i seriously think jenna will be an a-list, oscar-nominated actress by the time the decade is over. she’s something special and real.
You have 14 years old?
i hope my wife don’t sell her soul , it’s too precious
ok sure...
I disagree....I don't think she'll be remembered in 10 years. I dont think she belongs in Scream, and I think her version of Wednesday is terrible.....yea I said it 😜
@@brandonguindon1056 wow you're so cool😜
i love how she actually explains questions and doesn't just give a one word answer
thats better
I was gonna say this. Usually other actors explain just a couple of questions extensively, but she made that with pretty much every question, which is pretty cool
yes
frl frl
exactlyyy
It's intimidating how well spoken, authentic and knowledgeable she is.
Is that really Jenna Ortega i’m her biggest fan. I love how you do it all the stuff in theWednesday movie
Why are you intimidated by a person who can talk in full sentences? Lmao
lets play billiard american
@@Beaver_Monday because the modern world of social media would have me believe everyone around me are vacuous idiots. It's a deception I know. But probably half true.
She's 20 It would be more concerning if she wasn't
She’s so talkative sometimes celebrities on this interview give very short mysterious answers , she’s just an open book I love it :) she’s soo good on Wednesday, this woman has a bright future ahead !
Jenna usually plays extreme characters but she is just so calm and chill
@xeno fr
@xeno fr
Yeah? I just literally checked if I have my playbackspeed spead up, but appearently she just speaks that fast. And I mean literally, not figuratively.
@xeno she is puerto rican after all
@xeno fr
she's so easy to listen to. i can feel myself wanting to nod at my screen when she makes a good point
You know whose also easy to listen to, Jesus Christ
@@teamhop he ded
@@miguelbarreiros5564 nope He is alive and well, and He is seated at the right hand side of God
@@teamhop 🤘🏽
I do xD
Jenna is genuinely so straight up and serious, I just love her.
This girl is talented AF. I can see her becoming a household name in the near future. Her performance in Wednesday was * chef's kiss * .
I remember Seeing her And Olivia In Disney And At some Point they Were In The Same show, But little Did I know that Olivia Would Be a famous Singer And Jenna A Famous Actor Also I've Been Simping For Jenna Since 2016-💀
watched the WHOLE series like an hour ago I agree
Her deadpan delivery takes no talent at all
@@PwkKelly stuck in the middle
@@49er16 with every good actor there has to be dumb haters smh
I adore her and the fact that she outright just states “I’m a very privileged Girl” was just the sweetest thing, she really is, seems very very down to earth and simply real.
First reply
everyone with a computer is privileged.

@@superjlk_9538 pretty people in general.
“I walk a lot. Maybe I’ll be on the street.” 😂😂😂
Jennas' level of insight and introspection at her age is highly respectable.
she's so well spoken i love listening her talk
She has a lot to say 😶
@@HShango well yea I mean this is a interview?🤡😂
Ehh
I could seriously listen to her talk for awhile, she’s very articulate and confident.
yea shes so well spoken for a mexican huh?
she's so chill and funny and has such a dgaf energy I LOVE HER 😭
No comments?? I’ll fix that
What is dgaf??
@@elizabethcarpenter696 it means dont-give-a-f*ck
True but why u crying ? lol
@@vgold4286 literally shut up
I like that Jenna’s answers and personality feel real and authentic, honestly really refreshing
Very believable and Beautiful 🎉.
I’ve watched this three times. The fact that she explains how she started, and everything else , is very nice. She’s such a dorky weirdo. She gives me peace.
I think Jenna was absolutely amazing as Wednesday and I loved the dance she coreographed
kzhead.infoXLWdNoGlPfk?feature=share
Sameee!
Yess! Same! The dance was just *chef’s kiss* and Wednesday is now my favorite series out of any I’ve ever binge watched
I mean.... She said she autopsied lizards in her backyard so.... That definitely screams Wednesday
@@jerryhaley8356 same😁
I love that she was honest when asked how she was doing. Not just a quick "good" or whatever but she really took the time to answer that question
A good interviewee takes questions that have the potential to be answered with mundane answers and makes the answer more than the bare minimum.
Jesus, we have set a really low bar for these celebrities.
@@hasselett right! Next time we're going to praise them for breathing😂😂
I read this right as she was answering that question lol
@@hasselett honestly, celebrities have set the bar really low for themselves over the last few years🥴 Either way this girl is great no matter where the bar is!
Ok but can we all agree that Jenna deserves everything
No
She's got star quality, beauty, intelligenct and seems to hold her ground with things for an early age in a big industry world and has morals. Good role model for her peers. I hope she stick's to roles she wants and that will boost her career.
She said she was 6'4" so casually, it was believable. She's got a life-long, award-winning career ahead of her.
Came to the comments because I was so dumb struck when she said that! 😂 I was like “NO SHE IS NOT! I DONT BELIEVE IT!”
@@thewarriorreturns9179 how
Lol no she’s a foot shorter then the other actors in Wednesdays
@@thewarriorreturns9179 gross
@@thewarriorreturns9179 that’s disgusting bruh
She seems like such a wonderful person you could talk to about anything
Jenna Ortega was amazing in Wednesday, super excited for season 2 👏👏👏👏
Obviously she didn't do all of these projects in one year, but she had a very prolific year filled with great stuff! Scream, X, The Fallout, Wednesday...
Yes she has done sm and she’s still so young
The Fallout was painful but amazing and I wish she had gotten nominations for it. Very smart, well spoken, seems very down to earth.
She was in You on Netflix
wait she was in scream?
@@snappy4952 the new one
She's the newest it-girl. She's just effortlessly cool and genuine.

