Jenna Ortega has been making headlines for countless projects, from her role in Sabrina Carpenter’s music video for “Taste” to starring alongside Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder in the upcoming horror sequel,Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
Speaking of the latter, Ortega sat beside Ryder in a recentEllevideo and answered questions about their experiences on set. One of the questions asked was, “How do you decompress after a taxing scene?”
“I feel like I just sit and stare at a wall, what can you do?” Ortega jokes. “You work these full, long days, and you’re being called again early in the morning, so you go home, learn your lines for the next one and go to bed.”
While focusing on work can be entirely relatable—and Ryder agrees—there is another thing that theWednesdaystar does to decompress that is a healthy habit we encourage.
