Jenna Ortega simply couldn't get over the reception to her dance moves in the "Goo Goo Muck" sequence in "Wednesday." She said, "So the fact that anyone is showing appreciation and [will] try it themselves, it's not fathomable to me." When asked if she has watched any of the TikTok videos of fans replicating the moves, the Gen-Z actress surprisingly answered, "No, I can't be on TikTok. I can't look into all of that stuff. I think, good or bad, it's probably not a healthy place to be."
Ortega admitted that she had COVID when she had to film her famous dance scene. She said it was extremely difficult for her to film because she was just coming down with symptoms, and she rarely gets sick so it hit her hard. She was allowed to film because she had tested negative for the illness before she arrived on set. It was only after that she learned she had COVID.
This was the actor's first Golden Globe nomination. "Wednesday" was also nominated for two Golden Globes, including best musical or comedy television show. While the series did not take home any awards that night, it was renewed for a second season, and proved to be one of Netflix's best shows in recent memory.
