Celebrating Danny DeVito; A Cinematic Legend Turns 80
Danny DeVito, the celebrated actor known for his roles in “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and “Matilda,” recently marked his 80th birthday on 17 November 2024. The occasion prompted heartfelt tributes from his co-stars, particularly Rob McElhenney and Kaitlin Olson, who shared their admiration for the Hollywood icon on social media.
In his tribute, McElhenney described DeVito as an “American treasure,” highlighting his enduring ability to connect with others: “He could still drink you under the table, make you laugh harder than anyone you’ve ever met, and make you feel loved no matter what.” Olson echoed this sentiment, celebrating DeVito’s vivacious spirit and warm-hearted nature, calling him her “favourite (rum) ham” and expressing hope for “80 more” years of his presence.
DeVito’s remarkable career spans over four decades, with significant roles in both film and television, including his iconic character Frank Reynolds in “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.” The show, which is nearing its 20th season, has contributed to his recent cultural renaissance.
Despite an amicable separation from his long-time partner Rhea Perlman in 2017, DeVito remains an influential figure in the industry. Together, they have three children, all of whom are involved in the arts. Their daughter Lucy recently performed alongside her father in a Broadway show, continuing the family’s legacy in the entertainment world.
As DeVito enters this new chapter of life, his contributions to film and television continue to be celebrated by fans and colleagues alike.
