Jenna Ortega, a 23-year-old actress, recently participated in a video interview with Esquire, which has led to public concern regarding her health due to her appearance. The interview was shared on YouTube and Instagram, where numerous comments expressed worry about Ortega's thinness. One comment on Instagram, which received over 124,000 likes, questioned the trend of people appearing emaciated. Other comments described Ortega as 'very thin' and 'skeletal,' with some users expressing alarm over her appearance.
In the interview, Ortega reflected on her experiences as a child star, stating, 'I wasn’t asking for a sip of water. I would go all day without eating, drinking, whatever, because I wanted so badly to not be in the way of anybody.' She acknowledged that neglecting her health might have been a mistake.
The discussion around Ortega's appearance is part of a broader trend in Hollywood, where several celebrities have faced scrutiny for their weight. Comparisons have been made to other stars like Ariana Grande, whose recent video also sparked health concerns. Ortega's representatives have been contacted for a comment but have not yet responded.
