounds like an animated character.
Because he voices many cartoon characters and has had many cartoon characters based on him
That's because he is an animated character!
Voiced by Danny Devito
Him and Jim Carrey. I love em.
Nah man, animated characters look and sound like HIM! 🤣 He brought several of them to life!
What the world needs now is more Danny DeVito.
Do you mean a bigger Danny?
He is in short supply
@@rosshall6475 😂😂😂
5:58 Love that Danny indignantly refuses to do the math on how old he was in Romancing The Stone by saying, "So you figure it out. Google me!" as a response to the top Google searches for Danny DeVito
absolutely one of my favorite parts. the “google me!” had me laughing so hard
him constantly pulling the wrong papers was so funny lmao
Danny DeVito is like America’s uncle. I feel like he could hang out with anyone and genuinely have a good time. He just seems like someone who enjoys life.
him and jack black always felt like the uncles i wish i had
Robin Williams was America’s dad and Danny is America’s uncle. A perfect family.
@@augustrushes5702 I agree, but let's not forget Robin Williams killed himself. We're remembering the happiness he brought us when we say that but he was a troubled dude. No family is perfect.
@@Nimbus8888 The way American dads are treated in this day and age makes the idea of America’s Dad Robin Williams committing suicide tragically make sense. Men like Robin Williams spend their whole lives giving joy to others only to watch their own fail them with age.
1:04 it says a lot about this man that he carefully keeps hold of even extremely minor litter. What a gem.
After watching him be Frank Reynolds for like 14 years, I always have to remember he's a world class actor, not the Warthog who's getting real weird with the remaining time.
Danny DeVito is one of those stars who have no idea how legendary he is.
he's one of those actors that every kid in school knew and loved. I've never met a person who hasn't found him funny.
Wasn’t expecting him to give such thoughtful, complete responses to these questions. Better and more genuine than most other celebrities do on this segment!
Yes, it's nice when they seem comfortable and willing to give lengthy answers, rather than witty one-word answers that we know aren't even true.
My thoughts exactly omg i just love him so much
I love how he follows everything up with “and that was so much fun, we had a great time”
Danny is like the fun dad, uncle and grandpa all in one package. I love him.
I would love to see an irl rendition of “Up” with Danny Devito casted as Mr. Fredricksen 😄
I thought the exact same thing!
I was thinking this exact thought as I scrolled upon your comment!
This is genius!
Id want him to play Russell
OMG PERFECTION
05:37 i was on set for this and you could hear my director and i panicking/wheezing with laughter in the back when danny just did not understand how these boards worked. he was so fun to be around.
Lmao if it was really you, then it was wholesome. Blessed comment lol
The was he reacted was golden, so DeVito.
Suuuure. And I met Obama and we signed a bill to allow aliens to probe our asses
What happened to his mic at 6:41 ?? How come no one sorted his mic and asked to re-do those questions?
^^ ??
How can you not love Danny Devito. The man is a National Treasure
Humble, intelligent, excellent manners, amazing laugh. The man is a complete gem and deserves all the recognition and more. Truly one of the greats. Also, when Danny was young 👀
The fact that he took the time to give that anecdote about the Penguin makeup in an interview like this tells you a quite a bit about the previous question on what he's like in real life. He seems like a man that takes joy in sharing joy.
Yeah that's the vibe he radiates. Like Santa.
@@Siresly Bro, I could see him being Santa in a movie, 100%
@Logan Spena do know what's going on with,triplets? I heard filming started in the fall, but, nothing
Seriously, how can anyone not like this guy? He is so incredibly adorable and sweet.
I thought Danny is a singer and a Broadway dancer!!!!! Who’s Arnold??!!
National Treasure. Very very veryyyyyyy few people can be called that
Who doesn't like him?
@@Elduderino9097 Global treasure. No one owns him.
@@shivavision8223 those are the people we need to be worried about…
1:23 when he remembered he’s supposed to throw the paper away 🤣
Love how danny got really technical for the method actor question. He knows his stuff
He needs to be on Hot Ones!!!
Leave the dude alone.
The man was born in the 40s.
@@GuitarSlayer136 bruh, calm down
the mans is 77 years old lol. i think it may kill him. I doubt he'd even be allowed legally at that age
Yeah let's not give one of our few national treasures left a heart attack, please 🥺
The peppers sauce will feel Danny's spiciness!
What an absolute legend. The overwhelming amount of love for Danny in the comments makes me so happy. I'm glad he's as loved as he deserves to be.
I like that his natural instinct is to not just throw trash on the ground. Says a lot about his character.
You can see how Danny informs Frank Reynolds in Always Sunny, specifically in how he tells stories. Just absolutely fascinating.
