Jenna Ortega Creates a Sculpture of Herself | Vanity Fair

"She just told me that I just need to approach everything that I do in life with the confidence of the average white man." 'Wednesday' actress Jenna Ortega gets real and personal as she creates a sculpture of herself. From the first performance she saw that made her want to become an actor to some great advice she received from a mentor, hear Jenna break down all the things that make her who she is today. Does she always feel pressure to say the "right" thing? How does her public persona differ from her private self? What type of people does she like to spend time with?

[Veronika-mqny]

The only celebrity that doesn't feel like a celebrity but like a friend to every soul. So proud of her

[merlinhot]

She’s very charismatic and more introverted than extroverted. I bet she’s really cool in real life.

Edits: Apparently saying someone is introverted is a bad thing judging by the comments lol. People acting like I called her a slur or something. Being introverted isn’t a bad thing..

[crablord]

She's so articulate and thoughtful especially for her age, sounds like someone who you could talk with for hours.

[Jaidaheditzz]

This interview really kinda showed her true self Jenna seems so chill and genuine

[rayssaguimaraes]

i think she totally forgot it was supposed to be a self portrait and i adore her for that

[yeonna-defb]

i would listen to her ramble all day and not get bored.

[aaronrobertleyva]

“The internet doesn’t know when to quit it.” 👏🏽👏🏽

[Kennedy_]

she is so chill. i want to be friends with her

[Jennartega]

you can see how she honestly seems more happy than she has the past few months.

[newgamer]

I like that she has less makeup on. It shows more of her natural beauty.

[a_Gio_troublemaker]

I've just finished to watch this video. She looks so genuine and friendly. She keeps getting better and better in her career! She has a natural and unique beauty. She is capable of being herself and discovering herself

[SLR]

how funny would it be if there was a video like this but the guest wasnt asked any questions and it was literally just them sculpting themself for 10 minutes expecting questions

[mateoakira]

I was so lucky to be called to interview her for this video and she was so true to herself and open. One of the interviews I’ve enjoyed the most doing ❤

[trinaq]

I adore Jenna, she seems like she'd be chill to know in person. I'm excited to see her in "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" next month.

[mrdevilsike]

Nothing to say besides she just has a cool vibe and she's the type of person were you could talk for hours with and not get bored.

[Burgerandchips]

Honestly she’s such a genuinely nice person which is rare in then fame industry we need to protect this woman at all costs ❤

[mhawang]

I felt the same way about Dakota Fanning. She was like a mature adult in a tiny little girl’s body in most of her roles. But in any interview she comes off as a goofball even now. I still think she was the greatest child star of that generation.

[monolude]

she’s a real one for that Mark Fisher shoutout

[mikearance]

She is very dynamic and earthed and that makes her very lovely. 10/10 video!

[mr.fritzmier]

She looks absolutely gorgeous without all the makeup
. I love it!
