Wednesday star Jenna Ortega has revealed that she “can’t watch” herself on screen.In a new interview, the 21-year-old actress said she wouldn’t be able to move forward with her career if she spent too much time focusing on things she doesn’t like about a particular scene.Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar magazine’s December/January issue, in recognition of her receiving the Breakthrough award at the Women of the Year Awards 2023, Ortega said: “I can’t watch my work, as I know I won’t be able to push forward and continue to grow as an actor if I cling on to certain things.“A lot of people in my profession can probably relate to this: when you do a take you don’t like, you go to bed kicking yourself.
