The duo we never knew we needed
As Are and As Is Most of These Wonderful, Incredible Conversations
We never knew we needed it bc we don’t
@@TameMartinez then why are you here
@@mxtsuriii2276 I’m not here, this video came up on my recommended so I clicked on it to read the comments
@@TameMartinez ty for the views though
I love that she cried and Elle didn’t react by saying “oh don’t cry” or something similar. Because as an emotional person oftentimes you are made to feel like crying is bad.
It was so sweet how she just reassured her and said it's okay
crying in public is weak as fuck, grow a pair
Saying dont cry to a person crying dosent help at all too, is like telling an angry person to calm down lmao emotions need to come up
@@ZZZZZZDDDDADA yes totally
@@ZZZZZZDDDDADA It's also so dismissive of the other person's emotions to say "don't cry" and is typically said because the speaker can't handle that the other person is showing raw emotion.
This interview was so wholesome. Two random actors paired up and the conversation flows so naturally, I think they clicked so much, and Elle looks so wise and supportive. She def gives older sister vibes even though she is not. Elle is so sweet and such a ray of sunshine and Jenna is so honest and real, I loved it. My favourite so far.
610 likes and no comments? Let me fix that😊
This was so heartwarming ❤ and educational ❤
Dude when Elle said “you are perfection” 7:04 and it flashes to Jenna’s face you can tell that she genuinely was taken back by it 7:10 because she said she looked up to the Fanning sisters while growing up 😢
I know🥲 I love them both so much, but Jenna is my favorite ❤️
It's so cute 😭😭😭
@FalseHoodx Elle is my favorite just like her sister Dakota
The Fanning sisters are some of the most talented actors that have been acting since babies and also remained grounded and unproblematic. Love them.
Yes. Such a rarity for child actors to grow up while sidestepping all the pitfalls of fame at such a young age. They're extremely lucky or their parents raised them well. Being sisters looking out for each other must be nice. I remember Dakota showing a big sister side when they did the dubbing voices for Miyazaki's My Neighbor Totoro.
@@mhawang8204 Yeah I used to watch every single Dakota Fanning movie. She was my favorite actress growing up.
That's so true ❤
They need to be in more popular films these days. They're really good actresses.
Love both Dakota and Elle so much!
I hope these two become friends after this because this is the most comfortable I have seen Jenna in an interview. Elle Fanning is the best and so thoughtful. Incredible since she's been through the ringer as an actress and dealing with fame this well but I hope there are more people in Jenna's life that help her deal with the social media aspect of her life or take her off it to protect her.
And I do want to see these two in a movie together too.
It's funny cos' both Jenna Ortega and Elle Fanning were on *The Hollywood Reporter's* latest "Comedy Actress Roundtable" together with Sheryl Lee Ralph and Ayo Edebiri, but this interview here was seemingly recorded before that one, which release yesterday. Like, there they are already acting like friends of sorts. kzhead.info/sun/ds9sf7mhiaSAY4E/bejne.html
My understanding is she mostly stays off social media because of the reasons she has expressed in this interview. She probably either has people or family that help her manage her socials
She dumped Twitter a few months ago which is the best thing she could do. That place SUUUCKS. I dumped it myself a couple weeks ago.
I know Hunter (the guy who played Tyler) has said in interviews (which emma has confirmed) that he sends Jenna and Emma Myers art he comes across because they're not on social media.
Elle felt like Jenna’s big sister here. Jenna idolises her and Elle respects Jenna as a human. I’ve never seen one of these interviews where people join as humans, and just talk ❤

I love how articulate and mature Jenna is for her age.
she’s almost 21. she’s ok but, I mean, others are just immature at that age, in my opinion.
literally, the way she speaks satisfies my brain
She's an old soul ❤
Yes, thats so true
Elle Fanning just gives of KIND VIBES!!
*off ;)
she's an angel. inside and out.
She does! Love her and her sister Dakota.
She definitely does. I do think some of her answers come off as a little more vague because she's had the media training and practice to protect herself. I'm glad she's able to do so and still be genuine!
