Jenna Ortega, star of Netflix’s comedy horror “Wednesday” has at all times been a “weirdo.”
The 20-year-old actress revealed during Wired’s Autocomplete Interview series on YouTube that she and “Dance Mothers” alum Maddie Ziegler, also 20, built their bond on their uniqueness.
“She’s considered one of my best friends ever,” Ortega said. “She was any individual that I immediately clicked with. We did a movie called ‘The Fallout’ a pair years back, and I feel like Maddie and I are the identical person in several fonts.
“She’s such a weirdo and I’m a weirdo in the best way I used to perform autopsies on little animals once I was younger,” she continued. “Little lizards that I discovered that were dead in my backyard. She’s a weirdo within the sense that she breaks out into characters or movements or makes faces. Her comedic timing is so underappreciated. She makes me laugh. We’ve got an excellent time. We’re really weird together.”
Ortega has admitted that she generally is a bit wacky. During an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” the “You” actress recalled her experience with Christina Ricci — who played Wednesday Addams within the 1991 movie “The Addams Family” and its 1993 sequel — on the brand new series.
“I feel like I personally made it slightly weird. She was really sweet about it. Me? It was one of the awkward experiences I’ve ever had,” Ortega said. “I feel, socially, I might be sort of hard to speak with at times. And sometimes I might say something as a joke, and I feel I actually have a really dark humorousness, and he or she would go, ‘Uh, that’s dark.’ “
“Wednesday” — also starring Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Fred Armisen and Isaac Ordonez — is now streaming on Netflix.
