Jenna Ortega had to "shower in cold water" during the COVID-19 pandemic. The 20-year-old actress was shooting the title role in Netflix series 'Wednesday' in Romania when the pandemic broke out and explained that the entire cast was left without hot water in their accommodation because there were no repair workers available to fix a faulty boiler.
She said: " I mean, we were out there for seven, eight months in Romania. I was alone. People were going down with COVID left and right.
The entire cast never had any hot water. The boilers in two of my apartments were broken, so I always took cold showers. Everything was closed because you couldn’t do anything.
It feels like we survived something. I wear that as a badge of honor now. I won’t be able to compare that to anything else. " The former 'Jane the Virgin' star - who appears in 'The Addams Family' spin-off series alongside the likes of Christina Ricci and Catherine Zeta-Jones - added that she would "call her parents in a panic" every night whilst on the shoot because she found it very "stressful and confusing" being so far away from home.
