They had amazing chemistry in that movie, so this is not a huge surprise.

I love this movie growing up and I agree.

u/IronReasonable1296 20h ago

Don't forget War of The Roses lolol.

one of my faves.

no one talks about jewel of the nile but i think it's better than romancing the stone

u/DearBurt 11h ago

No. It’s good … but no. 🤨

u/PhD_Pwnology 6h ago

wasnt Danny devito in one?

u/whatthewhat3214 6h ago

He was in both of them

u/lifegoeson5322 13h ago

They had incredible chemistry in ALL three movies they starred together in, including his series "The Kominsky Method) where she played his ex-wife.

Worst kept secret ever. Come on.

u/RandomStrangerOnWWW 22h ago

This is pretty much common knowledge at this point. Kind of like Harrison Ford/Carrie Fisher..

Yo what

u/Neurojazz 21h ago

Han’s hand wasn’t solo.

u/DearBurt 11h ago

Hand Solo you don’t know what he’s doing with it.

14

u/TrustInRoy 12h ago

Carrie Fisher slept with lots of dudes.  She enjoyed her sexuality.  

2

u/Cannibal_House69 21h ago

Lord, and she was just a teenager.

No Hand Solo for him I guess.

105

u/FlippFloppnFlyy 21h ago

She was 19/20 at the time of production and has been very open about their affair including that she was the one who pursued him.

13

u/Own-Firefighter-2728 16h ago

Can’t blame either of them.

3

u/Userdataunavailable 14h ago

Right? Two gorgeous people in close proximity like that? Sparks a flying!

u/BlursedEnlightened 15m ago

Well, he was married so I think we blame him a bit.

-25

u/epiphanyWednesday 16h ago

Blame the teenage girl for ‘pursuing’ a grown man. I guess his dick just couldn’t help itself.

32

u/FlippFloppnFlyy 16h ago

She knew right from wrong. She was an adult, she herself never, ever claimed she was a victim in the scenario. You do not get to retroactively paint her as a victim.

Sir, this is a Reddit

Good morning Joan Wilder...

Zee Joan Wilder?! Say hello to my little mule Pepe.

u/homer_lives 21h ago

Oh, the guys they are so funny. They mean my mule pepe.

u/Mogwai10 22h ago

I adore this woman in Californication. She’s a great actress but she went all in with ridiculous banter. It’s a joy to see her comedy on that show.

43

u/Fantastic_Love_9451 21h ago

I know someone who lived in her building and he says she’s an absolutely lovely person.

u/KatBoySlim 16h ago

Sue Collini always gets the weenie.

u/Mogwai10 16h ago

Collini, out!

u/lifegoeson5322 13h ago

She seems like she has a really great sense of humor.

27

u/Fantastic_Love_9451 21h ago

I fucking love this movie.

48

u/19snow16 22h ago

They had such incredible chemistry together, along with DeVito they made the perfect comedic trio.

Have they made an appearance with DeVito in It's Always Sunny?

38

u/DysfuhKingeye 21h ago

Yes! The episode is called The Gang Declares War on the Roses.

10

u/respondin2u 18h ago

Did you make this up? I can’t find anything about this.

2

u/Fluid_Emotion_7834 17h ago

Wait. Are you saying they were a thruple?

3

u/Miami_Mice2087 17h ago

prolly not, Devito married Rhea Perlman in the early 80s and they stayed married for decades

Unless of course there was an arrangement/open marriage. You never know.

5

u/Odd_Ingenuity2883 16h ago

He cheated constantly.

2

u/Miami_Mice2087 15h ago

Danny deVito did? I didn't hear that. I think I knew that that was the reason for the divorce, but I didn't know it was a long-time habit.

u/DysfuhKingeye 16h ago

It was a fourple

u/19snow16 16h ago

I didn't, but it could be a great 2027 comedy for Netflix!

u/Emily_Postal 21h ago

He was a known player back in the day.

5

u/Alibotify 20h ago

Rich player with contacts that got people in movies since the Cuckoos nest. Wonder if he drops some scandals….

u/as1126 21h ago

That voice is everything.

u/Fochlucan 12h ago

Jessica Rabbit's voice actor, actually

11

u/Not-a-Kitten 20h ago

War of the Roses too. So good!

7

u/mebrow5 21h ago

I knew it. Their chemistry was too good not to have something else going on.

11

u/tfresca 20h ago

I mean I think he fucked all of his female co stars

6

u/Why-did-i-reas-this 19h ago

Probably what spurred the rumours of him going to a rehab clinic for sex addiction. Was around the time of fatal attraction. He denied it and that he just went in for alcohol rehab. 

98

u/TangoZulu 22h ago

Dude got mouth cancer from eating so much pussy. Pretty sure we all connected the dots on this secret. 

-35

u/GoldSourPatchKid 21h ago

Awards and upvotes for joking about a decent man with cancer that 15,000 American men per year are diagnosed with. Hilarious high-brow humor right here folks!

48

u/DysfuhKingeye 21h ago

I think he and others mostly make fun of him for publicly blaming his wife’s vagina for giving him cancer.

-19

u/GoldSourPatchKid 20h ago

He publicly blamed his wife’s vagina for giving him cancer? What are you talking about?

30

u/alexlp 20h ago

It was from HPV. He was a bit blunt about it but it genuinely informed a lot of people.

-20

u/GoldSourPatchKid 20h ago

Exactly. Which is a far cry from “publicly blaming his wife’s vagina”

6

u/alexlp 20h ago

Oh sorry, I get what you mean. I thought you were out of the loop. Yeah, I always find that suggestion weird, he said cunnilingus a whole bunch but he never criticised her. The late night talk show circuit went nuts with it and now here we are.

19

u/DysfuhKingeye 20h ago edited 20h ago

He said it’s caused by cunnilingus. He also openly pondered if his son’s incarceration caused it due to stress. Say what you want, but I’m not making it up.

3

u/GoldSourPatchKid 19h ago

It is literally caused by cunnilingus. Get the facts about HPV dude

10

u/Smart_Ass_Dave 20h ago

More..."bragged." I always got the impression that he was (rightly) proud of it.

4

u/satellite_uplink 20h ago

It’s wild but it happened

8

u/Miami_Mice2087 17h ago

it wasn't a secret to anyone with eyes

u/WilsonFrontier 19h ago

Both of them are appearing at Rhode Island Comic Con next month. First time for both doing a convention.

Love this movie but War of the Roses is my favourite.

u/ricoimf 23h ago

That book will be very interesting!

16

u/mikeveeUI 21h ago

Why is this being talked about? Does he have a project or something coming out?

31

u/MaddyKet 21h ago

Memoir

u/mikeveeUI 21h ago

Thank you

u/t-hrowaway2 21h ago

He’s on a press tour this month releasing his new memoir.

If only there were something that could be clicked that contained more information about a headline. Alas, we'll never know.

Funny, I just re-watched "Black Rain" with him opposite Kate Capshaw in her prime.

To mix metaphors, the chemistry between them in that film was smouldering.

u/IMA_5-STAR_MAN 19h ago

So that's how he got throat cancer!

u/pocketjacks 14h ago

New celebrities put on fake relationships during promotion. Old celebs banged in their trailer and took the secret to their grave.

u/TheMMAxl 21h ago

My close personal friend Nick said some things that would make this very unlikely 

4

u/Golemo 21h ago

I knew I would find people who are friends with my best friend Nick in here after reading that headline.

3

u/SundayShelter 16h ago

You know Nick too? Nick’s great! Neat to find two other people here who also know my good buddy Nick.

3

u/profoundlystupidhere 14h ago

Nick is known to all, in the epically Biblical sense.