She and her sisters are really cool❤💙
Elle seems really wise, I love how she handled Jenna's emotions. Jenna is really having a hard time lately. We've all been young once and made mistakes, but when you're in the public eye, some people doesn't give you the grace for those mistakes. Elle is very kind to acknowledge her struggle and giving her very helpful advices that a young girl really needs in her age. This talk is very authentic and very comforting.
Elle's a little older then Jenna and has been through what she is now expierenceing so she knows what its like and can relate.
id argue that Jenna didnt make mistakes. shes just hyper analyzed.
@@videovoidtv Agreed she looks young but she has been working since she was a child that creates maturity. the fact that she is willing to be exposed is amazing and I hope that the backlash doesn’t make her build a public eye persona as a way to put up walls or to hide what she really wants to say. I wish Elle told her that her openness is refreshing but to be more strategic about what she says because of the downsides of the media. When I saw how she bad mouthed her executive producer being more Elle age I thought wow y would she do that. Then I thought about it and she exposed something that allowed people to stop thinking of her as a puppet she allowed her voice to be heard and as a result she is a producer now. She was given respect. So I hope what she does becomes the norm
@@Someonedb43 If you read what she said about the Wednesday scripts, it looks like she had pride and guardianship for the character. When she said Wednesday would never say that or act that way… I agreed. And as a mid 30s dude i have a deep love for this character. Christina Ricci was so special and you cant just ignore that feel.
@@DocDarknessElle has become wise 💯💯 glad she is like a mentor for jenna
People barely realize she is one of the few Latinas in the spotlight, there is a lot of jealousy and negativity around her, and I'm so glad she's this resilient. She's a genuinely inspiring young woman!
Jenna also appears to be really in-tune with the creation side of film-making. She's got a great career ahead!
nah she can’t even speak Spanish properly she’s just another Jennifer Lopez who thinks just bc they have families from Latin America means they are one when they can’t even speak the language
facts i’m so proud of her!
No es latina pero bueno
If her name wasn’t ortega nobody would think she is latina. She is white passing which is why she gets the role she does
Elle is like a real life fairy 🧚♀️✨
Ikrrr
Elle Fanning is incredible and it’s so nice that she’s been getting her flowers lately. What an amazing career she’s had and she’s only 25. I definitely see her getting an Oscar nomination in the near future
Yes, I've been saying this since she was in Phoebe in Wonderland. An incredible performance.
@@emzistar Not enough people know about that movie!
@@emzistar I love that movie! Her performance was amazing and she was such a young child.
@@emzistar still remember watching that movie when i was 9. I am 22 now 😍
She’s aging well she looks 19 but seems 30 w her personality
Love that they’re ditching the romance for Wednesday, those storyline’s were a mess! Go Jenna!
yep because the reveal of the vilain was SO predictable... I was like its definitely the good guy... And even the character of Christina Ricci character where a mess. She want to the school to be a teacher and she's waiting for someone from the Addam family to show up basically.... But if no one come what would she have done. Or at the end she send the monster to kill Wednesday at the train station but 5 minutes later she's like I need you to be alive... I bet with Jenna producing hat season 2 will be better then the first
@@ooscardls I agree the writing in general was all too mediocre basically the only really good part about the show was Jenna Ortega’s performance, even some of the other characters were just not played the best. For example Enid I like her she’s fun but she also has some of the corniest lines. It’s interesting how Jenna already had to step up and make her own changes for her character I bet it was frustrating so her actually having a bigger say is pretty big I trust she knows what’s best for Wednesday.
Totally understand that. The love triangle felt to basic and predictable for a character like Wednesday because teenage romance and love triangles have been done so many times and I really can't see a character like Wednesday being part of something like that. I can see Wednesday being in love at some point, maybe someone she has a strong bond with. I personally think that Wednesday would be the sort of character that falls for one person and that would be it, but Wednesday is only 16, she is to young for all that love stuff and we just need at least 1 season where they just focus on the characters. I actually ship Wednesday and Enid a bit though and maybe who knows they can build up a strong bond between the two over a course of 3-4 seasons, then get them together if it makes sense. I don't want them forcing it.