We are fortunate to have Danny DeVito answering some questions, dude's a living legend 😎
I love how respected this man is, he deserves it
He's a legend
He is one of those very few celebrities whom EVERYBODY loves.
This man is so wholesome, we don't deserve this gentleman.
Danny holding the papers at first because he didn’t want to make a mess is the most subtly wholesome
Danny DeVito, a walking testament that heart and cutting edge creativity will always prevail over looks and physical stature.
What are you talking about? He is the sexiest man alive.
Ikr, is incredible how successful you can be being this ugly when you're creative enough
Idk why, but “This is an 81 Honda…. How dare you!?”… seems appropriate
bit of a backhanded compliment lol
@@joehatt2430 not at all, he’s awesome! I’m just saying in the beginning of his career many wouldn’t think he would be as big as he his today due to not being a grad Pitt kinda guy.
How can you not love this man. Thank you Danny, for all the joy that you brought to this world. 👍
Yeah, it's really gonna be a bummer when he dies.
I'm not even religious but genuinely god bless this man. He's insanely famous yet fame never changed him one bit. He's so humble and such a good soul. He deserves the world and I wish so much positivity to him
The idea of Danny Devito in Harry Potter is absolutely hilarious to me
He would've been a great Harry Potter.
"Yer a wizard, Harry."
"You gotta be kiddin' me, man!"
I have a feeling Professor Mantis Tobaggan would get fired for calling some kid a mudblood
God if they all were in Harry Potter theyd all get obsessed with pure blood except for Charlie and maybe frank
“Voldemort tried to kill me, but it was a lucky thing I had my pieces”
Danny and Rhea are such class acts. I went to elementary school with their kiddos and have such fond memories of them both. So generous with their time. On my list of “If you could invite anyone to dinner”.
did you really??? that's incredible
I always remember how nicely they treated Mara Wilson and her family during Matilda. Mara’s mom was dying of cancer and Danny made sure to get rough cut of the movie for her to see before she passed. And he and Rhea would have Mara and her family over for movie nights and pool parties and really took care of them. I have such respect for that always. How kind of them 💖
They aren't even together
This is the only man in the world I’ve never met but would happily die for
Danny Devito is a legend for so many reasons but Frank Reynolds will go down as one of the greatest TV roles of all time
Absolutely love Danny DeVito, such a fantastic actor! So likeable as well!
Danny DeVito was THE BEST penguin. Absolutely knocked it out of the park with that performance, he was amazing
The most memorable character besides Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman)
Agreed 💯
Robin Lord Taylor though
One of the most enjoyable episodes. Really enjoyed listening to him.
I could listen him for days talking and never get tired he's one of the kind!
I met Danny Devito on real life and he is incredible.
that's badass
Mr. Devito is just the cutest man I've ever seen in my life. Even in Matilda, which was one of my favorite movies as a kid, he just made me giggle so much. Like, he was obviously playing a really bad dad, but I always giggled at how ridiculous he was. You can tell he's a good dude, even when he's playing a bad dude. There's just something about his face and eyes.
Man me too. We would quote him around the house. “I’m right, you’re wrong, I’m big, you’re little AND THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT” Such an honestly terrifying way of putting what it’s like to be a kid, but he made it something kids could laugh at
He directed Matilda as well!
7:23 “You know how many actor’s it takes to screw in a light bulb? One. He holds onto the light bulb, and the world revolves around him.“
Danny is such a classy person. My rude sister saw him in Ny when she was a teen and her and friends were making fun of his height in front of him and instead of getting upset he bought them lunch. This man changed her thoughts instantly and she is now ashamed at the way she acted towards him when he was such a quality person. I hate and love this story
Danny Devito is a gem in this world. Hilarious, sweet, progressive, kind, fights for rights, great actor
Fights for rights on what twitter?
No, not on Twitter. Danny is an actual social democrat, not an sjw
Because he smart, big and he right there nothing that anyone can do about it.
Progressive??????
@@omensoffate he’s a union and Bernie supporter
He's just one of those people who's nailed life. Could watch him all day. (not in a weird way or anything ... urgh)
I'd watch him in a weird way
I want him in all ways
You have his body pillow, don’t you?
@@michaelchallis4129 busted :(
@@michaelchallis4129 I have a blanket of his fsce but I want the body pillow
What I liked about Danny doing it's Always Sunny was even though I didn't watch it when it came out you could tell the cast was talented they just needed a big name to attract more viewers or they would have likely been cancelled. He saved and made the show so much better.
You can just tell Danny devito is a genuinely kind and down to earth person. I would love to meet him!
The man is a legend love Danny he is great
I love this man. It’s so sad that he’s getting older now, everyone must protect him at all costs 😭
None of us is getting any younger
Danny DeVito's gonna live forever.
only 77, he easily has 20 years.
