Jenna Ortega found success as a child star, but she wouldn't recommend Hollywood for other kids
Jenna Ortega found success as a child actor, but she doesn't think Hollywood is the best place for a kid.
Ortega, who stars in September's Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, has said her parents helped her pursue acting at age 9 after she expressed her interest over several years. She quickly made her sitcom debut in 2012, going on to play Young Jane on The CW's Jane the Virgin and landing a leading role on Disney Channel's Stuck in the Middle.
She continued, 'I wouldn’t speak the way that I do or approach interactions the way that I do. It’s completely changed my way of thinking and going about life, and 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.'
While she acknowledges that the odd upbringing isn't the healthiest environment for a kid, Ortega explained that she wouldn't change her past.
