Danny DeVito, 2012.iCons project for Elton John AIDS Foundation
I shot Danny at the Savoy Theatre, whilst he was appearing in Sunshine Boys. I set up the shoot to happen between his Matinee and Evening Performance. It was a very atmospheric shoot as I set up on the stage. Danny is generally a very relaxed character yet got a little too relaxed on this shoot… he fell asleep halfway through the shoot. I thought he was doing a series of silly faces, winky eyes, that was until the snoring started. As I kicked his chair to bring him out of his slumber he apologised profusely. He explained having been around film sets for so many years he is a professional at taking power naps between takes. Danny is not only a professional napper. He is a professional in all senses of the word. He can turn it on when required of him and he is a library of knowledge when it comes to film. It's an education to be in his presence. With regard to the shoot, I felt he knew what I wanted. He's a bit like a woody Allen that way.
"Wherever I am, it's a really good feeling to have that connection to people. I love to go out to talk to people and be with folks. I don't shy away from it."
