Jenna Ortega took out her coffee exactly: “black”, she declared, wrapped in a perfectly bewildered bedside head in a grey hotel robe. “Only black. I can make espresso, American coffee, maybe I’ll put some ice in it. But when I get home, that’s coffee and then go to the bathroom to brush my teeth.”
and the caffeine she needs. It’s early morning in London’s Westminster neighborhood, eight hours ahead of home on the West Coast, and it’s the beginning of a busy news journey for season 2 of Netflix and Tim Burton Wednesday. Throughout the five-city tour, all of Ortega’s beautiful looks were created by makeup artist Melanie Inglessis and hairstylist Cesar DeLeon Ramirez – one thing in total: a secret. The actor is Dior’s makeup ambassador and has been testing the house’s new lipstick Rouge Dior on stage. The purpose of pigment tones is to last 24 hours, so it feels like we are only hanging for a day. (Sadly, no pillow talk is coming.)
When we sat down to start an unusual feast of room service (hummus with crudité, fruit), Ortega told me she was “really not an early person.” At that time, we both heard screams outside the hotel suite window and I realized that across from us were the King’s guards and their famous biting horse. “I don’t make sense even if I want to. I think I’ll agree with those biting horses.”
It’s time to prepare for a busy day –Wednesday Not promoting myself, and the 22-year-old gives me the “ambience” of complete control over the assist line. Under normal circumstances, this is a task I would never volunteer for, let alone be with someone I don’t know, so the stress is even higher. I think Ortega seemed tasteful and cool in my musical taste, but then gave the kiss of death: no pop music. Troubled in my brain, I searched for inspiration in the room and landed on my tote bag, a brand of wives of vampires who is now closed, founded by British Gothic cool girl Susie Cave. Her husband, Nick, is a musician. Bingo. “Great choice,” she confirmed that the first beat of “enter my arm” began to flow through the speakers. “I saw him at a concert earlier this year. Susie is a real-life consignment measure.”
Ortega meets Tim Burton’s world Mars Attack! Six years before her birth. “Sarah Jessica Parker changed my life on Chihuahua,” she said while preparing in the bathroom. “This is the first movie I remember and want to know, what is this world?”
