Danny DeVito Confesses Epic Crush on Michelle Pfeiffer During Batman Returns
Brilliant, Danny DeVito admitting he ‘lusted after’ Michelle Pfeiffer on the set of Batman Returns—what fresh drama is this? According to the New York Post, the pint-sized Penguin star just fessed up to being utterly captivated by Pfeiffer’s Catwoman transformation back in 1992. In a recent sit-down, DeVito described Pfeiffer as “a goddess,” a confession that People Magazine later echoed, recalling how co-workers watched him ogle her every move during fights, kisses and wig adjustments. I don’t *want* to say “I told you so,” but holy wardrobe malfunctions, anyone could see sparks flying off-screen.
Let’s break it down, since apparently nobody noticed until now. Tim Burton’s gothic sequel set delivered more than swirl-cape action—it stirred something in DeVito’s chest. He said he admired how Pfeiffer “slid on those thigh-high boots” and “moved like lightning.” People who were on set—grab your popcorn—confirm he kept sneaking peeks during her scenes and even joked with the crew, “You think this Penguin can get a date?” That anecdote surfaced in a 2018 panel, and now it’s back in heavy rotation thanks to a New York Post exclusive.
Of course, calling Pfeiffer a “goddess” sounds dramatic, but let’s be honest: have you seen her Catwoman outfit? It’s practically mythic. Sources at Entertainment Weekly noted that DeVito’s admiration went beyond playful banter; he reportedly sent her flowers between takes. Did anyone care? Apparently not—everyone was too busy fawning over Burton’s neon-soaked sets. I’m here rolling my eyes at the obvious, but hey, that’s my job.
Now, let’s get real: this confession isn’t exactly Oscar-worthy shocker. Michelle Pfeiffer has long been hailed as one of Hollywood’s most stunning screen presences, and Danny DeVito… well, he’s always been refreshingly blunt. Marrying those two energies on a Warner Bros. soundstage was bound to produce some off-camera heat. If you’re looking for revelations about DeVito’s love life beyond this, brace yourself—he’s the kind of guy who keeps his personal affairs under tight wraps.
So there you have it. Danny DeVito lusted after Michelle Pfeiffer, deemed her a goddess, and everyone had a front-row seat to his swooning. Did we really need to know this? Nope. And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things.
