Danny DeVito is 80 and his co-stars are celebrating his legacy. From heartfelt messages to incredible performances, discover the magic behind this Hollywood icon!

Danny DeVito has officially turned 80, and what better way to celebrate this Hollywood titan than to dive deep into his remarkable career and the amazing people who have surrounded him? Known for his unforgettable roles in movies and TV shows, DeVito has not only captured our hearts on screen but also off-screen with his rich family life, including his famous ex-wife and his beloved children. The curiosity about his personal life often runs parallel to his on-screen antics, just like an unexpected twist in an episode of ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ where hilarity meets heartfelt moments.

Among the flurry of birthday tributes, Rob McElhenney, co-star of their sitcom ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’, led the charge with a touching message that emphasized how DeVito has been a source of comfort and wisdom. McElhenney said, “He could still give you the best advice you’ve ever gotten and make you feel loved no matter what.” The affection and respect that his co-stars have for him reveal not just a work relationship but a genuine bond that resembles the craziness you’d expect from the show’s characters.

In a hilarious twist befitting of DeVito’s offbeat charm, he once joked through his character Frank Reynolds that the best way to handle his demise would be to just toss him in the trash. And yet, as the tributes poured in, including praises from Kaitlin Olson who optimistically raised a glass for “80 more,” it’s evident that this beloved actor is far from being in the proverbial trash heap of Hollywood. Instead, he remains one of the leading figures celebrated for simply being authentically DeVito.

While DeVito's 80 years are filled with accolades and hit performances, those who know him best recognize that his magic transcends the screen. Fun fact: DeVito's distinctive voice and physicality have made him an icon, not just in live-action roles but also in animated features, such as his beloved character in ‘Hercules’. Plus, did you know he turned a passionate interest in directing into great success, leading projects that bring laughter to audiences everywhere? So here's to Danny DeVito: a true American treasure, who proves that age is just a number and laughter is truly the best medicine!
