The ‘Wednesday’ actress has opened up on the channel about one of her biggest insecurities.
If 2022 had a name, it would be Jenna Ortegto. The actress has spent several years making a name for herself on the international scene, with series like ‘You’ and her previous stage on the Disney Channel, but it has been Wednesday Addams’s lacking color wardrobe that has catapulted her to fame. Without going any further, at the 2023 Golden Globes, it was rare the ‘celeb’ who did not look for her to take a picture with her (an understandable movement: we also want to). And it is that, in addition to dazzling with her acting skills, He has also stolen the looks of those who are passionate about fashion and beauty for his recent outfits.
However, the 20-year-old actress has confessed on different occasions that she hates seeing herself on screen. Unfortunately, having insecurities is something that everyone has gone through at some point in their lives, especially during their teenage years. Sometimes, those negative comments towards a person’s physique leave practically irreparable damage.. An experience that is not completely unknown to Jenna Ortega.
In an interview shared on TikTok, Jenna assures that she shaves the hair on her arms daily. And it is not a habit that he has acquired like someone who mentally builds his own ‘skin care routine’ for love of art, but rather it was born as a result of the insults he received from his classmates at school.
“She was very hairy. I have dark hair. I am Latina. I remember her being insecure about the hair on my legs, but more so about the hair on my arms. There was a girl, whom I considered my ‘friend’, who told me that she had gorilla arms.. That is what she called them, because she had very long hair on her arms, ”the actress from ‘Wednesday’ has confessed.
“When I was in sixth grade, my mother finally let me shave my legs, and she taught me how to do it,” he explains. “When I came out of the bathroom, she realized that she had also shaved my arms,” she continues. Her mother didn’t take it very well, but Jenna claimed that she felt so insecure about it that she just couldn’t help it.
“It was a very deep insecurity and no one addressed it again but, to this day, I shave my arms every day,” the actress continued, ending by confessing that it continues to be a part of her body with which she feels “really insecure”.
In the comments on the video we can see that this is not an isolated event, but that different users have claimed to have suffered a similar experience, identifying with that unfounded insecurity that Jenna is talking about. Conclusion: the most normal thing in the world is to have hair on your arms, in one way or another, while what should not be so common is to receive that type of insult.
