Although it\u2019s her most iconic role to date, the star has opened up about not being able to watch herself back, leading to a \u201cmental breakdown\u201d when she first saw herself in the <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/tag\/netflix\/\">Netflix<\/a> series.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ortega has been in Dublin since February, filming the much-anticipated third season of <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/tag\/wednesday\/\">Wednesday<\/a>. Though the actress is known for a string of <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/tag\/horror\/\">horror<\/a> hits, there\u2019s no denying the queen of macabre has become the defining role of her career so far.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The newfound fame hasn\u2019t been the easiest transition for the actress, something she spoke about in a new interview with Esquire. But when she first started on season one, she was convinced it would end her career.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naming <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2025\/09\/03\/shes-getting-dragged-for-wednesday-so-heres-a-brutal-ranking-of-lady-gagas-acting-roles\/\">Wednesday<\/a> as her biggest creative gamble, Ortega said, \u201cI thought my career was going to be over after that. I panicked. I had no idea. I was so confused. And then they started talking about this show and this big release that they were doing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jenna Ortega Thought \u201cWednesday\u201d Would End Her Career | How I Got Here | Esquire\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fDN_oms-lvg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen we were shooting in Romania, it felt like this small little thing, which maybe was naive because Tim Burton was involved. But the cast and I used to laugh about it, like, \u2018Wow, this is an insane shoot for it to really not be acknowledged.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/tag\/jenna-ortega\/\">Ortega<\/a> admitted, \u201cI can\u2019t stand to watch myself.\u201d And so when she saw part of the first episode, she said, \u201cI had a mental breakdown. I called my friend Matt. I was like, \u2018It\u2019s up. Okay, here we go.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The actress also spoke about the pressures of being a child star, having started acting at nine years old in Iron Man 3 and later appearing in Netflix\u2019s You at age 15.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When asked about any mistakes she made at such a young age, Ortega replied, \u201cI feel like I make mistakes now all the time, but as a child, I was so grateful and so excited to be there that my game face was on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI wasn&#8217;t asking for a sip of water. I would go all day without eating, drinking, whatever, because I wanted so badly to not be in the way of anybody that maybe that was my mistake &#8211; like not actually looking after myself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The comments have sparked discussion online, particularly as clips from the Esquire interview have attracted a wave of concern from fans over Ortega\u2019s slimmer appearance in recent months.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7631\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7631\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7631\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/08\/jenna-ortega-wednesday.jpeg\" alt=\"Jenna Ortega in Wednesday\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/08\/jenna-ortega-wednesday.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/08\/jenna-ortega-wednesday-1024x538.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/08\/jenna-ortega-wednesday-768x403.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7631\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Netflix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But her statement on not being able to watch herself has nothing to do with her physical appearance, as the actress explained in a 2023 interview with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.harpersbazaar.com\/uk\/fashion\/a45696972\/awards-issue-jenna-ortega\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harper\u2019s Bazaar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The real reason is because she fixates on things she believes she could have done better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI can\u2019t watch my work, as I know I won\u2019t be able to push forward and continue to grow as an actor if I cling on to certain things,\u201d she told the outlet at the time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cA lot of people in my profession can probably relate to this: when you do a take you don\u2019t like, you go to bed kicking yourself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBut ultimately, all I can do is be vulnerable and honest when the camera\u2019s on, and then I have to move on and let it go.
