I think i was nervous cuz i have seen the netflix preview of Wednesday multiple times and was waiting for something good to come on netflix for a while. i have seen her before in Netflix You s2. Also another great series. She did well and kimmel was right choice over fallon.
I love Jenna's sense of humour, all her jokes are subtle but really funny, like when she says "I don't really dip things, I fully submerge" you can tell she's being funny just a little. And she delivers all her jokes with what appears to be full truthfulness xD
@@GypsyChlo I was waiting for someone to comment that!!! Yeah she never says it 3:15, her jokes all kind of end before actually reaching the punch line which is really funny.
@@Tetrathegod did u finish the whole show? cause if u did, that means you found her acting not cringe and you were entertained by it. if u didn’t like her acting, you wouldn’t finish the show
All celebs have media training - it's not some nefarious brainwashing thing lol. It's basically just going over what to avoid talking about in interviews, how to interact on social media, how to walk a red carpet, how to deal with paps, etc. If people are finding her or other celebs as "not media trained", then their teams needs to get a raise because that's pretty much the ultimate goal for a client - have them media trained, but have people go out of their way to compliment them on how they're not media trained lol. It's almost the same way people like to think Aubrey Plaza has no media training lmao. Her media training is to just stay weird/funny/awkward in interviews because that's her brand that sells, with notes on what topics to avoid and maybe what constitutes as "too far".
I love watching her in interviews because you can tell that Hollywood hasn't ruined her yet. She's still down to earth and almost shy at times, unlike other Hollywood stars and starlets who are almost robotic in tone. She's what Hollywood needs, spontaneity.
Hollywood hasn't ruined her yet? As soon as she entered the industry she had already made a pact with the devil and sold their souls. Don't know why y'all continue to praise celebrities
Y'all better keep an eye on her for the next 10 to 20 years. She's gonna rule Hollywood someday especially in the horror genre. One of the most promising young actress working today
Hollywood does have a creepy obsession with female youth. So this would be expected. What Id like to see is stories about women in their 40s-50s who aren’t moms. That would be different. Getting tired of the grooming process and teen obsession. It’s creepy. It’s why most men think we die off after 35. It’s the same in music. The best musicians are women in their 40s -50s, but everyone is obsessed is what teens and creepy dudes like.
@@JDMimeTHEFIRST kind of disagree,first of all name me some big Teen singers or actresses right know.These great striving young actress,are picking smart projects and showing off there skills,it's much different today,Jessica Simpson, Brittany tried the acting game and failed.Selena Gomez,Amanda Seyfried,Anya Taylor Joy,these ladies are extremely successful in both,and there are many others in early mid twenties,they are not teenagers
@@adrianvladmladin1005 Any genre rules Hollywood, superhero and horror especially, the two biggest thing in Hollywood right now because the audience is massive
She’s being 100% honest about no one caring about her acting at school lol! I went to middle school with her and she would hang out with only 2 girls pretty much n people knew she was an actress but as she said I think no one thought she’d be as big as she is now, I’m proud of her tho she deserves it!!
It's amazing that at a young age of 20 she already landed a great Netflix show with the greatest director most wantto work with! Tim Burton as her first big show is incredible

A bit like Aubrey ... Aubreys interviews are something else .... I just wondered if there was like an elder sister or an older version of Wednesday that would have to be Aubrey ....
It’s rare that a young actor/actress breaks out onto the scene and the majority of ppl like you immediately. Only those with talent, charisma, charm, and work ethic last in the spotlight. Jenna Ortega is one of those future stars with a career that will last because she only gets better with each project. From You, to Scream, X, and now Addams Family, this kid is going places. 💯
I loved the archery scene.. "have you done archery, yeah only on live targets" lol such dry serious humour Jenna is a quality actress and I can't wait to see more of wednesday.
Yo, that's mind blowing! Shout out to her mom. Full-time ER nurse that is willing to make 6-7 hour round trip drives to take one of her six children to audition for stuff. That is support!
