her talking about choreographing the dance scene, practicing cello and fencing, and even making a spotify playlist for wednesday… you can really tell how much she cares about her character and it paid off so much

[dazzlingdexter]

This girl did so much work for this role. She deserves an A.

[earlhollar]

In my opinion what makes Jenna perfect for horror movie, is the way she wears her hair. Along with her makeup and that devious look in her eyes!

[Jackattack]

She’s so humble, cute, and talented. Hearing her talk extensively about how much research she’s done for her character is also very admirable on her part

[Tamagotchxii]

I just wanna applaud Jimmy. This interview seems way more comfortable to watch and she seems to be enjoying herself just telling all the stories of her behind the scenes! So glad she came on this show

[reaboo]

she deserves the recognition everywhere, i wish the interview is longer her charisma is so captivating!

[jazzworldglobaltv]

Love her so much. She's like the Johnny Depp girl version and her dance is stupidly hilarious but I'm loving them. She's really good at what she does. I hope she'll be given the Best Actress Award.❤

[basicallyabush]

I love Jenna’s personality, and she’s also unreasonably beautiful and talented.

[fia]

Jenna is definitely going to become one of the best and most iconic actresses ! (guys chill i’m not comparing her to anyone, it’s my opinion stop being mean in the replies)

[Msrtega]

Her acting was actually the best I’ve ever seen, you can tell by all the work she put in, learning the cello, fencing and more. It’s so obvious how much work she put in and she deserves so much!

[MrCerir]

Jenna Ortega is an incredible human being!

It still blows my mind that weird and goth and geek and all these things that when I was a kid were SHAMEFUL and embarrassing are now mainstream and cool. I was obsessed with Tim Burton when I was a kid, especially Betelgeuse, as well as vampires and other things people thought was weird. I even remember convincing myself I was a missing member of the Addams Family that my actual family had adopted to which my mum responded, "if you were adopted we would have given you back!" 🤣

She portrayed Wednesday perfectly and her commitment to the character is unlike anything I've ever seen. She's beyond fabulous!

[elihithomas]

She was extremely good In this show. Can't wait for season 2!!!

[farzanhashmi]

The thing I just realized is that some people find Jimmy's enthusiasm fake and whatever but it really hypes up a guest if not in terms of praise then in terms of talking more and more about the show. Jenna looked shy and very straight to point and by the time we came to the dance part, she was going all in with the details of the prep work. I loved that

[jeanetteharsough]

She’s so humble and real she’s just someone talking about their job which they obviously love

[ButterflyKissesVapor]

I love Jenna. She's so bright and hopeful and she doesn't let fame take over. 🥰

[absorber]

bro she’s so well-spoken, love her sm ❤️😭

[buster]

She does Wednesday perfect . And her dance was perfect .

[malomuse]

She's so humble. She's not fazed at all with the hype and fame. Love it.

[Michaelobama]

Not only is Jenna Ortega a Great actress. She is Freaking adorable

[TransGuyShane]

You can tell just how passionate she is about her work ♡♡
