Jenna Ortega Talks Being Discovered On Social Media

Jenna Ortega strikes a pose in black and white on the cover of A Book Of magazine!

In the issue, the 17-year-old actress opened up about her role in the second season of You, as well as how she feels about social media. Check it out:

On her role as Ellie in You season two: “At least for me, in my career, she is very contrasting from where I came from – Disney. It’s very different and is a very drastic change. She’s very real and grounded and I think that there will be a lot of people who can relate to her.”

On her take on social media: “Well I grew up in social media. That’s how I became an actress in the first place. I was discovered on Facebook. I feel like there’s definitely a lot of positive things that come from social media but I also think it’s very damaging to your mental health.”

A portion of the proceeds from Jenna Ortega‘s issue of A Book Of magazine will be donated to WE Day, and you can purchase your copy right HERE!

Jenna Ortega Is Excited To Be Taken More Seriously After 'You' Role

Jenna Ortega is dishing on her involvement in You season two.

The 17-year-old actress is starring in the show alongside Penn Badgley and she recently dished about how much she loved the first season.

“The day after I finished bingeing You, I got a call that they were looking for a girl around my age to be on this show that I had fallen in love with,” Jenna told People. “I just remember looking at my mom and saying, ‘I have to book this part.’”

And now that the episodes are out, she can’t wait to be taken more seriously as an actor, and not be typecast.

“I’m just happy people get to see me in a different light, because as an actor, the last thing you want is to be pigeonholed into one category,” she said. “I’m excited for people to take me more seriously.”

You season two is streaming on Netflix now!
