Actor Danny DeVito expresses fondness for Michelle Pfeiffer, his co-star in 'Batman Returns'.
In an off-the-cuff conversation with Colin Farrell for Variety's Actors on Actors series, Danny DeVito couldn't help but spill the beans about his crush on Michelle Pfeiffer during their time working together on Batman Returns in 1992.
That's right, fans, Danny confesses he had quite the thing for his co-star and Catwoman herself, Michelle Pfeiffer. Their roles, with Danny as the Penguin and Michelle as Catwoman, seemed to spark something more than just on-screen chemistry.
"She was a goddess," Danny began, blushing at the memory. He admitted that if he knew she was going to be in a scene that day, he'd get all worked up and "put extra makeup on."
When the show host joked, "Did you brush your teeth that morning?," Danny jokingly replied, "I got all flushed." On a serious note, he shared that Michelle was "just so wonderful" that he "lusted after her," but with a chuckle, he emphasized that this lust was mainly rooted in the dynamic between their characters.
As the Penguin, Danny admitted that he might have been the one who was smitten with Catwoman. "I kind of feel like she liked it. She liked Oswald," he quipped, hinting that Michelle embraced the playful chemistry and on-screen dynamic between their characters.
While there's no evidence to suggest that Michelle had romantic feelings for Danny off-screen, it's clear that their on-screen chemistry was electrifying. The emphasis here is on the characters’ dynamic, not on any real-life romance.
Movies and TV provided an entertainment platform for the electrifying chemistry between Danny DeVito and Michelle Pfeiffer during their roles in Batman Returns. The off-screen dynamic between the Penguin and Catwoman, while not revealing any real-life romance, still captivated fans with their on-screen entertainment.
