'Yes Day' Star Jenna Ortega Reacts to Her Iconic Disney Roles! | Breakdown Breakdown | Cosmopolitan

hurt that is not what my voice sounded like hey everybody i'm jenna ortega we're doing breakdown breakdown with cosmo first clip i'm nervous i hate watching myself [Music] first shot of me walking in we shot on reshoots half of the scene it was taken like in october and the second half of the scene was shot in march phoebe tell us three things about yourself emily's face i didn't find out that i was gonna be working on this project until the night before i went for a hair and makeup test but we did not even know if i was secure for the part met the director they tried this hair test kind of halfway i think the inspiration was gwen stefani no doubt days i didn't get the call until maybe like around 7 pm that night now like hey tomorrow 7 a.m here's a call sheet here's the scene you're going to be shooting i was incredibly nervous because it was a sequel all of the other cast members knew each other and they had a relationship and then i just kind of stuck my foot through the door and i'm like hey i'm glad that it's out and i'm glad that people like it but it also is really weird to see myself and know that i went on that set panicking because i had no idea what i was doing well i think snakes are the most misunderstood reptiles i hate the way i say well because i feel like you could hear the shaking in my voice well no and i'm like what are you talking about you're right on time oh no principal hybrid's my period i'm nine days late oh god damn it i was on the fence about it but i think i might just keep it now i just wanna scream no you ever hear yourself on a recording you just think man do i really sound like that that's what acting is except it's with your face and the way you're speaking and the way you're looking like it's just awful i didn't know these people and i just had a scream in their face cannot afford to be predictable my life depends on that but love love is what kept me open alive different i remember this day so well because i was so excited this was my first thing off of disney channel i believe so i remember being incredibly nervous to work on this project i remember during the table read for this and putting a script down and look at me looking at me and saying i am so charmed by you and that gave me a lot of reassurance going into filming or whatever because i remember during this little secret table read i was freaking out i called my mom and i i told her i think that if i don't do well on the savory they're gonna fire me so i remember finally being on set this day just being so relieved are you like lady come on how many photos does it take crazy thing is she never posts any of them sound like i can't speak like i need a swallow or something so you have a girlfriend yet oh my god how old are you like 14. 15. basically 16. so nice to meet you manners why did i say that i don't know was that in the script or did i just say ooh i have never seen this before i've seen parts of you if i can avoid myself i will do so at all costs with season two they never told me anything i was like the one actor who was left in the dark because other people needed to know where their story lines went for a certain motive for example characters like love which the way that ended with her i think it's important that from the beginning she knew what she was getting into and what her character was going to become but for someone like ellie who's just kind of confused and thrown into this world and doesn't really know what's happening i don't know if it was the writers intentionally held information from me or didn't want me to know certain things for the sake of my performance or i guess even just setting the tone on set i have no clue what's happening all the time will it hurt that is not what my voice sounded like will it hurt a little probably for how long a second maybe two hon come on it would have been over by now can you count down from three i sound like a baby okay i missed a rally that day at school i don't remember which season this was but we had been filming jane for a pretty long time so i remember being really comfortable with andrea i don't think it took me very long to film my scenes it was very quick but that is weird i really miss jane i feel like i still look and sound pretty young i didn't start playing my actual age until babysitter killer queen i was 11 playing eight when i say i haven't watched my work i truly haven't like the first project i was ever on uh my family was all watched surrounded by the tv watching what was happening and i was in my room and my parents were like hey come down come watch and i'm like no i was there i know what happens hey i'm jenna ortega from stuck in the middle and you're watching disney channel [Music] did that really just happen the entire cast and i were so looking forward to this day because how could you not it was harder than i thought it was going to be og disney what they would do is they would just kind of freehand it you know just kind of guess with the mickey mouse ears but they're a lot more um technical about it now they have a monitor with the mickey mouse outline on it and they have you point your wand and you find a spot where it looks authentic and real like you would actually start drawing and then you spend like 10 minutes making marks on the floor so that you could follow it with the wand so that what you're doing looks right and it looks like you're actually drawing mickey ears so people aren't just drawing whatever i remember we all would be watching each other and rooting each other on and when one of our friends you know had just had their their moment we'd go over and we'd hug them and shout and cheer and then we'd get back to work that's you know real disney kid they had me practicing for two months prior to shooting i think for this [Applause] [Music] oh the family is cute i do miss them a lot i haven't really seen them since [Music] i didn't do that super complicated stuff i was doing school they had a stunt double at the time who i work with all the time names marissa she's the coolest that was incredible next time just warned me sort of a heart attack this is from our final episode and we shot it two months before we actually rap because we're like oh this is the end but also not the end because i'm gonna be seeing all of you every day for the next three months still i don't think i reflect on this portion of my life that often which is crazy considering i think for four years of my life was dedicated to this show the beautiful thing about television is you're working so much with these people and you're seeing them every day that they truly do become your family so i really miss my cast that kind of made me sad and i did not think i was gonna react that way oh this was one of the first movies i ever did people who've been afflicted by who's the lady what lady honey the lady standing behind them um i still didn't know much about the industry and because they ended on our family and the demons had come to our house there was talk that our family was going to be in the next ones which i thought that was such a crazy thing because i told my mom i'm like i know they had me do more sides in the audition but i didn't know that that had to do with like a possible part that didn't end up being the case but i do remember this being maybe a day of shooting doll that i'm holding really freaked me out it kind of looks like annabelle i don't know if they did that on purpose this was my first horror project i used to be a big scaredy cat growing up so i didn't see this movie until i was maybe 15. also another thing too they were really really um secretive about this script so i didn't read the whole script i just saw the scene that i was shooting that was it so i didn't know the storyline or the plot for anything else and i hadn't seen the original of course because i was little and also scary movies freaked me out thank you guys so much for watching me put up with myself we're done we're out of here never doing that again that actually was kind of cool awful in the best way i swear i'm gonna call my mom after this and let her know what i just did because she will be shocked there were some sweet moments and i guess it's nice to look back on but it also is very cringy and very ugh why did i say something like that i there are a few parts of what i saw today that i think will keep me up at night
