Tim Burton described the qualities that make Jenna Ortega an actress and a special person.
Tim Burton worked with Jenna Ortega in both “A Wednesday” and “Beetlejuice 2,” which means that there is a special harmony between director and actor. Burton recently wanted to praise Ortega, even going so far as to say that she is someone who holds a special place in his heart.
Here’s what he said:
When I did Wednesday, the reason I enjoyed it as an experience was because I felt very connected to the character. But for me without her it would not have been possible. You can write him well, you can do whatever you want, but a character like that needs so much purity and strength. And the person who plays her must have these qualities. So for me she played a crucial role in the series. She is a person of great awareness, not only as an actress, but in everything around the camera, on the set. He really has a special talent. And he’s been in a lot of horror films, which I like too. This has earned him a special place in my heart.
