by

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for spotting rising talents in Hollywood, I must say that Jenna Ortega is undoubtedly one to watch. Her experiences working with director Tim Burton, a legendary figure in the film industry, are nothing short of extraordinary. The young actress’s ability to maintain her composure amidst the spooky surroundings of Burton’s California residence and the surreal set of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is truly commendable.

Actress Jenna Ortega is poised to play Astrid Deetz in Tim Burton’s forthcoming fantasy-comedy horror film Beetlejuice. This movie will star Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder as well. Moreover, her upcoming project, Netflix’s popular series Wednesday, has been renewed for a second season. In various past interviews, Ortega has expressed enthusiasm about working with Burton. Lately, she revealed some eerie experiences she had at the director’s residence in California.

In a chat with Vanity Fair, the 21-year-old actress casually mentioned some captivating tidbits about Tim Burton’s California home. Ortega, who has collaborated with the renowned director on numerous successful ventures, disclosed that upon entering his house, it felt like stepping into the massive throne from Alice in Wonderland. She further divulged that there was a jar of eyeballs in the bathroom.

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but share a fascinating tidbit from our beloved actress. In her recent heart-to-heart with the press, she casually let slip that he frequently keeps “littles critters” in his pockets. Moreover, during this revealing chat, she nostalgically reminisced about her time on Burton’s eagerly awaited Beetlejuice sequel. With every step onto that set, she shared, I yearned to etch the moment into my memory forever. To add to the magic, upon first laying eyes on our esteemed co-star Keaton as Betelgeuse, I was taken aback – it felt like my spirit temporarily departed from my body, only to return during breaks when he’d be sipping his tea.

Currently, Ortega has been making news for her forthright comments regarding a significant matter in the entertainment industry. In the same interview, she pointed out that an overemphasis on political correctness results in a decrease of authenticity and lacks empathy. She further remarked that our profession is highly emotional, and it would be beneficial if everyone could engage in more meaningful dialogue. She expressed her desire for people to have a “more open discourse,” suggesting that if we could express our thoughts freely without the fear of criticism, it might lead to productive discussions rather than confrontations.

Previously, Tim Burton, director of Alice in Wonderland, expressed his feelings about collaborating with Jenna Ortega on the popular series Wednesday. He was responsible for directing four episodes during its initial season. In an interview with BFI, Burton admitted to being captivated by the show due to his strong connection with the main character. Nevertheless, he underscored that the project wouldn’t have been possible without Ortega, who portrayed Wednesday Addams. According to him, although writing and other elements matter, a character like hers demanded qualities such as clarity, purity, and strength – traits that Ortega embodied in her performance.

Additionally, Burton praised her as one of the “most perceptive” individuals, not just as an actress, but in all aspects pertaining to the camera and film set. He described her as an extraordinary talent, highlighting her extensive work in horror films, a genre he admires, which is what made her hold a “special place in his heart.”

As a dedicated fan eagerly anticipating it, I can confirm that Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will grace the big screen on September 6, 2024! This extraordinary cast includes Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, and Willem Dafoe, with many more talented actors joining them.
