In Hollywood, some connections go beyond the screen, and for Winona Ryder and Jenna Ortega, their friendship is a perfect example. The two actresses, who star in the highly anticipated “Beetlejuice 2”, share an instant bond that formed shortly after Ortega’s breakout role in the hit Netflix series “Wednesday”. Their connection, described as protective and almost familial, has been evident in recent public appearances, and fans are loving the support these two leading ladies offer one another.

In a heartfelt interview with “ET”, Winona opened up about the deep bond she shares with Jenna, which started just days after “Wednesday” began streaming. “From the moment we met, we just locked in and started talking and just…” Winona began to say before Jenna seamlessly finished her sentence, “never stopped.” It’s clear that the two found something special in each other—a mutual respect and protectiveness that goes beyond their work together.

Winona, a Hollywood icon herself, expressed a motherly protectiveness over her younger co-star, a sentiment that Jenna seems to reciprocate. This protectiveness was on full display during their “Beetlejuice 2” press run at the Venice Film Festival. In a viral moment on the red carpet, when Winona was asked by paparazzi to remove her sunglasses, Jenna quickly intervened. She reassured Winona that she didn’t have to comply, offering her support in the moment. Fans praised Jenna for standing up for her friend, and it was a clear example of the deep bond the two have formed.

Their friendship, rooted in mutual respect and admiration, is refreshing to see in an industry that can often pit women against each other. Instead, Winona and Jenna have become each other’s greatest allies, navigating their careers and public lives with grace and support. 

As they continue promoting :Beetlejuice 2″, fans are excited not just for the film, but for the continued camaraderie between these two leading ladies. It’s heartwarming to see Winona, a veteran of the industry, taking Jenna under her wing while Jenna, in turn, shows the same fierce loyalty and protectiveness toward her co-star.

In Hollywood, it’s not often we see such a genuine bond, but Winona Ryder and Jenna Ortega are proving that leading ladies can also be each other’s biggest supporters. Their connection is more than just a working relationship—it’s a friendship for the ages.
