However, the actress once revealed she had to quit her vegan diet and turn to non-veg, especially fish. It happened because of her Netflix show, Wednesday. They went to Romania to film the show. The food there consisted of dishes like meat rolls, sour chicken soup, and several other delicacies with meat. Hence, it was getting hard for Jenna to provide the proper nourishment to her body. It pushed her to change her diet and include fish in her meals.
While speaking to Wired, Jenna Ortega said, “I was vegan for a really long time. But I stopped being vegan when I went to Romania to shoot Wednesday.” She explained, “The food is very different there, and I don’t think that I was meeting my nutrition requirements, so I started eating fish again. So I’m currently pescatarian.”
Jenna Ortega will return with Wednesday Season 2 soon; till then, rewatch the popular series again on Netflix. On the professional front, her film Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, starring Winona Ryder and Michael Keaton, the sequel to the 1988 classic, is set to be released in the theatres on September 6, 2024.
