Burt Ward Of 'Batman' Says He Took Pills To Shrink Private Parts

So that’s why they called him the Boy Wonder.

Burt Ward, who played sidekick Robin on TV’s “Batman ” in the 1960s, said in an interview with the New York Post’s Page Six  that his bulge was stealing scenes to the point where he was asked to visit a doctor for shrinking pills.

Ward told Page Six that the dynamic duo’s tight-fitting costumes drew ire from the Catholic League of Decency.

“They thought that Robin had a very large bulge for television,” Ward said.

He claimed that ABC executives asked him to reduce the protuberance by going to a doctor for medication “to shrink me up.”

Ward did as he was told but quickly had reservations.

“I took them for three days and then I decided that they can probably keep me from having children,” he said. “I stopped doing that and I just used my cape to cover it.”

His superheroic endowment intact, Ward became a household name alongside Adam West, who played Batman.

Last week, Ward, a 74-year-old father of two, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame . He said he grew up daydreaming every day of being a superhero. “I got it,” he said in the clip above. “And don’t think it was an accident.”
