Catherine Zeta-Jones Wants Danny DeVito for 'Wednesday' Role

According to Catherine Zeta-Jones, who stars as Morticia on the Netflix series "Wednesday," the show has yet to cast the perfect actor for the role of Cousin It - and she has the perfect suggestion. In a recent interview, Zeta-Jones expressed her belief that veteran actor Danny DeVito would be a great fit for the part, saying "Imagine Danny DeVito as Cousin It? That'd be so cool."

Zeta-Jones, who shares a birthday with her husband Michael Douglas, revealed that she brought up the idea to DeVito himself during their recent celebration. However, the "Chicago" Oscar-winner expects DeVito to be less than thrilled with the suggestion, joking that he'll "kill me for that" and say, "Yeah, they're going to cast me and put hair all over my face. Thanks for suggesting that, Catherine."

In addition to her casting ideas, Zeta-Jones also discussed her reaction to the news that Lady Gaga would be making a cameo appearance on the show. The actress admitted that she had to keep the information secret from her own family, saying "I don't tell Michael. I don't tell my kids." When the news finally broke, Zeta-Jones' loved ones were surprised that she had managed to keep such a high-profile guest appearance under wraps.

As the "Wednesday" cast and crew prepare to reunite for Season 3, Zeta-Jones is hopeful that the new episodes will delve deeper into Morticia's relationship with her mother, played by Joanna Lumley. The actress expressed a desire to see her character's daughter, Wednesday, "snap out of it" and stop "demonizing her mother" so much.
