The sofa scene truly appeared like enjoyable to DeVito at first. It was solely as soon as he acquired on set that actuality started to sink in. “Once I learn the script I assumed, wow, that is gonna be cool,” the actor recalled on The Jonathan Ross Present. “Then the concept is I’ve to come back out of the sofa a sure approach […] And also you learn it and also you go okay, you understand, I am going to do this, that feels like actually enjoyable. I do know the solid, I do know the crew, I determine it is gonna be high-quality. However you do not notice you are gonna be in a room with a cocktail celebration with like 100 individuals you have by no means seen earlier than.”
To make issues worse, the “Matilda” star needed to embarrass himself in a room stuffed with strangers extra than simply as soon as. But it surely wasn’t DeVito that was lacking his cue — it was his co-star, Kaitlin Olson, who was rendered speechless. “I needed to come out of the sofa like 4 or 5 occasions,” he continued. “So the primary take, I come out of the sofa […] and there is a clip on Youtube which you could see the place [Olson] is me [with her mouth agape]. I used to be in there some time.”