I loved that you genuinley answered with directing animals. Honestly, I think there was bravery with this response and I whole heartedly condone and respect you for giving this gift of information to your internet audience. I'm 30, but I remember when I was 15 being really interested in becoming a mortician- like human circulatory systems were the essence of a biomechanical human engine. You're great- me and my mom love you! Also you really got me into The Cramps!
Love this interview. Jenna seems so kind and talkative, I love the answers she gives 😊😊
She was so convincing in her role as Wednesday. One of the best acting jobs I’ve seen in awhile. I’d be shocked if she doesn’t clean up in awards next year
Agreed she was so perfectly cast
While she is a good actor and all, i think the actor awards next year definitely need to go to better call saul
@@flamingbanana5831 better call Saul is a dam good show i binged watched it over the course of 2 nights 😂
She was great playing Wednesday but I had to keep reminding myself that Wednesday is supposed to be about 16.
@@Wolfways I don't get it, why do u have to keep reminding yourself that?
I love the attention Jenna Ortega's getting for Wednesday. She should win the Emmy. She should already have an Oscar for The Fallout. She did get nominated for the 1/2-year Oscars for that role. She's a scene stealer in everything she's in. She's an amazing talent. Love the girl to death!
You're totally starstruck lmao. She's objectively mediocre. But it's okay to be a fan! :)
@@alexthor1115 she really not but okay
@@alexthor1115 Sounds like jealousy to me.
@@alexthor1115’objectively mediocre’ LOL
@@alexthor1115 quiet down mr. No talent :)
I love her little accent & the fact that she’s also a libra!!
You have to love this girls accent and personality. I mean, I'll never meet her in real life, I live in a small town in Ireland but if there was ever a more down to earth person, I've yet to meet them. Jenna comes across as an all rounder. She is a fantastic actress, very pretty, has great common sense but also, is just a wonderful young person. I wish you well in life Jenna. You're awesome, but don't lose yourself in acting.
Idk how to explain it but she's so well-spoken and you can see the thought behind every word she speaks, you can tell she's thoughtful, funny, and really smart. Jenna Ortega is so cool.
Why wouldn’t she be well spoken 🤔
Could compare her to other child stars ; most are not as intelligent
"Why wouldn’t she be well spoken?" Most people aren't.
I’m so glad November is over. This vid gonna make me 🎉
@@Actually_Woke_6277 yuck. Just because someone acknowledges someone as well spoken does not imply that they assumed that they would not be based on any other factor. She is well spoken and mature sounding for her age. Simple as that.
I could literally listen to her talk for hours and not be bored
Fr
💯
Real😭
Truly
righttt
She looks sooo down to earth and humble.. A great quality, especially for someone who reached fame so young and quickly ❤
I love her in Stuck in the middle and Wednesday.... Masterpieces
I love how calm she is. I hate when other celebrities always try to make themselves seem like the most happiest and excited people in the world.
I do that and it’s so that people will perceive me as that rather than “depressed” I’ve had friends tell me I need to stop being so “sad.” Celebrities are in the spotlight, people don’t just do things to do them so maybe think a little bit next time. Most likely it’s to hide stuff, there’s always a good explanation to human behaviors and outright judging it is not only not fair but perpetuating hate.
What if that’s just really how they are 💀
@@dylangriffin5514 still, it tends to be really obnoxious to me to always hear celebrities putting up their overly-excited act and raising their pitch three octabes. it's just a pet peeve of mine. I was depressed too for about 5 years and sometimes still struggle with it but it stills tends to be something that annoys me.
@@migueljmartinez1108 i can guarentee you it is not
@@beautyandgrace6288 If they’re naturally like that and it still bothers you, that’s not their fault.
2022 really has been her year. So happy she's getting more recognition and can't wait to see her career flourish in years to come
yesss i remember i used to watch her on disney channel so every time i see her in something new i feel so proud of her bc its hard for disney channel stars (especially the newer ones) to actually make it big
I’m so glad November is over this vid gonna make me 🎉
@@thewarriorreturns9179 I know ,she's attractive
You did amazing Jenna in Wednesday Addams. I hope you can keep continuing Wednesday Addams. You are amazing!!!
love the way she talks, so calm n chill.
As someone the same age as her, I can’t imagine gaining such fame so quickly. She handles the interviews very well.

Don’t forget star wars, theres force choking and a palpatine looking corpse
I used to watch you as a kid lmao

Are you hating on her?

The role of Wednesday is absolutely perfect for her 👌 can’t wait for season 2

if anyone saw The Fallout then they know that it was one of the best movies of the last year and Jenna deserves endless praise for it 🥂
Absolute facts! Such an amazing job in that movie!

I think the entire cast of Wednesdays did a fantastic job. I'm really happy to see actors of my generation do such an amazing job. The writing of the series is top notch as well. 10/10
agreed, its interesting too when a franchise/series specifically concentrates on a specific character's life
Multiple Wednesdays. Ok.

@@alanmatkovic3221 Why?
@@alanmatkovic3221 how? They did really good

she breaks out into every character with so much fire in the eyes, and that's the reason why she's good at this job!
oh she's really genuine. It's also really telling that she remembers and mentions the names of those she's worked with.
Shut up

Currently watching Wednesday and I can't believe she's only 20 years old. She acts as if she has been doing it for decades. She already mastered every single role shes played with ease. Watching her career is going to be such a joy to witness.

Jenna Ortega is a magnificent actress. The fact that she’s bound to portray Wednesday Addams makes the whole experience far better than we will ever realize. She seems very well spoken and intelligent. We all hope she pursues more acting opportunities. She has what it takes to become the next ‘Scream Queen’ of this generation.
