"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?

    She’s very charismatic even though she seems 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..
  • The only celebrity that doesn't feel like a celebrity but like a friend to every soul. So proud of her
  • @crablord7934
    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
  • i think she totally forgot it was supposed to be a self portrait and i adore her for that
  • you can see how she honestly seems more happy than she has the past few months.
  • @yeonna-de9fb
    i would listen to her ramble all day and not get bored.
  • @Kennedy_

  • @newgamer4884
    I like that she has less makeup on. It shows more of her natural beauty.
  • @S41L0R
    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
  • 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
  • @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 ❤
  • @gabygotay5640
    That’s so cute she wanted to be the puertorican version of Dakota Fanning, Jenna you’re so talented! 🥺
  • @monolude
    she’s a real one for that Mark Fisher shoutout
  • @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.
  • 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.
  • @mhawang8204
    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.
  • 9:40 Wow. That really made me more confident when she said that your cooler when your weirder.
  • As a long time fan of Jenna I’m so happy seeing all the success she’s been getting she’s so humble, down to earth, intelligent, talented, witty, Caring, and not to mention one of the most beautiful women in the world with a beautiful soul, I can’t think of anyone else who deserves it more than her, She is such and amazing person and actress and when you hear her talk about acting you can see how much love and passion she has for it and making films in general, And I can guarantee you 100% Jenna Ortega will be one of the biggest Names and actors in the world and industry In the future and she will win a Academy Award or multiple of them and many many more other prestigious awards, She is already so incredibly talented and I can’t wait to see her career blossom and grow and she what she dose in the future, Maybe producing and Directing Films and TV and I’ll be rooting for her and watching whatever she’s in or apart of in anyway and supporting her. :) <3
