Jenna Ortega reveals her lifelong fear: 'I am still scared of them'

Jenna Ortega, who played the courageous Wednesday Addams in the Netflix series Wednesday, still has a silly lifelong fear.

In conversation with Off the Cuff, the 22-year-old actress sat down with her co-star, Catherine Zeta-Jones, revealing that she is scared of Cabbage Patch Kids.

In mid-interview, Ortega’s on-screen mother asked, “What’s something you used to be scared of, but you’re not anymore?”

The lead actress of Yes Day replied, “I used to be afraid of Cabbage Patch Kids. That’s a lie, I’m still scared of them.”

She admitted that she finds the toys “hideous” and added, “I don’t mind Victorian dolls, Victorian dolls are beautiful. But Cabbage Patch Kids, never, ever want to see them again in my life.”

The Miller's Girl actress recalled a time when she woke up sweaty and drowsy from a nap, and a commercial was playing on the TV. It was pitch black in the house, and she hated how their eyes moved and how they grew out from the cabbage.

Jones chuckled at her response and revealed she was scared of horror movies, "I can not get them out of my head." 

Notably, Jenna Ortega and Catherine Zeta-Jones play Wednesday Addams and Morticia Addams, respectively, in the hit TV series, Wednesday. 

The show aired its second season’s first part on August 6, where the mother-daughter duo’s relationship is still shown as rocky.

For the unversed, the second part of the show is set to be released on September 3, with a special guest appearance from Lady Gaga, who will portray Rosaline Rotwood, a teacher at Nevermore Academy.
