Selling Sweat
Child has his sweat in a vial in her fridge. The couple wanted to sell it at MGM Grand in Vegas, but they didn’t want in due to insurance concerns. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Child explained he was inspired when seeing a sweat stained handkerchief of Elvis’ sold for a ton of money. She said, “Rodney had a eureka moment. He said, ‘I sweat more than anybody. My sweat has to be as good as Elvis’ sweat, right?’ and he would sweat a lot up there on stage. So my job became the sweat collector.’
Playing Both Sides
The very talented comedian was never just a typecast guy. No, he is actually one of the very few actors we imagine in the world to ever play the devil and God in a movie. For Adam Sandler’s Little Nicky, he was the devil. Then in Angels with Angels (2005), Dangerfield played the role of God.
