Jenna Ortega says sudden fame was ‘very overwhelming’

Jenna Ortega described the sudden fame of Netflix on Wednesday as “very overwhelming”.

The first season of the show on the Addams family’s bolt girl was released in 2022 and became the most popular English language series of Netflix.

22 -year -old Ortega, BBC cultural reporter Lizo Mzimba’ya “people can echo the way he can echo and satisfied” he said.

But when asked if he was ready for interest with the series, the US actress replied: “Nobody? No, I wasn’t. I don’t want to know someone. I don’t think it should be like a normal species. [experience]. “

“I’m still very grateful and grateful. We didn’t know that no one would watch the show. You’re doing these things and you don’t know what to happen, so it was very crushing.”

The second season of Tim Burton’s show next week is now following Wednesday Addams as he returns to Nevermore Academy under the leadership of a new manager.

In addition, a greater role for the parents of Wednesday, which will experience an increasing asset on the school campus, is something that Netflix rarely resulted in a “a new form of torture for a violent independent amateur Sleuth”.

The greater importance for father and nun Gomez and Migeria Addams gives the show of the show to discover the family dynamics more deeply than it is in the first season.

“One of the reasons why people echoed with the Addams family, I think they are their oddity,” Ortega said.

“They are a very harmonious unit, but they also stand out very different from each other. [together] But they do it. And that’s very relative. “

He emphasizes the complex dynamics between Wednesday and Morticia played by Catherine Zeta-Jones and says that the audience is looking forward to “more” than the Galli actress, which is defined as a delicious, divine being “.

“Very typical for the titles of the mother and daughter’s titles,” he notes Ortega, “and feels that he wants to be his own person and perhaps he deserves or has not been given the space to come to him.

“But at the same time the mother’s desire to look at her children and to be a protective and the desire to cope with the difficulties they may have encountered in the past. When reading the scenarios, it can be very applied for my experience as a teenager and now.”

Born in California, Ortega, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the death of a unicorn horse and two films in The Scream series, as well as TV series You and Jane The Virgin.

However, the best known role, sharp intelligence, sliding delivery and Morbid is a character known for his admiration for everything.

Wednesday was first described by Lisa Loring in the Addams Family TV series in the mid -1960s. Christina Ricci later played the role of two films in the early 1990s.

Ortega, for the next season, some different muscles flexible, also serves as a manager producer, “It was a great education for me … I tried to get wet as much as possible,” he said.

He accepts the three -year gap between the first and second season, but adds that he “allows dust and debris to settle a little”.

The audience is “very patient for us”, Ortega smiles. “We’ve waited for them for a long time. We want to please them, but we want to do it in new and more exciting ways.”

Zeta-Jones says that the second season gives him a bigger role after “only released this central character’s kindergarten and set up”.

The player who worked in the opening season remembers, “as if something was on the base”.

So when the producers tell him that they really wanted to use the second season “on Wednesday, they really wanted to use the family surrounding the family and really to look at this dynamics between the mother and daughter.”

“They created a pleasant arc that did not replace the story of Wednesday and his journey, they only made a beautiful pillow and our characters in a wonderful way. At this point of my career, I feel very blessed to be a part of this world.”

Other stars in the second season include Wednesday, his grandmother Hester Frump, Steve Buscemi Nevermore Director Barry Dort, and Billie Piper as the President of the Music.

Ortega is one of the reasons why the show is so widely echoing the themes of “where we find our community feeling”.

“I wasn’t around in the 70s, but I hear the stories of the people who knocked on the doors of their neighbors, and I’m waiting to meet someone who goes all over the city of bikes and just in a certain place.”

This is a great contrast with trust in smartphones today. “People don’t talk to each other personally. They interact and find their communities online, which can be very isolating.

“Also, there is much more than you are exposed to, or more than you are typical, or too much sound and too many views that people should be exposed to.

“I think it is more difficult to find a sense of self. Young people, ‘What makes my voice forward? What is about me that gives me a sense of purpose, control or authority in this world and today?’ ‘They are fighting to find.’

According to Zeta-Jones, the Addams family is exactly relative because “being unique is not a problem, we do not try to box, we do not try to hide it, we encourage as a family … This is the final modern family.”

Ortega accepts: “In such a clear way, there is a great comfort to see themselves, freely and where they are important, and where it is important, this is your family, this is your special interests, your power, your power, your courage and your confidence in your voice.

“It is very easy to be sweeping in some kind of sheep mentality, and I think it is very important for young people to see this family more than ever.”

The first four episodes of the second season of Wednesday were released on 6 August and the remaining four were released on September 3.
