Jenna Ortega spills what made her feel awkward on the set of Wednesday when she embodied the character for the first time.

&#8220;I remember being really&#8230;&#8221;- &#8216;Wednesday’s Jenna Ortega Had a Rather Unusual Start to Playing the Deadpan Teenager for the Netflix Series

Netflix recently announced the return of the record-breaking comedy series
Wednesday for another season. This may not be surprising for viewers, given how
Jenna Ortega enamored us with her stupendous performance. People have already
declared her the best portrayer of this iconic character that television ever
saw, and many fans single-handedly give our Scream queen credit for bringing
worldwide popularity to the show.



The young actress is currently reigning the social media with her dance sequence
and gut-wrenching dialogues. And it wouldn’t be wrong to say that Ortega has
delivered something we never expected. Her spooky unblinking eye and deadpan
face became the very image of Wednesday that will remain cemented in our minds
forever. As of now, we have seen how the California native brought this
death-obsessed girl to life. But do you know how this journey toward enormous
fame started?


JENNA ORTEGA SPEAKS ABOUT HER FIRST EXPERIENCE ON THE SETS OF WEDNESDAY

Jenna Ortega recently sat down with ELLE Magazine for their famous First Thing
With session. During the interview, the global superstar was asked to spill her
first time on the set of Wednesday
[https://www.netflix.com/in/title/81231974?source=35]. In her response to the
question, she stated that she was nervous on the first day when she got ready
for the shot.

“I remember being really really nervous. I remember it’s my first time in hair,
makeup, and wardrobe complete,” revealed the Yes Day star.

Moreover, she added how the show creator, Tim Burton, was not happy with her
pigtails and fringe. The director wanted this latest incarnation of the famous
goth girl to look perfect in every way. He took the comb from the hairdresser
and gave a touch to it himself.



She then revealed how the excessive use of hair spray made her stiff for about
two weeks. And this is how Jenna Ortega went to shoot the deadly piranha scene
on the set. Meanwhile, it was not the only awkward thing she experienced when
she started working on this project. During the first cast outing, things got
weird as the You star had no idea what to say or do and sat silently.
