Last week, when Danny Devito was in Mexico to promote Dumbo, he fell making his way on to the stage. Everyone was worried about him, but he told Extra he is “fine”.
Then he explained what happened. As he walking up the stairs, he got his foot stuck on the top step. He knew he was going to fall, so he just went for it. The reason why he took so long to get up, is that he wanted to check and make sure he did not hurt himself. Which he did not. Although, I think that bodyguard was a little rough with our Danny.
Since nothing, but a fall, gets him down, he still found humor in the situation. Once he recovered, he told them not to print it, even though he knew that they would. Then, when he spoke to Extra, he told Tanika Ray, “As I say to people, I am known to throw myself at the press and I did that day try to emulate Dumbo… but I didn’t have my feather with me, did not fly.” If you can’t laugh at yourself, then no one can.
The one thing that surprised me about the fall is that only two people rushed to help. I would have jumped over people to make sure he was fine. I already lost 2 people from Taxi, I don’t want to lose any more because it is all about me. Plus, he is a national treasure who needs to be protected at all costs.
