Jenna Ortega revealed that she did not stop filming ‘Wednesday’ even when she was sick with COVID.
In an interview, Ortega explained that despite feeling sick, she still filmed the famous dance scene.
According to People:
While speaking to NME the actress revealed she awoke with COVID symptoms on the day of her big scene.
“Yeah, I woke up and – it’s weird, I never get sick and when I do it’s not very bad – I had the body aches,” she told the magazine.
“I felt like I’d been hit by a car and that a little goblin had been let loose in my throat and was scratching the walls of my esophagus. They were giving me medicine between takes because we were waiting on the positive result,” she recalled.
Her test did not come back positive until after she filmed the scene, but she struggled to get through it she felt so unwell.
The rising star is now being criticized for her actions. Many have called her out for being ‘irresponsible.’
