Wednesday is Netflix’s second most watched show in the platform’s history, with over a billion streams. Jenna Ortega, who plays Addams Wednesday, recently joined The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and candidly discussed her role, notably the dance repertoire she created herself. Ortega, who has been dubbed the “Next Great Thing” in Hollywood, described how she built her performance with little prior experience. Wednesday is based on Charles Addams’ character Wednesday Addams, who tries to solve a monster mystery at her school. It was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards: Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy and Best Actress – Television Series Musical or Comedy for Ortega.
Jenna Ortega had been sleepless for two days before filming the dance scene on Wednesday.
Ortega, who is a big fan of the horror genre, thinks that making horror movies and series is both therapeutic and fun. She calls the show’s cast and crew like her family, noting that everyone keeps a serious attitude while working on the show. Jenna then highlighted the show’s famous dance scene, explaining how director Tim Burton allowed her full choreography and full confidence in her ability to perform the scene spectacularly. She stated:
“’I know you’ve got it,’ he said. You worked hard on it. I don’t even bother about it. ‘I have faith in you.’ “Oh, sure, you know, it’s all lovely,” I replied.
Jenna danced to Goo Goo Muck, a song written and performed by popular punk band The Cramps. She had a great time dancing to the song as she is a huge fan of the band and punk rock in general. She also confessed that she didn’t prepare or practice in advance. Everything we witnessed was done on the spot. The original plan was for a flash mob, but Ortega advised the director that Wednesday Addams would be better off going it alone. She stated:
“They wanted a flash crowd at first, but I was told Wednesday it wouldn’t be okay to dance and encourage a lot of people.”
Ortega later admitted that she didn’t have time to practice the choreography because she was busy studying cello and fencing that week. She continued:
“I didn’t think much of it. Oh my God. I cursed myself. I feel like a complete idiot. I don’t jump. I didn’t do any of that. I have no experience in that subject. I haven’t slept in two days.”
She watched footage of Siouxsie Sioux, Lene Lovich and Nina Hagen, as well as Denis Levant’s dancing skills in Claire Denis’ 1999 masterpiece Beau Travail, while creating the scene, but felt unprepared on the set. cinematic stage. In the clip, Ortega even pays homage to Lisa Loring, the original Wednesday Addams, but that part was tragically cut.
At first, Ortega dismissed the prediction that her dance would be “a TikTok phenomenon,” but their prediction came true. The next breakout star will star in Paramount+ thriller Finestkind starring Tommy Lee Jones, Ben Foster and Toby Wallace and reprise her role as Tara Carpenter in Scream VI.