When did they say that?
@@pambrown3350 I know it probably won't happen and I would much rather Wednesday not be in any romantic relationship but that won't stop me from liking Wednesday and Enid's relationship. At least be respectful to my opinions. I am of yours.
Jenna is so sharp and articulate. Watching her speak and decide how to construct her sentences (her vocabulary is exquisite!) you can tell there is so much going on in her mind. And Elle is so mature and grounding and calming and comforting, like the best kind of older sister (ironic since she’s the younger sister in real life). What a fantastic duo and wonderful conversation!

Elle Fanning is like sunshine. Her energy just radiates though the screen. Jenna was immediately comfortable with her, and this conversation went to very interesting places and it was so entertaining to learn so muchh about them both. Two young talents that have been working for so many years and it's great to see them get recognized. Can't wait to see what they will do next.

Seriously. She looks so bubbly and contangiously happy lol. Ignore the bot comments above
Elle Fanning is so underrated. She is unbelievable in 'The Great'
Absolutely! She's one of the few actors that can make me cry along with them... I don't know how she does it. She breaks down and I'm GUTTED. Amazing talent.
She's great in 'the neon demon' too
@@kyanne11 Exactly ! I was crying with her in the final episodes of The Great. She has extraordinary talent
the fact that anyone could say anything negative about such a beautiful soul like Jenna breaks my heart. what a wonderful person!
Me to she really broke My heart seeing her cry is soo painful and so moving 😭 I've never seen Jenna cry 😢 I know jenna is a very strong person and can handle her self and her career 😢 but getting to the point that she is crying just makes me sad. And l really hope she gets better soon 😢 and that we never see her crying before and it's just soo emotional 😔.
She is full of herself
@@farahaugustin2863 when did she cry?
@@farahaugustin2863 I’ve seen Jenna cry in the scream movies but this…this is the real deal. When those pics of her surfaced drinking wine and smoking many were mad/hating due to her not being 21 even tho she was in a country where it was legal to drink and smoke at her age now. Let her do her thang.
She doesn't like it when people put her on a pedestal...
I love how honest and vulnerable these sessions get. This one's special because both of them are such young people but are pretty seasoned actors for their ages and with all the attention Jenna's getting in her professional and personal life, things are undoubtedly full of pressure. And Elle can fully understand that. So it's just cool to see this pairing, and it must be nice for two young professionals to be able to just talk and relate with Elle sharing her wisdom and experiences with Jenna. I also forget how YOUNG Elle is because shes been acting for so long. And with her sister being in hollywood for so long it just baffles me to think Elle is only 25.

Seeing Jenna in such a relaxed state is honestly so relieving for me, and I imagine relieving for a lot of us to be able to learn about her journey where she can fully express herself. I think this interview really helps to acknowledge that the industry they work in is wholly devouring and so dangerous despite its rewards. Elle Fanning creates such a raw and honest environment, and you really get to see the impacts this all has (in a good way). Jenna is such a sweet, talented soul who deserves every ounce of success, and it hurts to know there are people out there mean enough to try and ruin this for her. Social media is a literal war zone, and it’s so so unfair that people like her are victims to it just because of the inhumane types of people online. It’s a place of limitless freedom and too often this is exploited rather then celebrated.

Its so stupid too since obviously many ppl get success who are assholes, it happens, but Ortega is such a wonderfully decent person, she’s not egotistical, she’s young but she’s super humble, and yet somehow ppl still go after her, and she’s so super talented and not just Wednesday, when i saw her in X, and then Wednesday and then Scream I thought she absolutely deserves this fame and money. I mean i dont understand how many horrible famous ppl there are but ppl always go after the genuinely decent ones for no reason other than spite and easy targets and getting a reaction from them. Jared Leto won’t respond to their tweets/comments but Ortega will, or will leave social media.
