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 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.