That was a really great first late night. He kind of rushed through parts and interjected, but she did a great job moving things along and responding genuinely. Really enjoyed her as Wednesday. The casting was great
I pray she gets good managers - I don't think it will take long for her to clock every award going, and multiple times so. Very genuine, and I get the impression she is very, very smart (dark humour is a good indicator). She's already a star - there will be much more.
From this interview I can tell why Jenna was chosen to be Wednesday Addams. No better choice in my opinion. She’s relatable, has inner qualities and struggles that relates to Wednesday and to the audience. That’s why all The Addams Family films are classics, because even though they are all “out there characters”, “strange” and “mysterious”... there’s inner struggles that we all can relate to. Like wanting to put Piranhas in a pool... where your Brother’s worst enemy happens to be in. 👀😂 or being allergic to vivid colours. 🖤
Christina Ricci is a tough act to follow for Wednesday Addams. I think the fact that EVERYBODY is excited to see Jenna take on the role shows they cast EXACTLY the right person :)
She was chosen because she is Mexican, and no other reason, just like every other film being ruined with identity politics. Don't kid yourself as to why she was hired. Admit the situation that we are in, as there would be more dignity in that.
@@Valkonnen This is the only reason available to you due to your beliefs about the world you are in. That's a little sad, to be honest. It will seem utterly real to you and irrefutable.
@@misteral1083 No, it's based on careful observation of an industry that I have worked in for over 35 years. I of all people am not limited by a lack of information. I have personally seen pressure put on Productions to basically, diversify or be cancelled. You can't be so dishonest that you pretend not to see this very real situation that ALL Studios have t deal with. It's not Art anymore. I'm deep within it, so I would know much better than you. The fact is that you can see it too, but aren't willing to admit that. That's what's "Sad".
@@Valkonnen No no, I see the push for diversification - and in some areas, it's not a new thing. Children's TV and films have, for a long while now, tended to be more obviously diverse than media aimed at adults (I'm generalising) And I don't doubt that some productions are pressured into it. I see it when it's ham-fisted!! But to say that in this case, the only reason she was cast is because she's Mexican, I think ignores all the other qualities that make her such a good fit for the role. To be completely honest, I think it also ignores a lot of marketing forces which also make her a good choice from a business point of view. Does what you're describing happen? Yes, I have no doubt and see evidence of it. Is that the only explanation for Jenna Ortega being cast as Wednesday Addams? I do not think it is.
She's super mature and composes herself so well for a 20 year old movie star. I doubt she'd call herself a star, but she's a rising one at the very least.
I grew up with her on Disney, we're both the same age and it's just amazing to see how she's grown as an actress, and how her opportunities are getting bigger. Looking forward to seeing her act along side big names
Jenna's so young in her career and she's already navigated it so well. Plus she's staying grounded through it. Respectful, humble, witty, down to earth. And the use of her platform for constant human rights advocacy. All at 20yo.
From when I saw her on “You” my husband and I felt like she was gonna be huge. It’s been a while since there’s been a truly great actress especially from this newer generation. Most are from older generations. I think there’s a lot more untapped potential in her and truly eager to see how her career plays out. I love seeing her on my screen and love that latina representation that does not put us in a stereotype
She is adorable and sincere and herself. There is no star personality with her. Hope she stays that way after being famous. Love Wednesday and can't recommend it enough to everyone.
Loved her in the Wednesday series, but let's put the word icon back in the holster there buddy... you might need to look up what Thai means before you pull it back out.
She such a in depth person I feel like jimmy missed an opportunity to pick at her brain on how playing the role really affected her .Wednesday is just the darker version of her 🎉amazing I can’t wait to see more from her . She truly going to be an icon
With all due respect, we don’t know how she actually is or whether she is truly the Wednesday character or not. We would have to personally know her in order to affirm such a thing, so we shouldn’t act like we are best friends with celebrities.
