“I wanna recreate this.” Danny DeVito's infamous stunt in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia was inspired by the miracle of life
Behind Danny DeVito's infamous stunt was the miracle of life that inspired the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia team.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a TV series that has had many memorable scenes, however, in one that can be counted among the most infamous, Danny DeVito was at the center, agreeing to do a crazy thing.
This took place in season 6 episode 13 titled A Very Sunny Christmas. Played by DeVito, Frank sewed himself into a couch so he could overhear what others were saying about him. However, it's not the act itself, but his exit, which brings to mind that one scene from Ace Ventura When Nature Calls, surely you know exactly which one, is what makes this scene memorable.
Rob McElhenney on The Rich Eisen Show revealed what was the inspiration behind the idea of getting Danny DeVito into such a traumatic situation in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia as emerging from the couch naked in front of a group of people at a party.
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.
