Danny DeVito just hit the big 8-0, and his It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia co-stars weren’t about to let the moment pass without raising a glass — and probably a few eyebrows — in his honor.
🥂 A Tribute from the Gang
Rob McElhenney, who plays Mac and co-created the cult-hit comedy, led the charge with a heartfelt (and hilarious) tribute on social media:
“This man was born 80 years ago today. He could still drink you under the table. He could still make you laugh harder than anyone you’ve ever met. He could still make you feel like you’re the only person in the room.”
He continued:
“He could still give you the best advice you’ve ever gotten and make you feel loved no matter what. He’s an American treasure. There is only one @DannyDeVito.”
🍸 From Troll Foot to Treasure
DeVito joined Sunny in 2006, stepping into the role of Frank Reynolds and helping launch the show from cable cult status into a full-blown comedy juggernaut. His outrageous antics, complete lack of shame, and bizarre-yet-endearing charm made him instantly unforgettable.
But off-screen, DeVito is just as legendary. Known for his warmth, wit, and one-of-a-kind presence, he’s the kind of guy who somehow makes everyone feel like the most important person in the room.
🎬 More Than Just Frank
Danny’s impact stretches far beyond Paddy’s Pub. From Taxi and Matilda to Batman Returns, he’s built a career on stealing scenes and hearts alike. But maybe the most impressive thing? At 80, he’s still going strong — still acting, still directing, still being Danny DeVito.
💛 One of One
As McElhenney put it, “There is only one Danny DeVito.” And honestly, thank God for that — the world couldn’t handle two.
Happy Birthday, Danny. Thanks for all the laughs, the love, and the lunacy. Here’s to 80 more.
