Jenna Ortega Previously Said She Feels ‘Incredibly Misunderstood’
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter last summer, Jenna Ortega reflected on feeling “incredibly misunderstood” as an actress.
“I think that’s part of my struggle with that side of the job, because you feel incredibly misunderstood,” she said. “It’s almost to a point where it feels like your name doesn’t belong to you. I almost don’t even resonate with it anymore.”
“I hate assumptions,” she further pointed out. “And a big part of this job is that people are going to make assumptions about you.”
While also appearing in the interview, Wednesday director Tim Burton further shared that he missed the “days of mystery.”
He seemed to hint that it was better when “you didn’t know everything about actors.”
“We know too much,” Ortega said. “And the people feel entitled to those bits and pieces of your life where if they were put under the same microscope, they wouldn’t feel nearly as comfortable.”
Discussing how she feels about being recognized in a public setting, Jenna Ortega had some thoughts. “Sometimes you go out, and it’s a mess. And other times, I could be walking for hours, and no one gives a s—. If you really want to go unseen, you can do it.”
However, she added that she’s “always scared” when fans recognize her on the street. “Somebody shouting your name in public is insane,” she said. “Sometimes I feel uncomfortable when it’s grown men approaching me.”
