about food, forging a second career as a popular chef and cookbook author.
The affable and portly star, described as a natural comedian who kept the laughs rolling even when the cameras weren't, died Monday at age 75.
"You can't teach someone to be funny," his agent, Robert Malcolm, said Tuesday. "He was born funny, and he knew how to charm you and he knew how to make you feel comfortable. He loved people."
DeLuise was surrounded by his wife and three sons when died "peacefully" Monday evening at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif., Malcolm said.
DeLuise appeared in scores of movies and TV shows, in Broadway plays and voicing characters for numerous cartoons. Writer-director-actor Mel Brooks particularly admired DeLuise's talent for offbeat comedy and cast him in several films, including "Blazing Saddles" and "Robin Hood: Men in Tights."
In part because of his passion for food, the actor battled obesity, reaching as much as 325 pounds and for years resisting family members and doctors who tried to put him on various diets.
On the positive side, his love of food resulted in two successful cookbooks.
He finally agreed in 1993 when his doctor refused to perform hip replacement surgery until he lost 100 pounds (he lost enough weight for the surgery, though gained some of it back).

NEWYORK—Rihanna is back — on the red carpet, at least.
The pop singer arrived Monday at the annual Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum gala in New York. It was her first such appearance since then-boyfriend Chris Brown allegedly beat her in February.
Rihanna arrived in black including both the SUV and her Dolce and Gabbana suit and bow tie. She was the last celebrity to walk the carpet and did not speak with press.
"Vogue" editor Anna Wintour once again hosted the gala, which this year served as the kickoff to "The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion" exhibit. Kate Moss co-chaired the event with Justin Timberlake.
Guests included Madonna, Victoria Beckham and designer Stella McCartney with her muses: Kate Hudson and Liv Tyler.
MUSIC Country star Paisley finds son's name in wife's dream
While a guest on National Public Radio's "A Prairie Home Companion" Saturday, Paisley told host Garrison Keilor that his wife, actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley, dreamed they had a boy and they named him Jasper.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Country music star Brad Paisley has found inspiration for songs in some unexpected places. So why not the name of his second child?
So, when their son was born April 17, they named him Jasper Warren Paisley.
The baby's middle name comes from Paisley's grandfather, who gave Brad his first guitar.
Jasper Warren joins older brother William Huckleberry, who was born in February 2007.
Last month, Paisley won best male vocalist at the Academy of Country Music Awards. He is also the reigning Country Music Association male vocalist of the year.
