Jenna Ortega, actress star of Tim Burton's series Wednesday, on Netflix, spoke on the podcast 20 Questions: on Deadline, and revealed that her first celebrity crush was former US President Barack Obama. Jenna was just 6 years old when Obama began his second term.
However, Jenna said she was completely fascinated by the former US President. She said: "When I was younger, Barack Obama was my first crush. I was obsessed with him. I watched the inauguration with heart-eyed eyes. I started writing him letters and writing letters to Oprah because I saw they were friends magazines.
I was obsessed with this woman. Like, Please, introduce me to Barack, Barry, anything!" Speaking with Oprah Winfrey, Jenna only recalled that, during their first meeting during a premiere, Oprah stepped on her foot before apologizing.
She "she Said: Oh my God, I'm so sorry, honey!" Ortega said. And when asked if she's gotten to meet her first celebrity crush, Jenna replied, "Nope! I'm waiting. I'm waiting for a response to those letters I sent him!"
