Jenna Ortega Discusses 'Wednesday' And More At 'Jimmy Kimmel Show'

The 20-year-old revealed how long she has been gracing our screens, estimating that it has been more than 11 years. She acknowledges that she has appeared in a few McDonald’s advertisements. In response to Kimmel's inquiry about her taste in sauces, she said, "she's not so much of a sauce guy." She attended a public school, but it didn't take long for her appearance in a Disney movie to get her homeschooled.

In the interview, Jenna referred to Tim Burton as a "lovely little creature" and said he was one of the best directors she had ever worked with. However, she noted that while some episodes are funny, others are disturbing, making the series good for everyone as she concluded the conversation.

While the former Disney Channel star talked to Kimmel about working with Tim Burton and Christina Ricci on the upcoming Netflix series "Wednesday," attending Disney Prom, and filming McDonald's commercials as a child, she also made sure to look the part as

Ortega chose a black Dion Lee cutout lace midi dress.

The dress had long off-the-shoulder sleeves and a thigh-high side slit. The designer's fall 2022 collection is where the fitting silhouette is from. In terms of accessories, Ortega chose silver-toned jewelry, including rings and a beautiful pair of triangle-shaped diamond earrings. She completed the ensemble with a pendant necklace.

To highlight her glitzy makeup, Ortega maintained her bangs facing forward in a half-up style with dark brown hair.

The dynamics of Jenna's character prevented her from blinking during her performance on Wednesday as the show's titular character because it is one of the most talked-about scenes. Netflix's Wednesday, a Tim Burton production, follows the oldest Addams child as she deals with friendships and eerie killings at Nevermore Academy, her new school for outcasts. According to Burton's directive, Ortega won't blink on Wednesday, season 1, according to a Netflix announcement. Even if Ortega occasionally blinks during the presentation, these instances are woefully few.

We have to give it to the scream queen.

The Jenna Ortega-led Wednesday, premised fifteen days ago, reportedly broke its record for November 28 to December 4 with 411.29 million hours seen, according to

The Hollywood Reporter. This is the first instance in which a week's worth of viewing for an English-language series exceeded 400 million hours.
