Michael Keaton recently shared with The New York Times some regrets about his performance in Tim Burton's 2019 live-action film "Dumbo." The Oscar nominee played a greedy theme park owner in the film opposite a cast that included Colin Farrell, Eva Green and Danny DeVito. "Dumbo" received mixed reviews from critics and was seen as a financial disappointment for Disney, grossing just over $350 million at the global box office.
"I love working with Tim, but I don't think we've ever really analyzed why we work so well together; we just do," Keaton told The Times. "I think I let him down in one movie, but that's just my thing and it still bugs me to this day. I had no idea about 'Dumbo.' I was crap in 'Dumbo.'"
Burton intervened in Keaton's interview in The Times, saying: "I don't even know what you're talking about, but okay."
