Jenna Ortega is reflecting on the focus she had beginning her career as a child actor and the early mistake she made.
During a sit-down with Esquire, the Wednesday actress was asked what “rookie mistake” she made while working on her first set.
“I really had it going for me as a child ‘cause I can’t think of one mistake I made,” Ortega said. “Is that a terrible thing to say? I feel like I make mistakes now all the time, but as a child, I was so grateful and so excited to be there that my game face was on.”
She went on to recall how she was so focused that she didn’t want to inconvenience anyone by asking for even food or water.
“I wasn’t asking for one sip of water,” Ortega said. “I would go all day without eating, drinking, whatever, because I wanted so badly to not be in the way of anybody.”
