Twins stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito have shared a heartwarming picture of their reunion.
The 76-year-old Terminator actor delighted fans on Friday (December 29) by sharing a picture of him with DeVito, 79, and DeVito’s daughter Lucy, 40, on the set of their Broadway play, I Need That.
“My brother! It was fantastic to see Danny on Broadway in I Need That,” Schwarzenegger wrote in a caption posted on Instagram. “He and Lucy and everybody involved kept the audience entertained, laughing and loving every minute.
“One of the best plays I’ve ever seen, a true spectacle with heart!! I can’t wait to work together again,” he concluded.
Check out the reunion below:
The actors famously costarred in 1988’s Twins, a comedy that saw the pair play genetically engineered brothers named Julius and Vincent Benedict who were separated at birth.
The movie grossed $111 million at the domestic box office upon its release and was the fifth highest-grossing film released that year, according to Box Office Mojo.
Many enthusiastic fans reacted to the reunion which comes 35 years after the film’s release. One user penned in the comment section: “If this isn’t the most wholesome photo…”
Another said: “And I‘m just watching TWINS on German television,” while a third quipped: “For everyone who might not know: Danny is the small guy on the right, not the tall one in the middle!”
A fourth commented: “I just watched Twins again last week. I loved the scene when they are in the convenience store and Danny is telling Arnold that his chest and back have huge bumps all over, so funny.”

The pair were planning for a Twins sequel titled Triplets, which would involve the brothers discovering they are triplets, and additional actors like Eddie Murphy and Tracy Morgan were rumored to join. However, the project was put on the back burner when director Ivan Reitman sadly passed away in February 2022.
Schwarzenegger revealed to the Hollywood Reporter that the late filmmaker’s death effectively ended any interest in a sequel. “Jason Reitman literally stopped the project when his father died,” he said. “His father wanted to do it really badly. I wanted to do it really badly.
“Danny DeVito wanted to do it really badly. We had the financing. When his father passed away, Jason says, ‘I never liked the idea’ and put a hold on it,” he added.
The It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star also shot down a Twins reunion in an interview with GQ in November, stating: “Arnold [Schwarzenegger] and I want to work together. We missed Twins 2, because he became governor – which, he should have done Twins 2 instead of becoming governor.
“Now we have a little thing going, a little project that we’ve been chatting about,” the Matilda actor said, revealing that the plans have nothing to do with Twins.
DeVito added: “No, it’s just two friends, two guys, because we have a good time together. We complement each other in a lot of ways. I am way stronger than he is.”
