The latest season of Variety’s Actors On Actors is officially underway, with some more A-list names pairing up for a candid chat about their careers and recent projects for our viewing entertainment.
For reference, Danny and Arnie have been close friends for decades, with the two famously playing twin brothers in the 1988 comedy Twins, and when Danny arrived at the studio to film his and Colin’s Actors On Actors episode, he couldn’t resist checking in on his old buddy — and luckily for us, it was all caught on camera.
In behind-the-scenes footage that was posted to Variety’s social media platforms on Wednesday, it appears that Arnold and Patrick had just wrapped their own interview when Patrick spots Danny making a beeline for them, exclaiming: “Danny DeVito! Wow!” while Arnie jokingly mutters: “Oh, Jesus.”
In a seriously wholesome moment, Danny actually swerves Arnie to hug Patrick first while congratulating him on his recent success. Pulling him in, Danny tells his pal’s son: “Congratulations! You are slaying it, everything, really good.”
But when Patrick says: “I love Colin Farrell, he’s so great,” things take a turn, with Danny telling the two men that he isn’t happy with Colin’s casual outfit for their episode. He says: “Yeah. He’s got a sweater on… He looks like a… He didn’t wear a jacket, you know? I’m really pissed off at him.”
Still, Arnold tries to make his pal feel better about the situation, telling him: “It makes you look better. More official… You have to tell him: ‘You know why I’m wearing a jacket? Because I’m unique…. A writer, director, producer, an actor. That’s why I have to be dressed a little differently, OK?’”
At some point during this exchange, Arnie and Danny lower their voices to a whisper, making what they are saying incomprehensible.
“You have to,” Arnold agrees, and at this point, he and Danny link arms as Arnie asks producers: “Where is he? Let’s bother him right away, where’s Colin?”
All three stars then walk off set to find Colin, and it appears that they were successful, with Patrick recently sharing a photo of himself, his dad, Danny, and Colin to his Instagram story. It’s worth noting that Colin is the only one who isn’t smiling in this pic, and that is presumably because Danny and Arnold had teamed up to roast him over his chunky knit sweater just moments before.
