I’m going to send this to him so he can see it,” [Schwarzenegger commented](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/6vpvoe/til%5Fduring%5Fthe%5Ffilming%5Fof%5Fmatilda%5Fdanny%5Fdevito/dm32bh7/?sh=d53e9248&st=J6S5W4KQ) on Reddit. Schwarzenegger was responding to someone who shared a story of DeVito listening to a painful experience and comforting him. The original post itself was a story on DeVito and Rhea Perlman taking Mara Wilson on outings while they were all filming [_Matilda_](http://time.com/3965924/paper-towns-movie-book-adaptations/item/matilda/) as Wilson’s mother was battling cancer, which she eventually died from. The “GovSchwarzenegger” username was confirmed as Schwarzenegger himself after he did an Ask Me Anything, or AMAs, post three years ago. [Reddit](http://time.com/4905313/total-solar-eclipse-reddit-ama-jeff-kluger/) schedules AMAs in its IAmA subreddit with celebrities and public figures regularly where they have to provide proof of identification to moderators. Schwarzenegger still uses the account to comment on posts periodically. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4916663/arnold-schwarzenegger-on-danny-devito-reddit/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4916663/arnold-schwarzenegger-on-danny-devito-reddit/"},"headline":"Arnold Schwarzenegger Still Really Loves Danny DeVito and This Is Proof","datePublished":"2017-08-25T19:08:01.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:46:49.276Z","description":"\"Danny is a good man (one of the best)\"","url":"https://time.com/4916663/arnold-schwarzenegger-on-danny-devito-reddit/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Arnold Schwarzenegger"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt19aefb55c529efd7/6988db3022fb8558a3e228e2/gettyimages-113529194.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Lisa Marie Segarra","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/lisa-marie-segarra/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt19aefb55c529efd7/6988db3022fb8558a3e228e2/gettyimages-113529194.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger Drops By The Set of \"Relative Strangers\"","caption":"Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger Drops By The Set of \"Relative Strangers\"","creditText":"Photo by Jesse Grant—WireImage)","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4916663/arnold-schwarzenegger-on-danny-devito-reddit/","name":"Arnold Schwarzenegger Still Really Loves Danny DeVito and This Is Proof"}}]}] ```
