Jenna Ortega: Feel “incredibly misunderstood”
Jenna Ortega thinks that people make too many guesses about them that are also wrong. “I almost don’t feel addressed anymore,” she says.
US actress Jenna Ortega says that the public has a completely wrong picture of her. “I think this is part of my problem with this side of the job, because you feel incredibly misunderstood,” said the 22-year-old “Wednesday” actress in a joint interview with director Tim Burton the US magazine “The Hollywood Reporter”. When asked whether the picture of the public is correct in her eyes, she said: “Not at all.”
Ortega stated: “It is almost so far that you have the feeling that your own name is not one of them. I hardly feel anymore.” She “hate conjectures” – and a large part of her job as an actress is “that people will make conjectures about you”.
Burton said that he missed “the time of secrets” when you didn’t know everything about the actors “. Ortega added: “And people feel entitled to find out these parts of your life where they would not feel nearly as comfortable if they were put under the same microscope.”
Burton and Ortega made the hit series “Wednesday” and the film “Beetlejuice 2”, the continuation of the 1988 cult comedy of the same name. This week the streaming provider Netflix announced a third “Wednesday” season.