I agree. He had a golden opportunity to showcase this woman’s mind, reveal the processes she has, what she thought to bring to the role, and how she came to those decisions. Her performance in the series is Award winning.
I just adore how she gave her mom so much credit - you could tell she admires her mother. I think she is humble, amazingly talented, and absolutely gorgeous! I wish her much success💗
Jenna Ortega literally started her career from the bottom and climbed through the whole ranks and obstacles one by one, year by year. She's also very mature for her age, even years before now and we saw her tackle interviews with humility and authenticity. I'm years older than her and yet I respect her a lot for these sole reasons. Also... Why was 25% of this interview suddenly about dipping sauce???
I was blown away by her performance as Wednesday, and now I am impressed by her poise and character as a person. I look forward to seeing her work for decades to come.
But if only Latinos would represent themselves more professional, and in her case be more proper, instead of saying "yeah" how about "yes"...she's cute but you can tell she had that street slang.
@@tatiyanaperez5888 really? I never felt like she sounded "street," just casual. Plenty of people seem to keep it pretty casual on Jimmy Kimmel, I never felt like it was supposed to have a serious or "proper" vibe but idk maybe that's just me
She’s awesome, clearly her mom did a great job. Interesting how she has a bunch of siblings like in her old show. Hope she stays cool like this, and give young girls a good roll model. Great interview
Hollywood needs more Jenna's. Here's hoping she isn't poorly influenced by producers or agents to be something she isn't. She's a pint-sized dynamo. Energetic but at the same time well grounded. She is one child star who seemed to benefit from that experience as far as timing and acting ability. She should be still starring in things long after I'm gone from this earth.
Thanks Jenna's mom for doing all that driving for her , with 5 more children ! Jenna looks like a very nice and sweet young lady with a future ahead of her ❤️
Can’t believe she’s 20 years old! Seems like just last week she was a little baby on Disney Channel! Now on her first late night show. So happy for her. It feels like a proud mom moment! Lol
The future is looking BRIGHT!!! She’s beautiful, original, and spunky in her own way. She’s just being herself not trying to impress anyone and we love her for that. Seeing her is literally a breath of fresh air. Tired of seeing copy and paste celebrities that are fake. Can’t wait to see more of her on screen. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wow she is so intelligent. She is a great inspiration for young people. I hope she stays on the right track in Hollywood and has good people around her.
2000s and 2010s Disney drooped the ball... This generation, Jenna Ortega, Joshua Bassett, Olivia Rodrigo... Bravo Disney welcome back to making true Stars!
Honestly her first movie role was in the little rascal and then I remember her Disney sitcom stuck in the middle which I thought it was pretty cool. She also was in the TV Netflix series you, she was a part of the scream franchise and she's also returning to scream, she's definitely going to blow up I feel like she could be the female version of Denzel Washington
Welp, the show is out and it's great. Jenna's performance as Wednesday is probably the best part of it, she is incredibly talented and I wish her the best for the rest of her career
@@jstnxprsn Now I’m interested in if this is not a common experience 🤔 Perhaps similarly, I know some, including myself, also at times have felt inexplicable aggression in response to things that are extremely cute
@@ninjagamer1359 I could help you with that, although it could range from a mild annoyance to some deeper psychological issues, which I'm not sure you'd be comfortable discussing here in public.
It’s cool to see Selena, Zendaya, and Jenna all have their own super successful shows after they part ways with Disney. They’re all so talented and should be recognized as more than just former Disney child actors!
She comes across as so natural and spontaneous. Nowhere near her calculating and cold Wednesday Adams character demeanour. Shows how good an actor she is!