Jenna opening up about Social Media and becoming so emotional really tugs at the heart strings. Heres a young woman who only wants to do the best job she can in her career to entertain people and was driven off platforms by so called "fans" who twist and manipulate everything she's says or does. My hope is that shes beginning to realize that being herself is the ONLY way to present one's self, and that haters are going to hate regardless of what she does. Being true to herself and ignoring the madness that is the internet will go a long way in helping her overcome her fears and hesitancy. Its nice knowing that despite it all she's still so passionate about acting and eager to perform, it's wonderful to hear her say that.
Well said!!
I think it should be illegal to say negative and hurtful things to any person under a certain age,1 minute whole world loves Jenna and the next the poor girl has a glass of wine and a cigarette and people are treating her like she injected Heroin into herself,I emotionally feel for her I can’t imagine what she’s feeling
@@irenalawlor1935 Its more then just that. Her popularity has so rapidly risen that she's gone from a up n coming but still relative unknown actor to super stardom basically over night. It's fundamentally changed her life and done so very quickly. The sudden interest in her and the microscope she finds herself living under now must be daunting. If you think about it for 10 years she's been acting and socializing on various platforms. To suddenly need to pivot away from things she'd been doing as little as 7 months ago for her own mental health and safety would be upsetting. She's such a kind soul, a really great person and its almost as if people like her are attacked just for that reason. Like she said all this ugliness is worth her being able to do what she loves and she will learn to handle all this in due time, shes 20 still learning and growing. To me at 44 she's still just a kid but is already so well rounded and grounded. She has a long promising career ahead of her.
@@DocDarkness oh ye I completely agree with everything you said there,I’m not ashamed to admit that she comes across as being a lot more mature than me at 38 😂 I would also hate to ever see anyone take advantage of her….my dad used to say to me stop being good and understanding to everyone people are mostly bad in this world and many times people have been that way,anyway I hope and wish nothing but the best for this talented young lady,very excited to see where her career will take her ❤️
In my book, they're NOT fans. They are fake.
Jenna opening up about social media, being vulnerable and choking up was so moving ❤️ You can really see she’s a true, genuine person and Elle Fanning‘s right; it’s so courageous of her to open up about her feelings, she comes across as really authentic. Truly an actor for the ages
Thats why Jenna is my favorite actor.
@@Linus-tz2tk forever and always ❤
@@Ava-dn3qi Always and forever ♥️
Yes, she's so sweet and honest always and I love that about her
Elle was so sweet and supportive of her ❤
It’s so refreshing to hear Elle saying that she watches her own work and has done a long time. Actors often give this big song and dance about not viewing their work but in some ways it is essential to do that. Regardless of what work you do you need to review and take stock. We all have to do that.
I feel like Elle Fanning's gonna become a big time producer, writer or director in the future. She has the passion for filmmaking
Elle just shines bright. Light bright energy. So genuinely nice. Seeing her bring a calmness and safe vibe to this conversation. Jenna opening up was so beautiful to see.
One of the best Actor on Actor segments ever made. Jenna Ortega and Elle Fanning gave a brutally honest, raw and heartfelt talk about the pitfalls and blessings of the industry that should be study by young actresses everywhere.
Elle hit the nail right on the head with her comment about the rise of the portrayal of "strong women". There's so much more value in exploring the flaws and cracks in one's character, and that complexity really comes through when she plays Catherine. Love Jenna too, both of them are amzing young actresses with so much more to show, excited to see whatever either of them does next!

Right,I love how anti-woke she is.She's real and strong without trying to be.You definetly can't put these women in a box.
@@russellmarsden6316 she's not "anti-woke". Stop trying to make Jenna the face of your ideology when so far she has never said a single thing that was conservative. She's a free, liberal/left-leaning woman who is not one-dimensional and she wants women to be portrayed as such in movies as well. We don't have to be either the eye candy or the strong woman in a movie. Women deserve to have complex characters on screen.
