Arnold Schwarzenegger has been a legendary actor in the action genre. He is also a seven-time Mr. Olympia winner. Comedian Danny DeVito recently sat down on Thursday with guest-host Nikki Glaser on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and talked about Schwarzenegger. DeVito was there to promote his new animated series, Little Demon, but he ended up telling a story from the 1988 film Twins.
Danny DeVito talks about getting stoned with Arnold Schwarzenegger
The movie starred DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger as long lost fraternal twins. While on a lunch break from set, DeVito invited Schwarzenegger to his trailer for a cigar. Little did the bodybuilder know, DeVito did something special to his cigar.
“We come to my trailer,” DeVito recalled. “We smoke a stogie. I take the stogie that I’m going to give him and I stick a little weed in it. He smokes the stogie, smokes the weed. All of a sudden we’re walking back to the set and he’s holding on to me.”
Apparently, the cannabis was a little too strong for the strongman. In fact, he was too stoned to even deliver his lines.
“He’s great fun to work with, but stoned?” DeVito mused. “He is like, whoo… Off the charts, baby!”
Last September, it was announced that a sequel to Twins was in the works. Triplets was set to star the original two actors with the addition of Tracy Morgan; however, production was indefinitely suspended after director Ivan Reitman died in February.
Meanwhile, the champion bodybuilder found a new way to interact with his fans through his monthly newsletter.Arnold started his monthly newsletter in 2021. After releasing its first edition, Arnold was keen to update his fans with more such incidents from his life. He urged his fans to send his questions, which he would answer through his newsletter. In the second edition of the newsletter titled, ‘Well Here We Are Again’, he recalled an incident for which he was forever grateful.
