Jenna Ortega opened up to Vogue magazine as part of a new cover story about her nonexistent relationship to how the public receives her movies. In other words, the “Wednesday” star does not watch her own movies or read reviews (because “that would send me into a psychosis of some sort’) or check the box office updates when her team sends them her way (because “I don’t want it to become a numbers thing”).

For most of her movie career, Ortega would rely on social media to gauge the chatter around her projects or to find out how much word of mouth existed around a certain project. But she’s even doing less of that these days since she’s on social media “less and less” because “so much of what you see on there nowadays is just garbage AI,” plus “we all look at ourselves too much.”
