Danny DeVito Spills The Beans On Saving Michael Douglas From Poisonous Snake

Danny DeVito is revealing the truth behind his heroic tale about saving Michael Douglas from a poisonous snake in Mexico.

DeVito told “The Talk” four years ago that Douglas allowed a snake to go onto his arm while filming the 1984 flick “Romancing the Stone,” People reported . Douglas, he said, claimed the snake was “no big deal.” 

Then it bit him on the hand. 

“And I always heard the best thing to do is suck the poison out, right away, so I did,” DeVito claimed. “I grabbed his hand and I’m spitting all over the place, and I say, ‘Boy, it’s a good thing this didn’t bite you on the balls man — you would be a dead man.’”

A lie detector test, however, determined that was a lie.

Actor Lucy DeVito asked her father about the story in a video posted by Vanity Fair on Thursday.

Samantha Barrios, who was operating a lie detector, told DeVito her dad wasn’t being honest and that’s when he fessed up.
