Access Hollywood’s Zuri Hall spoke to “Wednesday” star Jenna Ortega about the popular Netflix series based on the “Addams Family.” She opened up about the physical transformation for the role and what the show’s creator Tim Burton thought of it. “The bangs came into play which he really really loved.” Jenna said. Adding, “I remember on the first day looking in the mirror and not recognizing myself and then you do it for 8 months and by the then you’re just thinking, ‘Get it off of me.’”

    I feel like everyone is acting like this is her first good, big role, but she's been so good for so long. Like her performance in The Babysitter Killer Queen and in The Fallout were both so beautiful and so well done

    I can’t explain how fond I’ve been of Jenna since the Disney days. I just feel like I really resonate with her. She’s so likeable.

    woah the interviewer is so nice and kind
  • Jenna is fit for horror and comedy. I remember watching from stuck in the middle, but I forgot about her, so glad she played wednesday or Else those memories would be gone
  • That sense of humor prepares you for real life, I swear. Comedic way to get to the acceptance stage quicker 😅 power through life

    I’m so happy for Jenna, like just in general. Im happy she’s getting noticed now more for the amazing talent of acting she has but it also kills me that most people recognise her from Wednesday and literally nothing else. Like take Yes day for example, she starred in Yes day and she did an incredible job, her acting is always on point and she’s always taking her roles really serious. I’m so proud and in love with her.

    I think Jenna’s version of Wednesday is the best new performance on TV. It doesn’t hurt that she is also drop dead gorgeous.

    It's nice to see that people like we with dry dark humor exist somewhere, just not in my village, not in my region, not in this country. I see very negative trend in last years, when you say some dark humor, you are considered toxic and bad person which is just wrong, we are not toxic, other people just don't understand to us. 😀

    I love how humble and confident she is. You can tell she's a powerful woman with a good head on her shoulders. Probably had parents that built her up and taught her to believe in herself. I believe if more parents did this the world would have more Jenna's in it.
