Culture news “My God, she’s talented” This actor from Beetlejuice 2 by Tim Burton praises Jenna Ortega. The actress from Wednesday on Netflix amazed him
Obviously, the experience of the last Beetlejuice really pleased its actors, and in particular Michael Keaton, amazed by the talent of his co-star Jenna Ortega.
Michael Keaton, Jenna Ortega’s co-star in the new installment of Beetlejuice, is full of praise for his colleague whose performance obviously impressed him a lot. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the actor spoke of someone “really special”, adding at the same time:
Oh, she’s talented, she’s got everything it takes, you know? She has the tone. She came in and immediately knew what the tone was and slipped into it like she does every day. She is truly special.
A compliment that echoes the words spoken by Tim Burton, director of the saga, who also described Ortega as a “very special” talent.
According to Keaton’s words, the atmosphere was particularly warm on the set. “I didn’t really think we were going to do it and didn’t want to do it, several times over the last few years, but this was more fun than the other“, and add: “Tim was really, really great – he got back into his comfort zone. I could see he was having fun. Which is really contagious when you’re around those kinds of people“. For her part, Jenna Ortega also spoke to ET journalists, talking about one of the most fun jobs “that I’ve ever had on a film set.”
