Child stardom presented significant challenges for Jenna Ortega, who recently shared insights into her early career. The "Wednesday" star, now 23, recalled her initial approach to acting in the early 2010s, emphasizing a profound sense of gratitude and a desire to avoid being disruptive.
Ortega explained that her commitment to not being a nuisance led her to neglect personal needs, such as eating or drinking, during long days on set. Reflecting on this period, she now views her inability to prioritize self-care as a potential misstep that could have derailed her aspirations.
