Paul Rudd has heaped praise on his 'Death of a Unicorn' co-star, and described her as "one of our greats" at just 22 years old.
Paul Rudd has hailed Jenna Ortega as "one of our greats".
The 55-year-old actor has predicted a long and successful career for his 'Death of a Unicorn' co-star, and he insisted the 22-year-old actress will get to decide her own fate.
In a joint interview, he told E! News: "Jen's gonna have a career doing whatever she wants to do for as long as she wants to do it.
"She's one of our greats."
The duo were also asked when Paul will join the cast of 'Wednesday' on Netflix.
He joked: "I dunno, what do we think Jenna? Somebody's got some pull on that show!"
She quipped: "Oh! We have a Paul, we have a Paul. We can always have another one..."
When it comes to the upcoming second season of the hit 'Addams Family' spin off show, Jenna revealed the final episode features some of her favourite moments from the entire series.
She said: "Some of the footage that we shot in 'Wednesday' season two, especially in the last episode, I'll say is some of my favourite footage from the show."
Meanwhile, Jenna and Paul recently revealed how they shared an "awkward" first-ever meeting inside an airport lounge.
Speaking to 'Extra', she recently explained: "I was writing in my journal and we already knew we were doing the movie together, and I was doing ‘Beetlejuice’ and you were doing ‘Ghostbusters’ and we both were in London."
Paul added: "I saw you sitting there and I’m like, ‘Oh, my God, I think we’re gonna be working together on this thing pretty soon,' and I went over and said hello, but I wasn’t sure if it was you.
"I walked over - I did that approach like, ‘Is that...?' Then I felt a little stalkery."
Jenna recalled being caught off-guard by her co-star.
The actress shared: "I felt like you were standing there for a while because when I write, sometimes, if I don’t know what to write and I kind of was getting to the end of my page anyway, I’ll just write exactly what’s happening in the moment, and I was like, ‘Oh, this guy’s been staring at the, you know, board for a really long time,’ and then I looked up and it was Mr. Rudd."
