  • Christina Ricci and Raul Julia chatted with ET on set of the 1991 classic comedy, ‘The Addams Family.’ Ricci, who famously played Wednesday Addams, was just 11-years-old in this behind-the-scenes interview! Upon landing the iconic role that’s inspired countless Halloween costumes, Ricci said her friends would annoy her by always humming the TV show’s theme song. Julia, who portrayed family patriarch Gomez Addams, believed the movie’s core message is to respect people who are usually perceived as ‘weird.’ There’s also peeks at deleted scenes while Julia rehearsed Gomez’s ‘Mamushka’ dance sequence with composer Marc Shaiman!

    It saddens me though, thinking about Raul Julia. I wish he were still around to see the impact he made (to future generations at least) as Gomez. And his message of treating people equally, no matter how different, is beautiful.

    Addams Family Values is the best sequel ever (Well besides Terminator 2)

    I want to see an Addams family reboot where Christina Ricci gets to play Morticia Addams. She also somehow resembles Carolyn Jones of the Original series.

    I know this video is Christina Ricci centric, but Raul Julia will forever be my Gomez Addams. No one has to come close to his performance as far as I'm concerned.

    Her Wednesday version will always be my favorite and Jenna's Wednesday is second to my list

    Crazy how she plays the villain in the new Wednesday show. Pretty ironic lol.

    RIP Raul Julua. To see a Puerto Rican on tv when you didn't really see them was huge for my family. It's even more amazing that the new Gomez is another boricua. Well a sorta Rican. Still Puerto Rican blood

    The Addams Family 🖤🤍 they maybe weird, and creepy, but in a cool way. Their uniqueness what makes them stand out amongst the rest.
