At 23, Jenna Ortega has built a notable career in horror films and television, including her Emmy-nominated role in Wednesday. She once contemplated leaving acting after her children's show ended, feeling uncertain about her future. However, her experience on the set of You Season 2 reignited her passion for acting. Ortega has also shared the challenges of fame, admitting that the pressure and attention following Wednesday made her unhappy, especially as an introvert.
""When I was a teenager, I'd gotten off of a children's show, and I didn't know what I was gonna do. I had to prove myself and meet all these new casting directors who didn't know who I was. And it just felt like a good time to call it quits, if I was going to.""
""I went on the set, and I loved it, and had the best time. And then I thought, Yeah, there's no way I could let this go.""
""To be quite frank, after the show and trying to figure everything out, I was an unhappy person. After the pressure, the attention - as somebody who's quite introverted, that was so intense and so scary.""
""I could have used my words better.""