You can see that she is a little bit awkward but also ver sweet I didn't knew that cause I usted to watch her in her Disney show and she was very outgoing an extrovert in that one. I'm glad she is succeeding in the business, she did really good in Scream earlier this year.
i just love how none of you can write your own stories and have to take away white culture cause it is soo much better then yours and if i am wrong why are you not using your own culture...you are not northern european and all the stuff you are taking is from there ....what next snow white is brown.... if this pisses you off ...it is because eveything i said was true!!!! disney and hollywood are on their last legs and trying to take european culture down with it...thanks for causing even more racism by insulting the whites...which all wish you were and deny it all you want but i know it is the truth...otherwise why all the coloured contacts and white makeup and skin bleaching and all the other things you all do to fake it
I just binged the 8 chapters or episodes with my family and we love it. Great casting and great directing. Jenna is the perfect actress to portray Wednesday Addams. Her stone cold expression and dark sense of humor really are spot on. I can't wait to see more projects that she is involved in the future. Jenna has a bright future ahead of her. Bravo Tim Burton and all the staff that helped with the project.
Her career is about to blow up after her incredible performance in "Wednesday" The whole show and writing and cinematography is great, but she really carries it.
I was worried she'd mess up answering a question or getting awkward at any moment but that girl is a smart funny one and I just loved her answers and reactions and just her being herself. You go girl
@@fatimazohrabechlaghem7680I was trying to think of who Jenna reminds me of for the past week and when I read your comment - it's Aubrey! Thanks! Lol.
@@sofiaruiz-gomez4581 Especially at 01:20 when she does the shy head shake. Aubrey does that too which is weird, they look alike and have the same general vibe too lol
this truly sucks and all the latins just love how the cast culturally appropriated white culture as your own...now go lighten your skin and put in some light contacts and tell me you dont want to be a european...f off already...and stay the hell out of european culture...leave our stories alone and go write your own. or are you all unable to create your own stuff so you have to steal from white culture...i guess you not as good as white people cause you have to try to be them
You had a rising star to promote what it's probably gonna be the biggest show of the year, directed by one of the most influential director in the industry and you spent more than half of the interview asking about McDonald's and Disney prom. Good job Jimmy!
I thoroughly enjoyed the show. Great writing, sets but her acting was the standout. She conveyed so much range within a very restrictive character personality. The use of her eye movements, facial expressions and speaking tempo were absolutely brilliant.
Latina queen !! She so authentic doesn’t have to act white or anything I love her and if I would have grown up with her in the spotlight I wouldn’t feel bad about being Latina and talking the why we do and being the way we are! she is an inspiration to all latinas and the new generations
@@lahsouza3775 lmfao of cores her English is good she’s was born in the states but still can be Latina and represent and be an inspiration to latinas. It’s an insult to say your English is soo good to a person of color if u didn’t know
@@brendanevarez2024 where did i say otherwise tho? everyone has an accent even in their mother tongue, having it while speaking eng is completely normal, isn't embarassing or something. i'd never offend anyone for that, especially when i'm latina myself. and she can be white AND latina at the same time, latina isn't a race. But the way you wrote about her i thought she was like Sofia Vergara, Salma Hayek or something like that..
@@lahsouza3775 no she’s not native but I meant more like they way she speaks is more of how Mexican Americans speaks like chicanos speaks. And is so cool and doesn’t act all whitewashed

Any other celebrities that aren’t media trained and it’s obvious in interviews and shows because I barely see any besides Jenna.
Keanu Reeves is the only other person I can think of that is normal when you actually meet them. She seems like it would be that way.
If she stays humble and "not media trained" she probably won't be acting on big shows *nervermore*. That's how shitty the industry is....

I love her quirky and honest, totally unpretentious personality. Bless Jenna. She's so cute. xx
I love how often she talks about her Mom ❤️ You can tell she has amazing respect for her Mother
There’s some Aubrey Plaza awkwardness going on with Jenna, and I LOVE IT!!!
That’s true. I was trying to think who she’s got a similar vibes with. And they also have the same eyes, I think. They can play sisters easy. 😊
Plaza is Vapid.
Not really, she just seems like a really chill person
i noticed that too!
