Danny DeVito, 80, has had a long and storied Hollywood career, from his beginnings as Louie De Palma on Taxi, to a big screen career that saw him not just acting beside but directing some of the biggest names of the ’80s and ’90s, to his nearly 20 year run as Frank Reynolds, the bonkers father figure of the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia crew. With a career that long and diverse, you’d expect the star to have some unusual stories — and, in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, DeVito did remember quite an unlikely tale about Michael Jackson and his love of the show where DeVito got his start.
