Catherine Zeta-Jones Chooses Ideal Actor for Cousin It in ‘Wednesday’
Catherine Zeta-Jones, the Oscar-winning actress known for her role as Morticia Addams in Netflix’s series “Wednesday,” is eager to see a famous friend join the cast. During a recent FYC event for the show’s second season, she expressed her desire for Danny DeVito to play the quirky character Cousin It.

At the event, attended by co-stars Jenna Ortega and Luis Guzman, Zeta-Jones highlighted DeVito’s potential fit for the role. The 56-year-old actress stated, “I don’t know how Danny DeVito hasn’t been cast already.”
A Long-Standing Friendship
DeVito, who is 80 years old, has a long history of collaboration with “Wednesday” executive producer and director Tim Burton. His previous work includes:
- 1992’s “Batman Returns”
- 2003’s “Big Fish”
- 2019’s “Dumbo”
In addition, DeVito shares a personal connection with Zeta-Jones through her husband, Michael Douglas, known for their friendship.
Imagining DeVito as Cousin It
“Imagine Danny DeVito as Cousin It?” Zeta-Jones said, illustrating her excitement for the idea. However, she also humorously acknowledged that DeVito might not be thrilled about the role. “He’s gonna kill me for that,” she joked, alluding to the character’s distinctive hair-covered appearance.
Looking Ahead