@@lookforthegood1 that would take him to 97. Possibly! He probably has at least another 10 years
He looks very healthy for his age
I love how he, being a star, keeps it simple and fun and so friendly. Thank you for doing it, Mr DeVito!
This is incredible. What a great guy.
I interviewed him on set of Always Sunny when they were filming in Philly. Out of all my interviews as an entertainment reporter, DeVito remains my favorite.
Do you have links ? That’s so rad
@@JaiCatLady I believe I posted the raw interview here on CZcams somewhere - not sure I’m allowed to just leave a link…???
@@YETTheShow gotcha! I'll def look for it! So cool
@@YETTheShow CZcams links should be ok.

How is no one talking about Danny alluding to working with Arnold again? Looking forward to that!
Well a Twins sequel has been planned for a decade now. They just can't get it off the ground. Maybe they can't find a good script.
Omg hi Laura! Big fan
He calls Michael Douglas "Mikey". Aww, so cute! 😊
I first saw Mr. Devito in the movie "Twins," with Arnold and it became a staple of my childhood. He is a fantastic actor.
Danny DeVito, the legend, overpowered the mic with his mere presence at 6:38 onward.
HAHHAH😂😂
Danny Devito brings me so much joy. He’s a truly amazing individual. Not enough elderly like him.
There is something so attractive about a man that just is himself and doesn’t care if you like him or not. I love him! Great actor. So naturally comedic and talented.
Never would've expected this kind of interview with Mantis Toboggan, MD.
On a serious note, Danny Devito has always seemed like the guy who could make anything funny and is just naturally a joy to be around
I was having a bad day but this brought me a lot of joy!!! Danny Devito is just precious! He always makes me laugh! ❤
same,girl
Same! I hope you guys have had better days since. If not, your time will come! Life's a rollercoaster, after all.
This dude is live legend of my childhood, great actor. Wish him long live, amazing person.
I love Danny glad he’s still in good health & still in the spotlight
Matilda one of the greatest. And thank you to Wired for this incredibly funny look at the man whose made so many laugh. So many incredible memories of growing up with Danny as constant part of so many lives a truly wonderful man. Thank You Danny DeVito for so many laughs pas,t present and those to come. Cheers
The Matilda Musical is far superior in every way, follows the book much more accurately and is much more enjoyable to watch
That blew my mind
@@jackwhitbread4583 both are super fun adaptations!
My high school history teacher kept a life-size cardboard cutout of danny devito in his room and dressed it up for every season lmao
What an amazing man, Danny always comes across as humble & genuine, yet has great acting range and is naturally funny. Long live Danny DeVito!
Danny devito is honestly one of my favorite actors out there, in almost everything he’s in he makes me laugh. When he’s not acting I also get the impression that he’s a nice and wholesome guy
Danny DeVito is a GIANT of acting, a true professional. I love him
This man could tell me each year he had a hemorrhoid and I'd listen to every word.
You have to love Danny!
This is awesome. Danny is just such a genuine guy.
Danny is such a joy to listen to regardless of what he's talking about.
A living legend, wish him many years more of creativity, inspiration and fun.
Everytime I see Danny Devito in interviews, I always think he seems like such a nice guy who would be really cool to just hang out with. For someone who's been in the business as long as him, it's refreshing to see. A lot of actors who have been around as long as him and have similar amount of success, just lose all sense of reality and he still just seems like a cool older guy who could have a conversation with anyone.
Danny just makes me happy. I love his energy.
You got to love danny deVito, loved watching his movies growing up, thanks for the great memories Danny.
If I could meet one celebrity it would be Danny DeVito. He seems like such a genuinely nice person and he is so creative and an amazing actor. Matilda has always been one of my favorite movies
Honestly, Danny has Always been my absolute favorite actor and I will cherish this man for as long as I live.
He is honestly so humble and down to earth, yet somehow has managed to be a part of EVERYONE's childhood as villain or hero or goofy side kick.
It's a shame we never got to see a live action Hercules with him as Phil - that would have been something.
I caught the "Always" in there, not sure if done on purpose, but if so, kudos

Everyone who meets this guy talks me how much of a treasure he is. He's one of those guys who I'll always love
Danny was amazing as Penguin in Batman Returns. Such a great character. I love Danny as an actor and as a person. ❤️
He’s been making me laugh for over 30 years. Thank you, Danny!
"I dont know how many years I got left, so I'm going to get real wierd with them. Now block the wind while I roast this bone" 🙃 such a wholesome guy
He truly is a national treasure. How could you not adore this man?
in middle school, he had a shrine in my school bathroom. 8 years later, I still think about it
cringe...
