Jenna Ortega discusses mental health and acting career

Jenna Ortega Klara and the Sun mental health child actors Taika Waititi

Actress Jenna Ortega has shared insights into her methods for protecting her mental health while navigating fame. To avoid psychological strain, she avoids reading film reviews, monitoring social media, and checking box-office figures, stating she does not want her relationship with her projects to become a matter of numbers.

Reflecting on her early career, the 24-year-old expressed that there should be less ‘workhorse expectation’ placed on child actors. Having started professionally at age nine, she noted that the industry can be a confusing environment and stated she would not recommend starting a career at such a young age.

Regarding her upcoming role in the sci-fi film ‘Klara and the Sun’, directed by Taika Waititi, Ortega revealed she drew inspiration from her nieces and nephews. She observed their natural curiosity and innocence to help portray the character of a solar-powered artificial intelligence companion.
