Jenna Ortega was just 13 years old when she made her screen debut, but long before that she already knew how to disappear.
In an interview with Esquire, the “Wednesday” actress said that as a child she could spend the whole day on a filming set without eating or asking for a sip of water. She did not want to be a burden to the adults working around her, so she stayed quiet, enduring it. Today, with a different perspective, she admits that was a mistake: no one should learn so early to ignore their own body so as not to inconvenience others.
The confession came just as her current thinness sparked concern on social media 🥺 Media outlets such as Telecinco clarify that there is no evidence that her physical change is related to Ozempic or any treatment. Ortega, for now, has not said a word about her appearance. She only left behind that story of the girl who learned to silence her hunger.
