Steven Spielberg Answers if E.T. Was Slimy or Dry

Steven Spielberg recently answered a question many fans have wondered about for years. He confirmed that his beloved alien, E.T., was "a little moist but never slimy."

In a recent interview, Rachel Abrams directly asked the famous director about E.T.'s skin texture. She explained that this had been a curious point of discussion for many people.

Mr. Spielberg responded with a smile, clarifying his creation's nature. He explained that E.T. was only dry when he was sick, and true sliminess was reserved for other types of movie creatures.

This kind of direct question is sometimes seen as a way to get new information from celebrities. They often tell the same stories after many years in the public eye.

The article notes that viewers could likely see E.T.'s skin was not slimy throughout the film. It appeared to have a soft, leathery feel, not one that would leave a trail.