Elle supports Jenna so much it's crazy! She is only 25 yet she has been so talented since she was a child. She literally has such a pure angelic soul. I love this duo, it looks like that of the older and younger sister
elle's energy is so disarming, jenna looks so comfortable in this interview. its lovely to see

Elle is that one friend that’s always the best to talk to
For real. I need an Elle fanning in my life
This conversation is so important, especially the ugliness of social media and artists having to have a big audience to get professional opportunities. They literally throw them to the slaughter, unprepared to cope with having people critique your every word and picture. I really hope Jenna can find a way to protect herself against the haters and people twisting everything about her. Like Elle said, it’s not reality, but I get how it can feel like it when it’s coming at you from thousands of people 24/7. We need to be better to people online. We are all human. Artists don’t owe us anything. They are allowed to be private and protect themselves. Celebrity magazines and news outlets should fucking do better too, and we should hold them accountable. Spread love guys

F bombs are ugly.
It's a testament to Jenna's maturity that she's already on board as a producer for her show. That's so incredible, even though she is already driving much of the success of the show. Hopefully they continue to look after and foster her career
Jenna was so real for that. It really broke my heart seeing her crying.
She is a narcissist actress
@@vivekkumar-iy5ve how ?
@@vivekkumar-iy5ve how the hell is she narcissistic? Give me one good reason on how she is narcissistic. Just because you’re miserable doesn’t mean you have to make everyone else miserable. If you don’t like her, then fucking move on with you’re life and stop commenting rude things about her.
@@vivekkumar-iy5ve why?
@@vivekkumar-iy5ve???
Everyone’s chanting Jenna’s name but omg never knew Elle was such a delight! What a breath of fresh air! Seemingly one of the very few celebs with a personality of her own. Keep it up girl. Also wow so stunning to look at!
I fell in love with her since maleficent, she's so ethereal but also sweet and warm
Ikr? i'm actually here because of Elle.
She always seems to humble and like genuinely nice
@@Kaybye555 Yeah, she's so humble she think it's "weird" and "strange" when people don't recognize her. Literally born into a world of fame. I wouldn't count on her being all that humble when there are no rolling cameras. These are just people like you and me.
ELLe and Dakota are both such amazing people it's why I love them both they been in the industry for a long time now but always remain humble, kind and well together
i love seeing celebrities be vulnerable about what they truly care about. seeing jenna cry about struggling to be seen as this authentic person (which i think she already was super authentic and true to herself) holds so much power. Its so cool seeing elle and her get to meet and discuss all things acting, producing, navigating personal life, etc. i loved this so much.
JENNA Xsan you 🍑💥💥🖐🍑

What an amazing conversation! Amazing chemistry, Elle is so outspoken and intelligent and so is Jenna, I almost feel like they have a mentor- pupil way , but simultaneously a relationship of equals. Amazing dynamic.
I started crying when Jenna did, she's so amazing and passionate about what she talks about, its amazing to see❤
at what timestamp did she cry
@@cestlaviexx 36:25
Yeah, I made me cry for a little bit too not gonna lie
Yeah, that got me ngl
If I could give jenna a hug then I would
jenna and elle are two of the most talented actresses of this generation.
It's refreshing for a young actress to express uninhibitedly how they're fine with watching themself without a trace of arrogance. I understand Elle comes from immense priveledge, but I still find it deeply inspiring. I also, love Jenna's thoughtful responses. These two are great.
Elle's last scene in 'the Great', blew me away. She is just so raw and fearless in the scene as far as acting and the whole heart breaking turn in the character was brilliant. Jenna is natural and I feel like when she finally broke down in 'Wednesday' and was able to feel it was a powerful moment. well done, to both women.
Seeing Jenna cry hurts so much. She's an amazing person and definitely doesn't deserve all the hate she's getting
so true
why jenna cried i didn't understand and why did she receive such insults? I'm a fan of her I love her
@@constanceclt bunch of people shamed her for smoking
@@devatap Exactly. Like, seriously... Trying to shame her for being a human being? I know a thing called "Complaining", but wow... They were whining hard.
You will get hate if you a doing very good so many people are jealous of her hope she overcome this hurdles
Elle is so sweet and you can see she felt so bad for Jenna
I'm so impressed by Jenna Ortega. She is so eloquent and grounded at such a young age.
