Jenna Ortega is still adjusting to her own fame and success.
The 21-year-old actress has enjoyed a meteoric rise in recent years, and Jenna is still adjusting to her new-found status as one of Hollywood's biggest names.
The 'Wednesday' star told MTV: "It's definitely an adjustment."
Jenna actually relished being able to lean on Winona Ryder - her 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' co-star - for some advice about navigating fame at such a young age.
She explained: "I'm very grateful to be where I am and she had kind of a similar thing to say.
"It was just so nice to speak to someone who actually understood me because ... you know, you can turn to your family who loves and supports you, but they don't know. You know?
"It was really insightful and opening - and that was definitely one of the things we connected on."
Similarly, Winona recently confessed that she has a "sacred bond" with Jenna.
The veteran actress built a deep connection with Jenna on the set of 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice', and Winona suggested that she saw a lot of herself in her co-star.
Winona, 52 - who also starred in the original 'Beetlejuice' movie back in 1988 - told The Sun newspaper: "I felt like I was seeing a younger version of myself - only she’s 100 times cooler.
"I loved what Jenna brought so much. It’s unique. She just blows me away.
"She is an incredible person. She is one of my favorite people. She is the most authentic person.
"Once the conversation started, it never stopped. I had this sacred bond with Jenna that was insanely magical. It’s like soulmates almost."
