I hope these two become friends after this because this is the most comfortable I have seen Jenna in an interview. Elle Fanning is the best and so thoughtful. Incredible since she's been through the ringer as an actress and dealing with fame this well but I hope there are more people in Jenna's life that help her deal with the social media aspect of her life or take her off it to protect her.

I know Hunter (the guy who played Tyler) has said in interviews (which emma has confirmed) that he sends Jenna and Emma Myers art he comes across because they're not on social media.
This interview was so wholesome. Two random actors paired up and the conversation flows so naturally, I think they clicked so much, and Elle looks so wise and supportive. She def gives older sister vibes even though she is not. Elle is so sweet and such a ray of sunshine and Jenna is so honest and real, I loved it. My favourite so far.

I wish Elle told her that her openness is refreshing but to be more strategic about what she says because of the downsides of the media. When I saw how she bad mouthed her executive producer being more Elle age I thought wow y would she do that. Then I thought about it and she exposed something that allowed people to stop thinking of her as a puppet she allowed her voice to be heard and as a result she is a producer now. She was given respect. So I hope what she does becomes the norm

And Elle can fully understand that. So it's just cool to see this pairing, and it must be nice for two young professionals to be able to just talk and relate with Elle sharing her wisdom and experiences with Jenna. I also forget how YOUNG Elle is because shes been acting for so long. And with her sister being in hollywood for so long it just baffles me to think Elle is only 25.

Seeing Jenna in such a relaxed state is honestly so relieving for me, and I imagine relieving for a lot of us to be able to learn about her journey where she can fully express herself. I think this interview really helps to acknowledge that the industry they work in is wholly devouring and so dangerous despite its rewards. Elle Fanning creates such a raw and honest environment, and you really get to see the impacts this all has (in a good way). Jenna is such a sweet, talented soul who deserves every ounce of success, and it hurts to know there are people out there mean enough to try and ruin this for her. Social media is a literal war zone, and it’s so so unfair that people like her are victims to it just because of the inhumane types of people online. It’s a place of limitless freedom and too often this is exploited rather then celebrated.

Its so stupid too since obviously many ppl get success who are assholes, it happens, but Ortega is such a wonderfully decent person, she’s not egotistical, she’s young but she’s super humble, and yet somehow ppl still go after her, and she’s so super talented and not just Wednesday, when i saw her in X, and then Wednesday and then Scream I thought she absolutely deserves this fame and money. I mean i dont understand how many horrible famous ppl there are but ppl always go after the genuinely decent ones for no reason other than spite and easy targets and getting a reaction from them. Jared Leto won’t respond to their tweets/comments but Ortega will, or will leave social media.
Jenna opening up about Social Media and becoming so emotional really tugs at the heart strings. Heres a young woman who only wants to do the best job she can in her career to entertain people and was driven off platforms by so called "fans" who twist and manipulate everything she's says or does. My hope is that shes beginning to realize that being herself is the ONLY way to present one's self, and that haters are going to hate regardless of what she does. Being true to herself and ignoring the madness that is the internet will go a long way in helping her overcome her fears and hesitancy. Its nice knowing that despite it all she's still so passionate about acting and eager to perform, it's wonderful to hear her say that.

@@irenalawlor1935 Its more then just that. Her popularity has so rapidly risen that she's gone from a up n coming but still relative unknown actor to super stardom basically over night. It's fundamentally changed her life and done so very quickly. The sudden interest in her and the microscope she finds herself living under now must be daunting. If you think about it for 10 years she's been acting and socializing on various platforms. To suddenly need to pivot away from things she'd been doing as little as 7 months ago for her own mental health and safety would be upsetting. She's such a kind soul, a really great person and its almost as if people like her are attacked just for that reason. Like she said all this ugliness is worth her being able to do what she loves and she will learn to handle all this in due time, shes 20 still learning and growing.

Totally understand that. The love triangle felt to basic and predictable for a character like Wednesday because teenage romance and love triangles have been done so many times and I really can't see a character like Wednesday being part of something like that. I can see Wednesday being in love at some point, maybe someone she has a strong bond with. I personally think that Wednesday would be the sort of character that falls for one person and that would be it, but Wednesday is only 16, she is to young for all that love stuff and we just need at least 1 season where they just focus on the characters. I actually ship Wednesday and Enid a bit though and maybe who knows they can build up a strong bond between the two over a course of 3-4 seasons, then get them together if it makes sense. I don't want them forcing it.