This is most comfortable conversation in "Actors on actors". From Jenna and Elle comes such a kind vibe🧡 And the topics that Jenna touched on at the end are very important and really require a lot of discussion
I have a feeling that casting directors might consider these two individuals for a film. They give off a great friendly vibe, and I would be thrilled to see them collaborate on a movie project.
Jenna and Elle look so comfortable around each other. This is comforting to see, especially since the release of Wednesday Jenna has been so tired and stressed, this felt like watching her chat with a fried
They are both very aware of the other one and great listeners (not interrupting each other) and following up on what the other one has shared. This way of holding yourself in a conversation makes it easy for the other one to settle in and feel comfortable. Both of them also meet so many people with their work, so they are used to talking to people they don’t know (they mentioned that they had never met before). They are both young, but still not your average person around their ages (many around 18-25 yrs. of age can still be a bit shy and awkward around new people and in a conversation).
Seeing Jenna cry I felt like a protective father or brother over her and I just wanted to give her a hug.
I hope this grows into a beautiful friendship. How amazing would it be to see them on each other's shows?! These women got me cryin' 😭❤️
Jenna really opened up in this interview. She is the kindest young intrapreneur out there. She's a real inspiration.

I find it very interesting when Elle mentions about 'strong female leads' which is something that Hollywood has gotten so wrong for so long. The irony is both Jenna and Elle are perfect examples of what a strong female lead actually is. With them its not forced and it's not fake its just genuine with passion put behind it. Love them both and I hope that they continue to have the success they so deserve. I'd love to see them work together someday.
Yup!
This pairing is ONCE AGAIN perfection.
Jenna getting emotional about social media is heartbreaking. I hate that it's been so cruel to her
why jenna cried i didn't understand and why did she receive such insults? I'm a fan of her I love her
@Constance Collet people were mad because she said she refused to say certain lines so they called her an entitled actress (even though this improved Wednesday). She said she hadn't watched euphoria, they were mad. She was seen smoking a cigarette and having a glass of wine in London, they were mad. No real reasons.
@@dabunnydabunny1243 "Willing to give her some grace"??!! It is people like you that are responsible for her feeling the way she does. You have no saying on her life, or what she does or who she hangs with. You all forget at the end of the day she is human. She is entitle to her personal life without having assholes having an opinion on every little thing she does. You have no right to give her "grace" over NOTHING cause you are absolutely NO ONE in her life.
@@isaochy4197 Right. An actress being a Human outside of her role = people getting mad. REALLY STUPID people who don't give a flying fuck about context or the Human condition. That pedestal they put her on really sucks.
@@isaochy4197ugh some people just love to hate on public figures, especially the ones new to the industry. It’s disgusting
elle fanning has always been a tremendous actress and she's been working for a decade but she's not appreciated enough like any other actresses working today. i'm glad the great gave her the opportunity to showcased what she can really do and it proved we shouldn't sleep on her talent. her comedic timing was just impeccable for a first time doing comedy and she was also able to hit those heavy emotional scenes which she never fails to deliver, she is actually insane for this. if you haven't watched the great, you should give it a try, she is pefect as catherine and she better win all the awards this year.
I’m starting to wonder if you’re her mom
It's because she simply can't carry a film. She seems out of place in movies (like malificent) she can't hold her own against actresses like Angelina Jolie. Perfect for television. Not for movies.
@@datatsushi2016 last 2 seasons of the Great would’ve been hella better if she practiced her accent
Two decades. Since she was 3 in I am sam
@@bukolaalale8260 That was Dakota not Elle.
This conversation was so genuine and supportive! Both actresses are amazing and I hope a friendship can grow from this, because it’s a relentless industry! I love them both
I don't think I've ever seen Jenna so comfortable in an interview if you can really call it that, Elle definitely gives off big sister vibes, definitely takes after Dakota a little bit and she was very supportive and kind when Jenna started crying. I really hope Jenna doesn't feel the need to change who she is because she's already amazing, she's so real, it's like she's an everyday girl dealing with Hollywood bs
Protect these young women at all costs!! This was such a genuine conversation and I can't wait to see what they do in the future.
These two should be in a movie together
Or a TV series, and/or in a theatre production!
