Danny DeVito's cardboard cutout game is Apps Archivesstrong.

After a hardcore fan, Allison Closs, took a cardboard cutout of the actor as her escort to prom, DeVito responded in the best way — by making a cardboard cutout of the teen and bringing it to set with him.

Rob McElhenney, DeVito's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphiaco-star, shared photographic evidence of the cardboard cutout on Instagram, writing, "Hey Allison- I heard you took cardboard Danny to Prom. What a coincidence. He took cardboard Allison to Paddy's..."

In a YouTube video, Closs went on to share what inspired her to take the cardboard cutout as her date to prom.

"I was having trouble finding a prom date... I couldn't find myself a date in real life or with an actual human," she said, "So I bought one on Amazon."

The DeVito cutout reportedly cost Closs $100, she borrowed a tie from her brother's closet, and invested in a square scooter, which she duct taped the cutout to and attached a leash for easy mobility.

"I have always loved Danny. I loved him on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, I loved him in Hercules and Matilda. I just love him in every form he takes," she said. "Danny was there for me when I really needed him. He treats me the way a woman should be treated."

So stop stressing about finding the perfect human to take to prom, as you can see it looks like cardboard cutouts are the way to go.
