Jenna Ortega says late Cameron Boyce stopped 'uncomfortable' audition kiss scene when they were teens

Jenna Ortega recalled how the late actor Cameron Boyce stopped an audition in which they were supposed to kiss when they were teens after noticing that she was "uncomfortable."

Ortega and her "Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice" co-stars Winona Ryder and Catherine O'Hara recently sat down for an interview with French TV outlet Canal+ during which the "Wednesday" actress remembered the last exchange that she shared with Boyce prior to his death. "It was so sweet because I was uncomfortable and I was having a hard time." Ashley Hume is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.

"The last time I saw my friend Cameron Boyce — I’d known him since I was like 11 or 12, and we were supposed to kiss [in an audition] and he knew me, since I was 11 or 12," Ortega said. "This is a few years later, 15 or 16, we came in and we were supposed to be love interests. But because he obviously felt weird and he was a bit older, he was like — we both just kinda looked at each other and we were like, ‘No, we can’t do this.'"

"And it was so sweet because I was uncomfortable, and I was having a hard time," she continued. "And then, we wished each other well."
