The fun version is when he got buck-ass naked and decided he would just grease himself up like a pig and come through a couch. When we asked him to do it, he said, “Yeah!” I said, “Danny, I wanna show you a video,” and it was a video of a giraffe being born, and I said, “I wanna recreate this.” And before I even hit play, he said, “No, I’ll do that.”
Danny DeVito wasn't afraid to take on a daring stunt on set, which was immortalized in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It became one of the unforgettable scenes from the comedy series, which is recalled in interviews not only by DeVito himself, but also by other actors, such as McElhenney, who called it one of his favorite memories with the actor.
