Here is the story. Michael Douglas might have died if Danny DeVito weren't such a totally on top of it dude.

During an appearance on the morning television show The Talk, Devito, who is 73, retold a crazy story about that time when he and Douglas, 73, were in mexico shooting the early 80s movie Romancing the Stone.

DeVito remembers there was a man nearby driving a flatbed truck with something in a cage -- oh, hey, it's filled with snakes.

The guys got a snake on his arm, DeVito says.

And he says, Mr. Douglas, Mr. Douglas. And all the kids are coming around. Michael grabs the snake and I say, Michael, dont touch that snake! Thats a snake man. That snake could bite you, man.'

Danny was right.

A snake bit Douglas.

Wack! The snake bites him on the hand, DeVito said. The guy gets it off. I overheard that the best thing to do is you suck the poison out right away. So I did!

Grabbed his hand spitting all over the place, he says as audience member go nuts.

And I said, Its a good thing this thing didnt bite you on the balls, man! You would be a dead man!