Actors often give this big song and dance about not viewing their work but in some ways it is essential to do that. Regardless of what work you do you need to review and take stock. We all have to do that.

One of the best Actor on Actor segments ever made. Jenna Ortega and Elle Fanning gave a brutally honest, raw and heartfelt talk about the pitfalls and blessings of the industry that should be study by young actresses everywhere.
What an amazing conversation! Amazing chemistry, Elle is so outspoken and intelligent and so is Jenna, I almost feel like they have a mentor- pupil way , but simultaneously a relationship of equals. Amazing dynamic.
Elle's last scene in 'the Great', blew me away. She is just so raw and fearless in the scene as far as acting and the whole heart breaking turn in the character was brilliant. Jenna is natural and I feel like when she finally broke down in 'Wednesday' and was able to feel it was a powerful moment. well done, to both women.

This conversation is so important, especially the ugliness of social media and artists having to have a big audience to get professional opportunities. They literally throw them to the slaughter, unprepared to cope with having people critique your every word and picture. I really hope Jenna can find a way to protect herself against the haters and people twisting everything about her. Like Elle said, it’s not reality, but I get how it can feel like it when it’s coming at you from thousands of people 24/7. We need to be better to people online. We are all human. Artists don’t owe us anything. They are allowed to be private and protect themselves. Celebrity magazines and news outlets should fucking do better too, and we should hold them accountable.

JENNA Xsan has a good feel of how
It's refreshing for a young actress to express uninhibitedly how they're fine with watching themself without a trace of arrogance. I understand Elle comes from immense priveledge, but I still find it deeply inspiring. I also, love Jenna's thoughtful responses. These two are great.
Seeing Jenna cry hurts so much. She's an amazing person and definitely doesn't deserve all the hate she's getting

You will get hate if you a doing very good so many people are jealous of her hope she overcome this hurdles
elle fanning has always been a tremendous actress and she's been working for a decade but she's not appreciated enough like any other actresses working today. i'm glad the great gave her the opportunity to showcased what she can really do and it proved we shouldn't sleep on her talent. her comedic timing was just impeccable for a first time doing comedy and she was also able to hit those heavy emotional scenes which she never fails to deliver, she is actually insane for this. if you haven't watched the great, you should give it a try, she is pefect as catherine and she better win all the awards this year.

They are both very aware of the other one and great listeners (not interrupting each other) and following up on what the other one has shared. This way of holding yourself in a conversation makes it easy for the other one to settle in and feel comfortable. Both of them also meet so many people with their work, so they are used to talking to people they don’t know (they mentioned that they had never met before). They are both young, but still not your average person around their ages (many around 18-25 yrs. of age can still be a bit shy and awkward around new people and in a conversation).
Protect these young women at all costs!! This was such a genuine conversation and I can't wait to see what they do in the future.
I hope this grows into a beautiful friendship. How amazing would it be to see them on each other's shows?! These women got me cryin' 😭❤️
I LOVE THEM BOTH SO MUCH Also Elle needs SO much more recognition!!! She’s amazing!!
I have a feeling that casting directors might consider these two individuals for a film. They give off a great friendly vibe, and I would be thrilled to see them collaborate on a movie project.
I love Jenna’s personality, and she’s also incredibly beautiful, talented and intelligent.

I'm so impressed by Jenna Ortega. She is so eloquent and grounded at such a young age.
This conversation was so genuine and supportive! Both actresses are amazing and I hope a friendship can grow from this, because it’s a relentless industry! I love them both
Jenna really opened up in this interview. She is the kindest young intrapreneur out there. She's a real inspiration.
Elle seems so kind and sweet especially when Jenna got emotional, she was so supportive and I love people like that who are actively looking to support people in conversation ❤️
This pairing is ONCE AGAIN perfection.
I find it very interesting when Elle mentions about 'strong female leads' which is something that Hollywood has gotten so wrong for so long. The irony is both Jenna and Elle are perfect examples of what a strong female lead actually is. With them its not forced and it's not fake its just genuine with passion put behind it. Love them both and I hope that they continue to have the success they so deserve. I'd love to see them work together someday.

