Catherine Zeta-Jones on the 1 Way She's a Mom Like Morticia Addams: EXCLUSIVE
"When it comes to parenting, Catherine Zeta-Jones says she doesn't take after her "Wednesday" character, Morticia Addams - except for in one way. "There's many times I've been thinking I'm putting an old head on young shoulders when my my daughter or my son has done something," she says in an interview with TODAY.com. "Sometimes you have to let step back and let them just do that in parenting." Zeta-Jones shares daughter Carys and son Dylan with husband Michael Douglas."
""It was really important to Tim Burton, when making this adaptation of the Addams family, that they still felt like real people," she says. "He wanted there to be a tether and a groundedness to the real world." "They're supernatural, yes, but only to a certain extent," Ortega continues of the Addams family. "So to be able to explore that with the healthiest family in America, a family that's typically happy and loving - and we have those moments as well - but it added real depth to our characters.""
Catherine Zeta-Jones says she doesn't generally parent like Morticia Addams but sometimes steps back and lets her children act independently. She shares daughter Carys and son Dylan with husband Michael Douglas. Zeta-Jones portrays Morticia, mother to Jenna Ortega's Wednesday Addams and to son Pugsley, in Netflix's Wednesday. Season 2 emphasizes a fraught mother-daughter relationship between Morticia and Wednesday. Jenna Ortega says Tim Burton wanted the Addams family to feel like real people with a tether to the real world, blending limited supernatural elements with grounded family dynamics. Zeta-Jones aimed to keep reality in the mother-daughter portrayal and acknowledged Morticia's high expectations and belief in Wednesday's potential.
