I was raising chinchillas, and I\u2019d read books with my chinchillas in my lap. Maybe I\u2019d go to a karaoke bar one night or host a dinner at my place &#8211; things like that. I tried to make it feel as family-like as possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nJenna has enjoyed a meteoric rise in recent years, starring in a host of big-budget projects, including &#8216;Beetlejuice Beetlejuice&#8217;, &#8216;Scream&#8217; and &#8216;Wednesday&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>\nBut the actress previously admitted that she&#8217;s still adjusting to her own fame and success.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe told MTV: &#8220;It&#8217;s definitely an adjustment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nJenna actually relished being able to lean on Winona Ryder &#8211; her &#8216;Beetlejuice Beetlejuice&#8217; co-star &#8211; for some advice about navigating the potential pitfalls of fame.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe explained: &#8220;I&#8217;m very grateful to be where I am and she had kind of a similar thing to say. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It was just so nice to speak to someone who actually understood me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/jenna-ortega-felt-unhappy-after-wednesday-success-1419587.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>29 May 2025 Jenna Ortega became an &#8220;unhappy person&#8221; after season one of &#8216;Wednesday&#8217;.
