Students at SUNY Purchase College in New York discovered a garbage shrine to Danny DeVito hidden behind a bathroom paper towel dispenser.
The mildly-disturbing garbage pile erected in honor of the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star went viral this week after a number students posted the discovery on social media.
Videos show the silver dispenser swung open revealing a large hole in the wall that opens to a small unfinished room covered in graffiti. In the corner stands a smiling DeVito giving a thumbs up.
In front of the actor there's a sign that says: 'Leave an Offering for Our Lord and Savior Danny DeVito, Patron Saint of Trash Men.'
And many people have in fact left their trash - old cough drops, magazines, candy wrappers - at the actor's altar.
A garbage shrine honoring actor Danny DeVito erected by students at SUNY Purchase College in New York has gone viral on social media. Twitter user @KathIeenann shared the photo above
The shrine is located in a small graffiti-filled cove hidden behind a paper towel dispenser in a bathroom in Purchase's Visual Arts building
Purchase student Emma, whose Twitter handle is @emfriedchicken, revealed the shrine was located in a bathroom in the Visual Arts building on the school's Harrison campus.
'One of my friends said she heard that the paper towel dispenser comes out of the wall,' she told Mashable in a Twitter direct message.
'And she wanted to see what is behind it, so we went one Friday night at like midnight... and there it was. Danny DeVito.'
'We could tell it's been there a while because there was paper towels on the floor in the secret room. And our campus only uses air dryers now!'
Students have started a petition to have DeVito (pictured in September) come speak at Purchase graduation next spring
Emma said it's 'tradition' to leave something at the altar, so she and her friends left coupons for a nearby restaurant.
Unfortunately, the shrine's viral fame is what led to its demise, as it has reportedly now been sealed off by the university.
'It was good harmless fun for students for a long time,' @nickforero11 wrote on Twitter. 'But sadly all of the attention made the administration aware of it and they took it away.'
It's legacy lives on in both a Change.com petition for DeVito to speak at Purchase's graduation next spring - which has been signed by more than 500 people as of Saturday morning - and a tweet from the actor himself.
Devito shared a link about the shrine on Twitter Friday, writing: 'Your shrine honors me. My heart is filled with love and garbage. Tomorrow, as you may know, is my name day. Do something that makes you feel good. Above all be kind to each other. Pick up trash, recycle, and be aware of plastics in the ocean. '
Purchase also invited the actor-producer-director to campus to meet his 'super fans' on Twitter.
'We'd like to say we're surprised,' the college wrote. 'But our students are well known for their creativity and sense of humor.'
DeVito tweeted an article about the shrine on Friday, thanking the students for erecting it
Purchase invited the actor-producer-director to meet his 'super fans' in a tweet Wednesday
The shrine was a well-kept secret until it went viral this week and the school to sealed the room
A tweet from @slackerdook has been liked over 550,000 times since being posted Tuesday

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