Would love to see a remake of Practical Magic or something similar with these 2
Thank you Variety for giving Jenna the chance to tell her side of the story ❤ its rare to see people and especially celebrities so determined to remain authentic despite the challenges. Sending everyone virtual hugs 🫂
It was heartwarming to see. There is something touching about listening to a young woman like Jenna, who portrays scripted lives for living, speak so candidly about her desire and struggle to remain her authentic self.. that is such a mature and wise outlook on life. I love her even more. Ella is simply poise and delightful. This was one of my favorite pairings by Actors/Actors 😊❤
I wish we could have heard a little more from Elle. It felt kind of like Elle was interviewing Jenna. She's so kind, and so well spoken.
Elle seems so kind and sweet especially when Jenna got emotional, she was so supportive and I love people like that who are actively looking to support people in conversation ❤️
Elle Fanning is incredible in "The Great" a real tour de force of acting!
Not everybody realize that popular people are still humans u hate them or love them they still gotta have their own life.
I was really moved by Jenna's vulnerability here. When she started crying i teared up. Really hope that kind of honesty becomes more prevalent. Love this conversation ❤
Elle is so expressive and extroverted. loved their interaction. can't wait to see their future works.
Yeah I don't know much of her. I wouldve guessed that she would be rather soft-spoken and gentle - she's definitely still elegant but she still manages to fill the room.
Yes,and considering they never met before!
Elle is just the sweetest.
I LOVE THEM BOTH SO MUCH Also Elle needs SO much more recognition!!! She’s amazing!!
Whenever jenna Ortega is on it is extremely hard to take your eyes off the screen she is so dam captivating 😊
I was looking forward to this so much because of Jenna, but let me say before I even begin that Elle herself is just brilliant and so down to earth....these two really compliment each other so well and how they bounce off each other just seems so natural and it's kind of crazy that this is like how they officially met and had an actual conversation. I love how much they pay attention to each other when the other speaks and you can just see that they will 100% be friends after this I feel they have so much in common and they can help each other in so many different ways more than anything else...love this!!! I forgot to add the raw emotions Jenna showed when she was talking about social media...bruh that hurt to see for real, I hope she just feels better in the long run
I clicked on this video to see Jenna BUT I want to say that Elle is a pleasant surprise! I knew her before but I could not even imagine that she is such a wonderful, kind and understanding person!
Elle Fanning is an o.g. at this point, an amazing career! And Jenna is the new girl in class (her HBO MAX FIM, awesome). Their humility and integrity is SO needed 👏🏾 👍🏾❤️
The beat where it turned from a conversation for variety and for the audience to one between the two of them was beautiful to watch
Seeing Jenna getting emotional made me cry cause what she said was so true about social media and how toxic it is. Celebrities really can’t speak out about anything cause people do twist there words and it’s so sad to see that. It honestly makes me sick and she doesn’t even deserve to get the hate that she gets when she’s so honest and nice. It’s horrible and I feel so bad, it hurts to see her so sad.
why jenna cried i didn't understand and why did she receive such insults? I'm a fan of her I love her
@@constanceclt she’s been receiving hate comments on her Instagram for stupid stuff. When she was at a birthday party that Percy was also at she was getting death threats and people were hoping she got r*ped and other horrible things. When she was smoking some people were just making a big deal out of it. Some people also just hate her because they think she’s narcissistic, pick me girl, or a try hard which isn’t true. I think that’s why she was mostly crying because she started getting more hate after Wednesday.

