Los Angeles, California - Wednesday star Jenna Ortega got honest about her career beginnings and the "mistakes" she would make, including not eating on set to make sure she didn't get in anyone's way.
While chatting with Esquire, the 23-year-old dished on the extreme lengths that she would go to impress people on set as a kid.
"I really had it going for me as a child, 'cause I can't think of one mistake I made," Jenna began.
"Is that a terrible thing to say? I feel like I make mistakes now all the time."
She continued, "But as a child, I was so grateful and so excited to be there that my game face was on."
The Beetlejuice Beetlejuice actor explained, "I wasn't asking for a sip of water. I would go all day without eating, drinking, whatever, because I wanted so badly to not be in the way of anybody."
Jenna admitted, "Maybe that was my mistake, was not actually looking after myself."
The Gen-Z scream queen got her start acting at just 10 years old in the sitcom Rob. She went on to star in the Disney Channel series Stuck in the Middle before transitioning to more mature roles in movies like X and the hit Netflix show Wednesday.
Jenna's latest comments sparked some concern among fans, as some also drew comparisons between her apparently thinner appearance and that of Ariana Grande – who recently announced an impending hiatus from the spotlight after facing an online firestorm over her weight.
