That glare. That scowl. That “I’d rather eat glass than smile at you” energy that turned Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams into a global obsession. Surprise, surprise — it’s not acting.
On Late Night with Seth Meyers, Ortega finally confessed what fans have been whispering for months: her iconic resting bitch face is less method and more genetics.
Quoting Fred Armisen…While Looking Like She Hated Him
Ortega spilled that she used to fangirl over her co-star Fred Armisen, secretly quoting his lines behind his back. Sweet, right? Except poor Fred had no clue, because Jenna’s poker face is so lethal she looked like she wanted him fired.
Seth Meyers nailed it with one savage observation: “You look like you’re not having fun even when you are.” Cue Jenna spiraling.
A Whole Clan of Ice Queens
Did Jenna deny it? Please. She doubled down. “I have such a bad resting bitch face. Everyone thinks I hate them.” And apparently, it’s a family franchise. Mom? Sisters? Same death stare.
Ortega straight-up admitted her neighbors avoid casual chit-chat because the whole clan looks like they’re plotting a suburban takeover.
The Business Card Fix
Meyers, never missing a beat, suggested Jenna start carrying business cards that read: “This went better than you think it went.” The deadpan queen cracked — and for once, Miss “I Hate Everyone” actually laughed so hard she had to cover her face.