37:04 the way Jenna says "Fetus" warms my heart 😊 despite the tears she's still able to smile through it all and i love her for that. Wish her nothing but the best ❤ (and shout out to Elle for being so understanding, and allowing Jenna to completely express herself. You could tell it was a comfortable setting and i loved seeing how they both interacted with one another. Such a great interview ❤
JENNA Xsan has a good relationship
JENNA Xsan has been very helpful for
JENNA zenay is an avid
I’ve been saying this over and over but I don’t think I’ve ever felt this way about a “celebrity” or an “actor/actress” before. But Jenna Ortega is so REAL. That moment at 35:24 and on is so damn authentic. I’ve literally thought the same thing she expressed here for years now. It’s crazy to see it put into words though. 🙏🏿
@@tiannitvoyce Yeah, that’s pretty much how I feel about her too. She’s just raw and relatable with what she says. The first interview I saw with her, I found myself noticing how different her mannerisms and opinions were compared to her co-stars. I was so impressed I even thought it was a fluke at first. Then I watched another interview, then another, then another, and her conviction, confidence and intelligence stayed consistent. She’s a breath of fresh air in Hollywood. Oh yeah, good luck to you in your future endeavors as well. 👍🏿
" I have this really really intense urge to be human and honest..." Jenna, thats because you're MEANT to be those things. Preach!
Not only are these two talented actors, they are talented conversationalists. The active listening, vulnerable shares, and always asking how the other feels... it's a beautiful thing to witness!!!!
One of the things I’ll always love about Jenna is she will always tell the truth which she deserves so much respect instead of getting hate
fr
Same here,I hate seeing her cry
I now need to see these two in a movie together ASAP. The powerhouse duo I never knew I needed.
Elle Fanning is amazing and her career is even more amazing. I applaud her for being hands on as a producer on the Great which is FANTASTIC. Definitely my favorite show.
*LOVE THE NEON DEMON. SO GLAD SHE MENTIONED IT*
it's one of my favorite films
Saw it with my best friend when we were 18.
INCREDIBLE movie!
Omg that movie traumatized me
@@adoptedbyangelinajolie why!?
Massive respect for Jenna being open and honest. The fans will get an idea on what she goes through and they'll be more respective. Jenna is such a wonderful and humble person and its sad to see her cry :(
They have such a chemistry, I didn’t know I needed to see them talking like this. I hope to see them working together someday.
Jenna's sweetness is disarming, when she gets emotional I would want to hug her 🥹🧡
I will never not smile when I see Elle laughing. What a precious human being.
Elle has been one of my favorite actresses for a very long time, I can't believe how humble she is in this interview! And Jenna is so so so sweet answering questions and then asking Elle to make her feel involved, I just love their personalities.
Elle is so sweet and kind, she’s interviewing Jenna most of the time
The hug ! I had never seen one on actors on actors. So sweet❤
It hurts my heart to see a kind hearted person like Jenna to cry it honestly hurts and some people are just making it harder on her by hating her.
I think Jenna needs like a friend in Elle to know she is feels acknowledged but Jenna is just so pure and I sense relatability with being vulnerable and knowing you have full support from friends and family who don't judged you based on rumors or lies.
Dakota or Elle?
@@BlakeStylinson elle thank you lol I just noticed the wrong girl
I just wanna give her a big hug. She deserves so much better.
How is this video not getting more attention??!?!? Thank you very much for this interview, very insightful. Love both of their work ❤
I saw them on the THR Roundtable yesterday and now I’m happy to see this interview 👏🏽
same here! loved both videos
Such a sweet moment. I hope both these young ladies continue to thrive and bring the world their incredible talent for as long as they feel possible
Jenna is so cute
Elle is a great listener. That was a really nice conversation that I felt Jenna needed.
Elle deserves so much more recognition than she gets, but this was such a great interview. My heart goes out to Jenna and her struggles with social media, it’s definitely not for everyone and that’s okay. The world can be a fucked up and dark place, but also a lot of people have big talk behind a screen. I genuinely hope Elle and Jenna become best friends and eventually work on some projects together 💛 I would love to see Elle in a Scream film!!
Elle fanning literally real life Princess 😍
I can’t believe it took me six whole months to watch this, because I absolutely love and adore the work these two have done for years now! They seem like such incredible women, and I love how much they lift each other up through kindness, honesty and their humanity. Everything is tough in the public eye and online, but I cannot imagine the pressure they get with the platform they have - if anything it makes me deeply respect them on such an intense deeper level and I wish them nothing but goodness in their futures.
This was such a fun pair! Love getting to see conversations! For this long time length it’s amazing to get to see actors like this makes them truly seam real and not scripted!
