When asked if there is a Gen Z trope seen on TV that gets under her skin, the 20-year-old actor said she feels like “it’s always the bratty teen, bad mouth teen or a lot of times unintelligent, which I don’t think is true.”
Jenna Ortega had a bone to pick while appearing on hot wing interview show “Hot Ones,” in an episode that dropped on Thursday. When asked by host Sean Evans if there is a Gen Z trope or teenage stereotype seen on TV that gets under her skin, the 20-year-old actor said she feels like “it’s always the bratty teen, bad mouth teen or a lot of times unintelligent, which I don’t think is true.
Prior to “Wednesday,” she starred in the Disney Channel series “Stuck in the Middle” as Harley Diaz, a teenager navigating life as a middle child. That show ran from 2016 until 2018. Ortega is also a final girl in one of the biggest teen-centric franchises in recent Hollywood memory, having appeared in last year’s “Scream” and soon to return in this month’s “Scream VI” co-starring Hayden Panettiere, Melissa Barrera and OG ’90s “Scream” queen Courteney Cox.
