Danny DeVito 'loves' getting to act opposite his daughter

Danny DeVito "loves" getting to act opposite his daughter.

The 79-year-old actor has Lucy, 41, Grace, 39, and 37-year-old Jake with his estranged wife Rhea Perlman and now he and his eldest have teamed up together as a father and a daughter in the upcoming holiday film 'A Sudden Case of Christmas'.

He told MovieWeb: "It was amazing! It was really, really great. Lucy and I love working with each other, we were planning to do a Broadway show which we ultimately did but then this came along as a gift. Playing a father and daughter, we played father and daughter in the play, not that we can't play other parts together but this is something really special for both of us."

In the film, a couple bring their 10-year-old daughter to her grandfather's hotel in Italy to tell her that they are separating and the little girl spends the holiday season trying to get them back together.

'A Sudden Case of Christmas' will stream from November 7.
