Jenna Ortega gushes about Winona Ryder as she recalls their first time meeting for Beetlejuice sequel

As an ardent fan, I can’t help but feel like I’ve stumbled upon a cinematic fairy tale, with the enchanting meeting of Jenna Ortega and Winona Ryder on the set of Beetlejuice. The way these two Hollywood luminaries have connected, almost as if they were separated at birth and finally reunited, is nothing short of magical.


Jenna Ortega shared insights on her initial encounter with Winona Ryder, which took place while they were filming Beetlejuice together.

The Wednesday star, 21, plays Astrid Deetz, the daughter of Ryder’s, 52, Lydia Deetz in the film. 

In an interview with The New York Times, Ortega expressed that she was immediately friendly, caring, and hospitable, making me feel most appreciative from the outset.

At a point when my professional path was shifting unexpectedly, I didn’t grasp that I required someone who could empathize with me, but I truly did, she stated. Furthermore, she explained that she was going through a transformative phase in her life following her sudden rise to fame on Netflix’s Wednesday.

In a rather unusual manner, Winona and I seemed to understand each other intuitively, as if we had some sort of mental connection. She further explained this by saying it was as if we could read each other’s thoughts.

Rapidly becoming well-known made Jenna feel as if she had suddenly found herself wearing someone else’s footwear, she explained.

She expressed that it seemed as if she stepped into someone else’s world, and she was uncertain about finding her way back to her own, she explained.

In the ’90s, when Winona was enjoying great success and attracting a lot of attention, she became someone who I could easily relate to about this specific topic, as it likely impacted her even more, she clarified.

In a crowd of folks who tried their best, she was the one who truly got me – the one who saw beyond the surface and resonated with my unique essence. Others might have wished to connect, but simply couldn’t relate or comprehend the depths of my experiences.

And when it comes to the advice the Heathers star gave her, Jenna is keeping it to herself. 

‘It’s hard to pinpoint because I think some of it I would like to keep between us.’

She went on to say, “She truly made me feel incredibly beautiful and valued, and during that moment, it felt like the whole world was mine.”

This isn’t the first time the Scream IV star has sung the praises of the Reality Bites actress.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, let me share a heartwarming tale: I found myself striking up a conversation with Winona one day on set, and it seems like we’ve been inseparable ever since. We could be found in the same spot, unchanged, four hours later, a testament to our comfort and connection. She is truly exceptional.

Winona echoes the same sentiment, expressing, “I’ve never formed such a strong connection as I have with Jenna. It was extraordinary! And it often felt like I was conversing with a younger me, yet she’s infinitely more stylish.”

In an interview with Screenrant, she stated that we share a deep, near-spiritual appreciation for films.

‘She is a cinephile, and we just can talk movies for years. We just bonded so intensely, and that was incredibly helpful.  I was really just blown away by her.’

In my experience as a lifestyle expert, I’ve found myself in situations where I glance at someone, and it feels like an instinctive connection. It’s almost as if certain truths are immediately apparent, making it clear that understanding people can be surprisingly intuitive.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I can’t help but express my profound gratitude for the extraordinary chance I’ve been given – an opportunity I never thought possible: working alongside and forming a bond with someone truly remarkable. Her charm is infectious, making it effortless to develop feelings for her.
