Tony Danza Turns 70

The TAXI and WHOS THE BOSS actor was a boxer before being discovered for the part of Tony Banta for TAXI. He still looks good. Is he family? R1 That is a fake. In the original, he is wearing boxing trunks.

As a millennial gay, Who’s the Boss was slightly ahead of my time, but I do recall when he first got his talk show and thinking he was such a handsome older guy even then.

Like one of the first “older” guys my young self would lust after...

I saw him in "Honeymoon in Vegas" on Broadway in 2015. He was 64 then, I guess. He was thin and incredibly fit. And he was insanely handsome.

Also, he had one finger that went a weird direction.

He gives it. He was on Howard Stern a long time ago and briefly talked about boning Marilu Henner (several of the guys from Taxi had her). Howard asked if he gave her anal, and he didn’t say no. In that same interview, he admitted that he once broke his penis during a fuck session.

FWIW, this makeup artist recounts working on a sitcom with Tony and Clooney in 1990. Tony and George were very close and then had a falling out. George not invited back for second season presumably at Tony's request. Also, includes story about George joining makeup artist and former teen idol Peter Barton on a date, paying for dinner, asking for blowjob afterward and getting nothing.

Tony’s real life son Marc Anthony Danza appeared on an episode of Taxi with him. He was my age and when I watched that episode at 11 or 12 I was filled with uncontrollable jealousy and rage that this kid had this hot man as his father. Tony is rich as fuck from nearly 15 years of sitcom residuals and investments and mainly does cabaret when he feels like working.
