Jenna Ortega Covers The New Issue Of Vanity Fair

The young actress is on the cover to promote her new film, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Highlights from her interview are below.

On her quick rise to fame: “A majority of the last year and a half has felt very far from me…very dissociative and alien and out-of-body. When people mention my name, it’s almost like my name has been taken from me. Now I just feel like I’m floating and…I’m up for interpretation.”

On people connecting with her other famous character, Wednesday: “The intelligence and wit and confidence that Wednesday has, I think a lot of us wish that we possessed in ourselves. When you’re trying to create yourself and you’re taking all these bits and pieces from other people’s personalities and creating your own broken mirror…Sorry, I can’t think right now. I think that’s the beauty of Wednesday. She is inspiring because she’s somebody who doesn’t care what anybody else thinks.”

On seeing Michael Keaton in the full Beetlejuice costume: “I remember feeling my soul leave my body for a second. And then in between takes, he’s sitting down and drinking his tea.”