I thought the same thing lol
She's super mature and composes herself so well for a 20 year old movie star. I doubt she'd call herself a star, but she's a rising one at the very least.
She’s a riot. And her performance in the series is award winning.
I grew up with her on Disney, we're both the same age and it's just amazing to see how she's grown as an actress, and how her opportunities are getting bigger. Looking forward to seeing her act along side big names
What show was she on Disney ?
@@auroramothergoddess stuck in the middle
@@auroramothergoddess stuck in the middle
Similar to me!! She's a year older, but I loved her in Stuck in the Middle, and freaked out seeing her on "You"!
I fully believe in her success >w
I was born on the same planet as her
Jenna's so young in her career and she's already navigated it so well. Plus she's staying grounded through it. Respectful, humble, witty, down to earth.
And the use of her platform for constant human rights advocacy. All at 20yo.
From when I saw her on “You” my husband and I felt like she was gonna be huge. It’s been a while since there’s been a truly great actress especially from this newer generation. Most are from older generations. I think there’s a lot more untapped potential in her and truly eager to see how her career plays out. I love seeing her on my screen and love that latina representation that does not put us in a stereotype
She was outstanding. Honestly just incredible. That dance scene was iconic
She is adorable and sincere and herself. There is no star personality with her. Hope she stays that way after being famous. Love Wednesday and can't recommend it enough to everyone.
I love her sense of humour! It’s so dry and dark lol. She’s perfect for this role!
she’s an icon, she’s a really good actress and have a good career to come
😄 good on the eyes is about all
She is great, but you need to look up the word icon.
Loved her in the Wednesday series, but let's put the word icon back in the holster there buddy... you might need to look up what Thai means before you pull it back out.
lol icon?? =))))
icon?lol
PPL hype up every mid actor who gets a new netflix show 😅
5:14 is the best part of this interview and a general sense of gen Z humor 😭😭 💀💀💀💀
She such a in depth person I feel like jimmy missed an opportunity to pick at her brain on how playing the role really affected her .Wednesday is just the darker version of her 🎉amazing I can’t wait to see more from her . She truly going to be an icon
This was just a spot for people to get to know her not to delve into a show nobody had seen yet
Trevor would have done a better job
Sean Evans can probably pick her brain and THAT would be an epic interview.
With all due respect, we don’t know how she actually is or whether she is truly the Wednesday character or not. We would have to personally know her in order to affirm such a thing, so we shouldn’t act like we are best friends with celebrities.
I agree. He had a golden opportunity to showcase this woman’s mind, reveal the processes she has, what she thought to bring to the role, and how she came to those decisions. Her performance in the series is Award winning.
I just adore how she gave her mom so much credit - you could tell she admires her mother.
I think she is humble, amazingly talented, and absolutely gorgeous! I wish her much success💗
Jenna Ortega literally started her career from the bottom and climbed through the whole ranks and obstacles one by one, year by year. She's also very mature for her age, even years before now and we saw her tackle interviews with humility and authenticity.
I'm years older than her and yet I respect her a lot for these sole reasons.
Also... Why was 25% of this interview suddenly about dipping sauce???
I was blown away by her performance as Wednesday, and now I am impressed by her poise and character as a person. I look forward to seeing her work for decades to come.
She's a great actress. I'm very proud of Jenna after she left Disney Channel. She still keep herself working.
As a Latino from socal this makes me so proud. She seems cool af and she's such a great actor she totally deserves the spotlight
But if only Latinos would represent themselves more professional, and in her case be more proper, instead of saying "yeah" how about "yes"...she's cute but you can tell she had that street slang.
@@tatiyanaperez5888 what
@@tatiyanaperez5888 really? I never felt like she sounded "street," just casual. Plenty of people seem to keep it pretty casual on Jimmy Kimmel, I never felt like it was supposed to have a serious or "proper" vibe but idk maybe that's just me
@@tatiyanaperez5888 oh yeah? 🙄
Mature beyond her years and so charming. This kid is going to go far!!!
