On this day, December 9, 1988, the comedy Twins premiered in theaters, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito. Directed by Ivan Reitman, the film followed the unlikely pairing of long-lost twin brothers—one a towering, genetically perfect individual and the other, well, the complete opposite.
Twins marked Arnold Schwarzenegger’s first foray into comedy, a move he later described as the best decision he ever made. The film was a massive hit, showcasing the surprising comedic chemistry between Schwarzenegger and DeVito and proving that Arnold could make audiences laugh just as much as he could impress them in action roles.
