Many actors dream of having their work be seen on a global scale. But, Jenna Ortega seems to be a bit of a reluctant celebrity. One of the actor’s latest projects, Wednesday, has quickly catapulted her into superstardom. Her portrayal of the teenage Adams daughter has been streamed billions of times over the last five months. Furthermore, the short dance sequence that she choreographed for the show has gone viral, with celebrities like Lady Gaga and Kim Kardashian reenacting the moves. But it seems that Ortega was hoping that that part of her performance would garner a lot less attention.
Jenna Ortega wanted to redo her iconic ‘Wednesday’ dance
Fans of Wednesday will recall that Ortega performed the now iconic dance sequence in Season 1 Episode 4, “Woe What a Night.” After Wednesday reluctantly attends her school dance, she surprises her fellow classmates by busting out her own unique moves. It was Ortega herself who came up with the moves, watching old videos and losing sleep in order to create the intricate dance. But while the You alum has received praise for her performance, she isn’t happy with it. Since the actor had COVID when she filmed the dance, she wanted to redo it so she could give an even better performance.
