Jenna Ortega does not seem to shy away from challenging scenes in her career. The actress was seen running and screaming as a scary creature chased her in Death of a Unicorn, while she also had to undergo fencing lessons for Netflix’s Wednesday. Now, in her new film, Klara and the Sun, Ortega took on another challenging scene involving drowning.

However, Ortega had an amusing reaction to filming the difficult scene with Amy Adams, as she recalled the experience.

During her conversation with Entertainment Tonight, Jenna Ortega was asked about the drowning scene she filmed with Amy Adams. She recalled how the scene required Adams' character to attempt to drown her, adding that the Man of Steel actress was kind to her throughout the process. As for the challenging scene itself, Ortega seems to have no regrets about the experience.

“For an entire day, she was just drowning me in a lake. And it was like, one of the best days of my life. I love it,” she said. 

When told that Amy Adams had spoken about feeling bad about filming the scene, Ortega further shared that the actress had been extremely gentle with her throughout the process. In conversation with Entertainment Tonight, Adams also opened up about how she had to portray her character and quickly switch into a protective mode off camera. Several similarly intense scenes are likely to feature in the dystopian sci-fi film Klara and the Sun.

While Ortega had plenty of praise for the film and her experience working with Adams, the 52-year-old actress also shared how her collaboration with the Wednesday star had impressed her daughter.

Amy Adams will star alongside Jenna Ortega in the sci-fi film Klara and the Sun. During a conversation with E! News, Adams shared that her daughter, Aviana Le Gallo, was impressed by her involvement in the project. She further revealed that Aviana and Ortega developed a wonderful connection.

“We hung out at [director Taika Waititi’s] and Avi had a great time talking to Jenna ‘cause Jenna's completely genuine and open and curious and lovely,” she said. 

The young actress, who was also present for the interview, had plenty of appreciation for Adams’ daughter. Calling Aviana Le Gallo one of the "coolest" people, Ortega complimented her confidence. While the two actresses share a great bond off-screen, Adams and Ortega’s on-screen collaboration in Klara and the Sun is much anticipated.
