Netflix&#039;s Wednesday is currently taking the world by storm and Jenna Ortega took it all just with her unblinking stare.

Did You Notice Jenna Ortega Not Blinking in &#8216;Wednesday&#8217;? Here’s Why

Jenna Ortega has gone all viral after the long-awaited series Wednesday arrived
on Netflix. The eldest daughter of the Addams Family takes the stage in the
death-loving titular role. Breaking all the records of the English language
series this show has captured the attention of viewers. Fans can’t stop gushing
about the performance of this young star. She is just blowing up the internet
right now whether it’s her amazing dance sequence or sword fight.



The eight-episode Netflix series has left fans enamored and they are obsessed
with this pale-skinned girl. Her dark fashion and awfully shocking views about
death are something we have never heard before. The Scream Queen has presented
this character most authentically and attractively that even her sadistic
tendencies and taste for torture were loved by viewers. But there is something
impressive you might have missed in her role-play.


WHY DID JENNA ORTEGA NOT BLINK IN WEDNESDAY? 

In a new tweet shared by the official account of Netflix it was revealed that
Jenna Ortega did not blink
[https://collider.com/wednesday-why-jenna-ortega-does-not-blink/] in the whole
show. Her unblinking stare in Wednesday made her iconic character more impactful
because this unnatural trait made people uncomfortable.

The caption described how the director Tim Burton just tried this non blinking
idea in one scene and it just turned out great so the actress did not blink
after that. This creative improvisation has certainly made her character look
more pessimistic and added a spark to her dark personality.

Even though every adaptation brings a new angle to the long running iconic
characters like Wednesday Addams, this Netflix series has divulged out some
hidden aspects of this gothic teenager. From the choices of costume to hairstyle
to unearthing the emotional side of her is something Ortega has made a mark of
herself on the character.



Meanwhile, in a recent interview,

Ortega opened up about how she wanted this adaptation to be unique. At the same
time, she wanted to keep the core of that character alive so she did not discuss
anything with former portrayer, Christina Ricci.