I liked her in Netflix YOU and knew she'd become a bigger star. Happy for her and hopefully Hollywood doesn't destroy her

Omg was that her she was the little sister in the LA apartment block..
Yes! Totally agree.
What do you mean "destroy"?
She’s awesome, clearly her mom did a great job. Interesting how she has a bunch of siblings like in her old show. Hope she stays cool like this, and give young girls a good roll model. Great interview
Who is her Mum ? 😊
@@IWas.ThereforeIAm.111 her mum is her mum duh 🙄
Hollywood needs more Jenna's. Here's hoping she isn't poorly influenced by producers or agents to be something she isn't. She's a pint-sized dynamo. Energetic but at the same time well grounded. She is one child star who seemed to benefit from that experience as far as timing and acting ability. She should be still starring in things long after I'm gone from this earth.
She killed the role for sure! Amazing performance.
Thanks Jenna's mom for doing all that driving for her , with 5 more children ! Jenna looks like a very nice and sweet young lady with a future ahead of her ❤️
Can’t believe she’s 20 years old! Seems like just last week she was a little baby on Disney Channel! Now on her first late night show. So happy for her. It feels like a proud mom moment! Lol
love her sm, such a cool person 😭
She mine don’t speak on wifey
What is sm? That’s a new one for me.
@@Orangeflava so much.
@@Carmelaines yes, she's mine
@@recreatio oh interesting. Is it that hard to type "so much"? Eventually comments will be nothing but acronyms, haha
This little lady is pure gold and such a great representation of the Latino community in Hollywood 👏🏼🥰 love her
The future is looking BRIGHT!!! She’s beautiful, original, and spunky in her own way. She’s just being herself not trying to impress anyone and we love her for that. Seeing her is literally a breath of fresh air. Tired of seeing copy and paste celebrities that are fake. Can’t wait to see more of her on screen. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Well said, hope she stays like this as she rises in Hollywood
I first saw her on YOU season 2.
Talk about vouching for someone you have never met in person...hahaha you are the problem
agree, she is adorable lol She is so tiny and her eyes are absolutely incredible. The show has really got my wife and I hooked, she is so good in it.
I Want Do Asset Manager, Asset Take Care, Audit Purpose , Accounts And Tax Manager I Do Work for you safe And Sacure
It might be because it's her very first late night show interview but she's really down to earth and it's pretty cool.
Give her time, Hollywood will degrade her and destroy her soul unfortunately.
@@TRISMUSIK are you apart of hollywood? i didn’t think so. jenna’s smart and i’m sure she’s not falling for hollywood antics
Wow she is so intelligent. She is a great inspiration for young people. I hope she stays on the right track in Hollywood and has good people around her.
really you are easily impressed
She's going to be HUGE. It's already happening.
Really huge
2000s and 2010s Disney drooped the ball... This generation, Jenna Ortega, Joshua Bassett, Olivia Rodrigo... Bravo Disney welcome back to making true Stars!
@@dannydark1452 It’s like the late 90s again 😂
Fr she’s the next it girl
Honestly her first movie role was in the little rascal and then I remember her Disney sitcom stuck in the middle which I thought it was pretty cool. She also was in the TV Netflix series you, she was a part of the scream franchise and she's also returning to scream, she's definitely going to blow up I feel like she could be the female version of Denzel Washington
Big kudos to her mom. That's next-level parenting right there.
Welp, the show is out and it's great. Jenna's performance as Wednesday is probably the best part of it, she is incredibly talented and I wish her the best for the rest of her career
Not “probably” … clear as day the best part of it! AMAZING!!! 🤩
This interview makes me an even bigger fan of Jenna. Her sense of humor is great and she’s such a classy and professional person.
🖤
She’s so beautiful and personable. She’s got many more successful years ahead, and I look forward to seeing her in more projects.
