Jenna Ortega, who starred in Disney’s Stuck in the Middle, was safe from misconduct as a child star because she claims her mother watched over her “like a Hawk!” Recently, the docuseries Quiet on Set unveiled the dark truth behind kids’ shows and became a sensation. Many child actors from Nickelodeon shows spoke out about the misconduct and harassment that took place behind the scenes.
When The New York Times asked the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice actress whether she had a similar experience, she denied it and credited her mother. Although she hadn’t seen the documentary, her mother did and talked to her about it.
“I think for her, it was more pain because she had seen the way that other children maybe weren’t protected or weren’t as looked after,” Oretaga added. “She watched over me like a hawk, so I think for her, it was more empathizing.”
Further elaborating on her mother’s reaction to the documentary, Ortega revealed that she felt grateful that she was there to witness everything but wished she could have somehow helped the other kids.
Fortunately, the Wednesday actress was saved from incidents that could have impacted her life. However, she did acknowledge that “child acting is strange” in general. “I see why my parents felt so hesitant about it because you’re putting a child in an adult workplace,” she told the Times.
She also admitted that if she’d stayed growing up in Coachella Valley, she would have been a different person, speaking and approaching interactions differently.
“It’s completely changed my way of thinking and going about life,” she added. Ortega also talked about child actors having a “secret language” because of their shared experience. When I speak to other child actors, I can pick them out instantly because we all have that — it’s just very specific, like some secret little language or something that we all share.” she added.
Because the actress believes children are not supposed to work like that. She also admitted that sometimes he regrets choosing acting as a career at a young age, and maybe even her parents regretted it. Nonetheless, she “wouldn’t change anything.”
Ortega will next be seen in Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which will be released on September 6, 2024.
James Gunn is the Studio head of one of the most beloved superhero franchises. There have been many trilogies with epic third installments in the DC Universe that can be considered the best ever. When Gunn was asked about his favorite trilogy with the best final installment, his answer was quite surprising.
After a fan revealed that Guardians Vol. 3 was “close to being the best out of the three,” another fan asked Gunn the same question on threads. He mentioned several good ones before revealing his personal favorite.
“The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is usually considered the best, although not a straight trilogy and For a Few Dollars, my fave of the three, is underrated,” he said. Gunn also mentioned Logan, Thor Ragnarok and Return of the King in his reply before naming his personal best. “The one I like the best for sure is Bourne Ultimatum, one of my favorite action films ever,” he added.
The 2007 film The Bourne Ultimatum was the third installment in the Bourne franchise following Matt Damon’s Jason Bourne, who can go to any extent to uncover the origins of his life as a trained killer while dodging the CIA agents who are trying to kill him.
Although The Bourne Ultimatum was meant to be the final chapter of the trilogy, the franchise was reprised with 2012’s The Bourne Legacy, in which Jeremy Renner’s Aaron Cross became the new lead. However, it opened to mixed reviews and earned a disappointing $276 million worldwide despite having a $125 million budget.
The next installment was 2016’s Jason Bourne, in which Damon reprised his role with original director Paul Greengrass on board. It again mixed reviews but managed to collect over $400 million worldwide.
As for Gunn, he is currently working on post-production in DC’s first feature-length installment, Superman. The highly anticipated superhero reboot could be the start of another superhero trilogy. David Corenswet is all set to play the legendary superhero alongside Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and House of the Dragon’s Milly Alcock as Supergirl.
Although the plot details are shrouded in secrecy, Gunn shared that it will focus on Superman trying to reconcile his Kryptonian roots with his human upbringing. It will also retell the Man of Steel’s origin story.
