Catherine Zeta-Jones believes “we can all relate” to the Addams family’s “dynamic”.

The 55-year-old actress plays Morticia Addams in Wednesday, the hit Netflix show, and Catherine believes the Addams family are “absolutely grounded in truth”.

She told TODAY.com: “That’s one of the wonderful things about the family dynamic within the show Wednesday is that we can all relate to that. Because I think that, as per Tim (Burton) notes, we keep these characters real. We’re not caricatures. We’re real people.” Morticia is often perceived to be a constant critic of her daughter, Wednesday. However, Catherine believes the mother-daughter relationship is more nuanced than some viewers acknowledge.

The actress - who is married to Hollywood icon Michael Douglas - said: “There’s a part of Morticia that wants Wednesday to be exactly how she is. There’s a strength to this young woman. She has all the outcast attributes and the abilities that are part of Morticia’s world, but there’s a defiance that Morticia never had that Wednesday has.”

Earlier this month, Catherine heaped praise on Jenna Ortega, describing her co-star as “amazing”.

The actress praised Jenna’s professional approach to their sword fight scene on the show. She told People:

“We did rehearse it. It ’s like choreography and stunts.