She was fantastic. She killed that role. I thought nobody could top Christina Ricci but she did man. She seems down to earth too.
She is hilarious and so gorgeous it’s actually painful to me. I’m in flipping love. Can’t wait for her perfect portrayal of Wednesday Addams.
Right? Hard to watch her and not develop a crush.
Never heard anyone else say that before. Intensely beautiful women have always made my heart hurt too.
@@jstnxprsn Now I’m interested in if this is not a common experience 🤔 Perhaps similarly, I know some, including myself, also at times have felt inexplicable aggression in response to things that are extremely cute
@@ninjagamer1359 I could help you with that, although it could range from a mild annoyance to some deeper psychological issues, which I'm not sure you'd be comfortable discussing here in public.
@@brianj3663 shes hot
Love how far shes come since Disney and she truly ateeeee her role as Wednesday!
It’s cool to see Selena, Zendaya, and Jenna all have their own super successful shows after they part ways with Disney. They’re all so talented and should be recognized as more than just former Disney child actors!
@@davy209 Selena gomez?
Yeah Selena Gomez has Only Murders in the Building and it’s a really good show.
She comes across as so natural and spontaneous. Nowhere near her calculating and cold Wednesday Adams character demeanour. Shows how good an actor she is!
I am rooting for this girl. I hope she gets even better roles; there's so much she can offer to the world of some real entertainment.
You can see that she is a little bit awkward but also ver sweet I didn't knew that cause I usted to watch her in her Disney show and she was very outgoing an extrovert in that one.
I'm glad she is succeeding in the business, she did really good in Scream earlier this year.
i just love how none of you can write your own stories and have to take away white culture cause it is soo much better then yours and if i am wrong why are you not using your own culture...you are not northern european and all the stuff you are taking is from there ....what next snow white is brown.... if this pisses you off ...it is because eveything i said was true!!!! disney and hollywood are on their last legs and trying to take european culture down with it...thanks for causing even more racism by insulting the whites...which all wish you were and deny it all you want but i know it is the truth...otherwise why all the coloured contacts and white makeup and skin bleaching and all the other things you all do to fake it
Loving the hair, makeup, the fit, shoes, everything
Those hands too! Love the nail polish, so pretty 💅
She seems like such a sweet girl, hopefully Hollywood doesn’t screw her up. She’s a Disney survivor, she’s halfway there 😂
😂😂😂❤
Hollywood already killed her with there depression😀
Jimmy should have asked her about the horror movies she's been in this year too. She's a scream queen
i was thinking the exact same thing, was slightly frustrating
She is awesome and has great energy but kudos to the mom for always being there. That's what I call a childhood hero.
So happy for her! She deserves everything
Humble, gorgeous, funny and a brilliant actress. Absolute talent and amazing personality
I just binged the 8 chapters or episodes with my family and we love it. Great casting and great directing. Jenna is the perfect actress to portray Wednesday Addams. Her stone cold expression and dark sense of humor really are spot on. I can't wait to see more projects that she is involved in the future. Jenna has a bright future ahead of her. Bravo Tim Burton and all the staff that helped with the project.
Her career is about to blow up after her incredible performance in "Wednesday"
The whole show and writing and cinematography is great, but she really carries it.
Oh definetly she gained 15m followers in just 2 weeks
I was worried she'd mess up answering a question or getting awkward at any moment but that girl is a smart funny one and I just loved her answers and reactions and just her being herself. You go girl
The way she stares and keeps longer eye contact with a serious face reminds me of Aubrey Plaza. Same personnality vibe too (but a lil less awkward)
@@fatimazohrabechlaghem7680I was trying to think of who Jenna reminds me of for the past week and when I read your comment - it's Aubrey! Thanks! Lol.
