Summary
Danny DeVito said he and Rhea Perlman no longer live together but remain "best of friends," with Perlman living nearby and the two still talking constantly about movies, acting and family projects.
The 81-year-old tied that bond to work they still share, saying they have long enjoyed collaborating and recalling how he and Perlman embraced their roles as Matilda’s parents in the 1996 film.
Three 2026 "Matilda in Concert" stops are helping drive that reflection: Cleveland hosted performances on June 3 and 4, with San Francisco set for July 25 and 26 and London for Oct. 30.
DeVito also said he has no plans to retire, citing season 18 of "It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia," "Jumanji: Open World" due at Christmas, and an effort to find another film with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