I don't think I've ever seen Jenna so comfortable in an interview if you can really call it that, Elle definitely gives off big sister vibes, definitely takes after Dakota a little bit and she was very supportive and kind when Jenna started crying. I really hope Jenna doesn't feel the need to change who she is because she's already amazing, she's so real, it's like she's an everyday girl dealing with Hollywood bs
The beat where it turned from a conversation for variety and for the audience to one between the two of them was beautiful to watch
37:04 the way Jenna says "Fetus" warms my heart 😊 despite the tears she's still able to smile through it all and i love her for that. Wish her nothing but the best ❤ (and shout out to Elle for being so understanding, and allowing Jenna to completely express herself. You could tell it was a comfortable setting and i loved seeing how they both interacted with one another. Such a great interview ❤

I was really moved by Jenna's vulnerability here. When she started crying i teared up. Really hope that kind of honesty becomes more prevalent. Love this conversation ❤
Elle Fanning is amazing and her career is even more amazing. I applaud her for being hands on as a producer on the Great which is FANTASTIC. Definitely my favorite show.
I was looking forward to this so much because of Jenna, but let me say before I even begin that Elle herself is just brilliant and so down to earth....these two really compliment each other so well and how they bounce off each other just seems so natural and it's kind of crazy that this is like how they officially met and had an actual conversation. I love how much they pay attention to each other when the other speaks and you can just see that they will 100% be friends after this I feel they have so much in common and they can help each other in so many different ways more than anything else...love this!!! I forgot to add the raw emotions Jenna showed when she was talking about social media...bruh that hurt to see for real, I hope she just feels better in the long run
Not only are these two talented actors, they are talented conversationalists. The active listening, vulnerable shares, and always asking how the other feels... it's a beautiful thing to witness!!!!
They have such a chemistry, I didn’t know I needed to see them talking like this. I hope to see them working together someday.
Elle Fanning is an o.g. at this point, an amazing career! And Jenna is the new girl in class (her HBO MAX FIM, awesome). Their humility and integrity is SO needed 👏🏾 👍🏾❤️

I will never not smile when I see Elle laughing. What a precious human being.
Seeing Jenna getting emotional made me cry cause what she said was so true about social media and how toxic it is. Celebrities really can’t speak out about anything cause people do twist there words and it’s so sad to see that. It honestly makes me sick and she doesn’t even deserve to get the hate that she gets when she’s so honest and nice. It’s horrible and I feel so bad, it hurts to see her so sad.

I now need to see these two in a movie together ASAP. The powerhouse duo I never knew I needed.
Such a sweet moment. I hope both these young ladies continue to thrive and bring the world their incredible talent for as long as they feel possible
It’s always hard to see younger actors and actresses who a lot of the public still fail to realise are growing up and still figuring out who they are, the insurmountable pressure they have to deal with on a daily basis from people and social media it’s unreal and very stress inducing that if you don’t limit your use you can get lost and go on a downwards spiral on all the opposing opinions people may have on you. Jenna is facing these very things and I believe she is doing that best thing by limiting her use of social media and not letting the noise get to her but surrounding people herself with friends and family who are always there for her. Very raw and emotional to see her open up to Elle which seemingly they only met for the first time now, sad that Jenna finds she can’t be as authentic and vulnerable as she’d like to be to her followers but it’s the harsh reality we live in this kinda messed up world, seeing her cry just makes people wanna give her a massive hug and just tell Jenna of all the amazing things she has achieved and going to accomplish I’m sure of in the future, very good interview ❤❤❤
These two are so genuine I love them
I didn’t know how much i needed to see Jenna and Elle together in a video just being themselves! Love it! So raw.
Massive respect for Jenna being open and honest. The fans will get an idea on what she goes through and they'll be more respective. Jenna is such a wonderful and humble person and its sad to see her cry :(
I think Jenna needs like a friend in Elle to know she is feels acknowledged but Jenna is just so pure and I sense relatability with being vulnerable and knowing you have full support from friends and family who don't judged you based on rumors or lies.