@@sofiaruiz-gomez4581 Especially at 01:20 when she does the shy head shake. Aubrey does that too which is weird, they look alike and have the same general vibe too lol
I totally adore Jenna Ortega, she's such a bright woman. I love her dry humor too. I can't wait to see what she does next💕
The final Scream next year
4:57 Jimmy never fails to make it awkward
3:46 that smile is so precious...i can't-
It feels like just yesterday when I saw her as the kid from You season 2, absolutely amazing what a career boost she's gotten over the last year.
Have you watched the The Babysitter: Killer Queen she is phenomenal in that too.
@@apparentlysomeone2103 i just finished watching that movie and omg shes amazing in that
That's where I recognize her from!
@@apparentlysomeone2103 she's so great in that glad she's getting her shine now
When I saw her in “You” I knew she was primed to do great things. So happy for her and her awesome mom!
Oh my god I just love her personality, she’s so smart for her age I think, so brave to just walk into the room being just authentic
this truly sucks and all the latins just love how the cast culturally appropriated white culture as your own...now go lighten your skin and put in some light contacts and tell me you dont want to be a european...f off already...and stay the hell out of european culture...leave our stories alone and go write your own. or are you all unable to create your own stuff so you have to steal from white culture...i guess you not as good as white people cause you have to try to be them
Jenna Ortega is the best actress ever!😀
Jenna Ortega is going to be a force for years to come. She’s just got it.
Wow her mom is awesome - taking her to those auditions. Most parents would pass due the long drive.
I’ve been following Jenna since her Disney days and I’m beyond proud of her, she’s truly a star, I’m counting down the days for Wednesday!💜
Did you watch stuck in the middle too ?
@@Liarffxs yesss
Same
the fact that the audience’s reaction to finding out where Jenna is from, and then seeing HER reaction to their’s, kept cracking me up lol. 😂
love her style and aesthetic so much it brings out her beauty. not to mention her down to earth personality
You had a rising star to promote what it's probably gonna be the biggest show of the year, directed by one of the most influential director in the industry and you spent more than half of the interview asking about McDonald's and Disney prom.
Good job Jimmy!
Agreed !
he is the worst interviewer
God bless her, she did a fantastic job on the show. Hopefully we hear that it picks up a second season
She’s so articulate and funny! What a legend
God bless her. She seems like a very nice, simple person.
She’s a great actress. I feel an Emmy nomination coming her way,
I thoroughly enjoyed the show. Great writing, sets but her acting was the standout. She conveyed so much range within a very restrictive character personality. The use of her eye movements, facial expressions and speaking tempo were absolutely brilliant.
This young lady is incredible. Just started watching it with my family and we love it, she's great.
I love Jenna Ortega... and she was such a great actress in "Stuck in the Middle". She is a great choice to take over Wednesday Addams. 😀
cant wait for her to be considered an A list actress!!
Latina queen !! She so authentic doesn’t have to act white or anything I love her and if I would have grown up with her in the spotlight I wouldn’t feel bad about being Latina and talking the why we do and being the way we are! she is an inspiration to all latinas and the new generations
I didn't know she was latina, omg 😭 Where is she from? Her english is so good, looks like a native speaker 💓
@@lahsouza3775 lmfao of cores her English is good she’s was born in the states but still can be Latina and represent and be an inspiration to latinas. It’s an insult to say your English is soo good to a person of color if u didn’t know
@@brendanevarez2024 where did i say otherwise tho? everyone has an accent even in their mother tongue, having it while speaking eng is completely normal, isn't embarassing or something. i'd never offend anyone for that, especially when i'm latina myself. and she can be white AND latina at the same time, latina isn't a race. But the way you wrote about her i thought she was like Sofia Vergara, Salma Hayek or something like that..
@@lahsouza3775 no she’s not native but I meant more like they way she speaks is more of how Mexican Americans speaks like chicanos speaks. And is so cool and doesn’t act all whitewashed
@@lahsouza3775 we generally recognize latinas as POC even white ones because of historic reasons so
I love how she's not laughing with his stupid comments or jokes. She's being real
