Devito: 'a Monkey Nearly Castrated Me!'

[He-Man]

Hollywood star DANNY DeVITO was nearly castrated on the set of 1992 movie BATMAN RETURNS after being attacked by a monkey. The funnyman appeared in the TIM BURTON-directed movie opposite MICHAEL KEATON's BATMAN as THE PENGUIN. He recalls, "There's a scene where a monkey gives me a note from Batman. We rehearsed it several times and the trainer told me to just walk up to him and take it. Of course, I looked quite scary in this Penguin suit and when we shot the scene I had black ooze coming out of my mouth. "I was grunting at this monkey, I went to take the note, and suddenly it leapt toward me and grabbed hold of my nuts, it was almost magnetic. "Luckily, I had so much padding on I didn't feel a thing, but when I got the suit off, I could see that the little b**tard had taken a huge chunk right out of the suit where my nuts were. He came real close."

Yeah, atleast as a blooper at the end of the film or something.
