Jenna Ortega always was Wednesday Addams from the inside. She didn’t have to go much out of her comfort zone to be Wednesday Addams. During an Interview in Weird’s YouTube Autocomplete Interview Series, while stating her friendships with Maddie Ziegler, the actress Jenna Ortega said that they both became friends very quickly because both of them are ‘weirdos’.

She said in the interview, “She was somebody that I instantly clicked with. We did a movie called The Fallout a couple years back, and I feel like Maddie and I are the same person in different fonts.”

In that very interview, she continues to talk about her former habits which makes her a weirdo.

“She’s such a weirdo and I’m a weirdo in a way I used to perform autopsies on little animals when I was younger..

Little lizards that I found were dead in my backyard. Her comedic timing is so underappreciated. She makes me laugh. We have a good time. We’re really weird together.”

Jenna is never scared to show up and talk about her weirdness with her co-stars. On Jimmy Kimmel Live on November 17, she shared her experience working with Christina Ricci who played Wednesday Addams in the 1931 movie and its sequel on the Netflix series.

She said,” I feel like I personally made it a little weird. She also talks about her dark sense of humor and Christina would go, ‘Uh, that’s dark.”
