Jenna Ortega isn’t just your favorite Wednesday girl—she’s also brutally honest about what it’s like growing up famous.
At just 22, Jenna has been in the Hollywood game since she was 10, and she’s seen firsthand that being young, ambitious, and a woman in the spotlight isn’t exactly a walk in the park.
In a fresh interview with Vogue México and Latin America, Jenna got real: being a young woman who knows her worth? Yeah, it terrifies some people. And for her, that fear hits deep.
“Being young and assertive is intense for a lot of people, as a woman. I’ve always known what it’s like to not have a voice, and that terrifies me,” she said. Translation: she’s not letting anyone silence her anymore.
Back in the day, Jenna admits she didn’t really know how to speak up on set. Some projects left her feeling insecure, making her question if she even had a seat at the table. “I was very young, didn’t know anything about the industry… I shut myself away and became very insecure about my place,” she confessed.
Now? Big mood. Jenna’s all about speaking her mind, working with the crew, and making sure her voice actually counts. She’s learned that when you open up instead of clam up, everyone wins—and the final product is way better for the audience.
Bottom line: Jenna Ortega is out here proving that being young in Hollywood is scary, messy, and chaotic—but if you find your voice, you’re unstoppable.
