Jenna Ortega spoke about the tantrums due to the filming of “Wednesday”

Actress Jenna Ortega, who portrayed Wednesday Addams in Netflix’s Wednesday, spoke regarding a difficult filming schedule and emotional instability due to the large number of additional lessons to prepare for the role. The commentary of the actress was published by Variety.

Jenna Ortega started fencing, canoeing and playing the cello a few months before the start of production on Wednesday. The lessons did not stop during the eight months of filming in Romania.

I was supposed to arrive two hours early, then work 12-14 hours, and then go home for one of the lessons via video link. Sometimes the cello teacher was already waiting for me in the apartment. There was no end to it, we filmed six days a week, and even if it didn’t happen, the lessons were constant.

Cello lessons were difficult for the girl, and following arriving in Romania she had to change teachers. It was difficult for the girl to learn the composition Paint it Black, written for two cellos, since the task seemed to be to reproduce it with only one.

I did not sleep well. I tore my hair out. There were a lot of FaceTime calls that my father answered and said that I was crying hysterically.

Ortega tried hard to learn how to play the instrument so as not to disappoint the cellists who watched the show. Jenna Ortega said that Wednesday director and executive producer Tim Burton cheered her up, saying that everything would work out and the result would be great. However, the actress admitted that she seriously wondered how it was possible to perform a work for two instruments on only one quite plausibly.
