Early Life

Jake DeVito was born in October 1987 in New York City, New York. Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman are his guardians. He comes from a family of 3 kids and is the youngest of the DeVito's. He had grown up with his two siblings, Lucy DeVito and Grace DeVito. On his mother's side, Jake has Polish ancestors. Jake's grandfather, a Polish immigrant named Philip Perlman, worked as a manager at a doll parts manufacturing. His grandma also worked as a bookkeeper. Jake's paternal grandpa, Daniel DeVito, who owned a small business, and his grandmother Julia DeVito, hailed from San Felipe, Basilicata, and Calabria, respectively.

His upbringing was rich from childhood onwards because his father was a famous filmmaker and his mother was an actress. Moreover, he had the freedom to pursue a career of his choosing, and his father had connections in the entertainment industry. Judging by his current accomplishment, we can honestly assert that he enrolled in an acting school and sought a profession in it. He was also claimed to be an Oberlin University student. ‎

Parents: Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman

Danny DeVito, Jake's father is a popular and well-known actor best remembered for his role in the sitcom Taxi, which he starred in from 1978 to 1983. In addition, he garnered Golden Globe and Emmy nominations for his performance as taxi dispatcher Louie De Palma in the 1978-1983 television series Taxi. 

His numerous different successful films include 'Batman Returns,' 'The Big Kahuna,' 'Matilda,' and many more. Similarly, Danny DeVito's short stature is due to Multiple Epiphyseal Dysplasia, often known as Fairbank's Disease. Fairbank's Disease is an uncommon hereditary condition that interferes with bone formation.

Jake's mother, Rhea Perlman, is also an actress. She rose to notoriety following her depiction of Carla in the comedic series Cheers. As a matter of fact, Rhea played Zena, Danny's on-screen lover in the popular sitcom Taxi. The couple originally met in 1971 during a show in Shrinking Bride and later reconnected for the second time through mutual friends. Their acquaintance gradually deepened and evolved into love, and the connection blossomed into two. On January 28, 1982, the couple married and later were blessed with three children. Back then, the two had a steadily developing career and were famous for a long time. After three decades of marriage, the pair confirmed their divorce in 2012. The couple reunited the following year and remained together till 2017. They divorced amicably in 2017 and have stayed on decent terms since then.

Siblings: Lucy DeVito and Grace Fan DeVito

Lucy DeVito, Jake's older sister, was born on March 11, 1983, and has appeared in films and tv shows such as 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,' 'Shameless,' 'Can You Ever Forgive Me?,' and 'Deadbeat.'

Grace Fan DeVito, Jake's second older sister, is also an actor. She was born on March 25, 1985. She has featured in the films Amboy,' 'Bloom,' and 'My Girlfriend's Abroad.'

Controversies

Jake DeVito took the time on the set of the International Film Festival to talk about the film industry's tinderbox diversity issue, and he didn't hold back.

 ‎He further stated that despite the fact that certain people have had really outstanding achievements in movies, they were not even considered. We live in a country with racial tendencies and distinctions. Some people welcomed his statements, while others found them to be controversial.

Physical Stats

The dashing actor stands tall at a height of 5ft 5 inches. He, on the other hand, weighs about 60 kg. His small stature is not due to a natural occurrence.
