Jenna Ortega, known for her role in Wednesday, has recently gained attention for an intense scene with Martin Freeman in Miller’s Girl. However, Ortega’s experience with age-gap scenes dates back to 2022, when she filmed a provocative scene with Kid Cudi in X, a horror movie about filmmakers making an adult film in 1979 Texas. At the time, Ortega was 19, while Cudi was 37. The scene, which wasn’t in the original script, sparked some controversy due to the significant age difference between the actors. Ortega expressed excitement about the opportunity, calling it a unique experience. She also praised Tandi Wright, the film’s intimacy coordinator, for creating a supportive and safe environment during the shoot.
Two years later, Ortega worked with a new intimacy coordinator, Kristina Arjona, on Miller’s Girl, where she again filmed intimate scenes. Arjona emphasized the importance of ensuring Ortega, as a younger actress, felt comfortable and her boundaries respected. Ortega’s openness about her experiences highlights her commitment to safety and authenticity in the filming process. X is available on Prime Video.
