Why couldn’t Christina Ricci, aka Wednesday Addams, watch Wednesday’s teaser?

When the interviewer mentioned that the show’s teaser was awesome, Christina interrupted her. She said that she hadn’t watched the teaser yet. And the reason behind that is Ricci has become a mom recently, and her baby kept her up the whole night before that. She only slept for two hours and woke up only a while ago. She had to watch it while holding her phone on silent mode. As she mentioned this, she added, “I was like Oh My God I have to post it.” 

The host later asked her what’s it like for her to return to a world where she’s played the same character before in a different role that was most creatively fulfilling for her. In response to that, she said, “I have always seen myself as kind of a natural contrarian where everybody’s thrilled to do the wrong thing, it’s just great for me.”
