Michael Keaton on If He’d Do ‘Beetlejuice' TikTok Dance with Jenna Ortega (Exclusive)

Michael Keaton is returning to the role of Beetlejuice 35 years later in “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice”! 

He sat down with “Extra’s” Tommy DiDario in NYC to talk about slipping back into the character’s shoes, calling it “fun, easy.” Michael dished, “After the first day, got it, we were in.”

Tommy asked what makes Beetlejuice so magical, and Keaton explained, “There is nothing you can compare it to. He's kinda human, he’s not human. There's no rules. You can’t compare that character to anything, I can’t, you know. So, it gives you a kind of freedom, you know, just to go nuts.”

As for why a sequel took so long, Michael explained, "Tim and I never saw anything that was worth shooting."

He also said admitted, “I felt the pressure not to screw it up... This was more than possible to screw up this role, very almost likely, frankly."

DiDario asked if reuniting with Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara was like no time had passed. Michael said, “Mostly, yeah. I love those guys... We weren't gonna do it without them, I don't think."

As for new addition Jenna Ortega, Tommy asked if she blended right into the family? Michael said, “Like a glove. She’s great in this.”

Jenna’s “Wednesday” dance went viral — could we see Michael busting a movie as Beetlejuice on TikTok? 

He teased, “You never know with the guy, you never know what he’s going to be up to.”

As for what he hopes audiences will take away, Michael said, "Have a big, fun time. Forget everything for an hour and a half and just go have some laughs."

Plus, Michael revealed if he’d be game for a third movie, saying, “Maybe, you never know... Probably not today." He added, "I don't say no to too much. Never know."
