Jenna Ortega has finally revealed the reason behind choosing the Wednesday script.
For those unversed, the 22-year-old actress, who is currently gearing up for the release of the second season of the supernatural mystery comedy, stars as Wednesday Addams in the series.
In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jenna said that “She’s also one of the few protagonists who is able to get away with that, aside from villains — who tend not to have emotional growth or depth.”
“I actually did an audition for [a Wednesday animated movie] when I was 14, and I didn’t get it. I remember telling my mom, That would be cool to be her, though,” she added.
Recalling the filming of season two, Jenna said, “I don’t think I’ve ever shot a scene in my life that has not kept me up at night and given me nightmares.”
“I can’t watch the stuff that I do because I don’t think I would ever show my face again. I was 17 or 18 when we started this, and I was so nervous and so scared,” she said.
For those unversed, Wednesday season 2 will be released in two parts. The first part is set to release on Netflix on August 6, while the second part will premiere on September 3.
