Jenna Ortega is already widely considered one of the reigning scream queens of her generation, but she recently revealed there was another popular horror movie she almost starred in.<\/p>\n
The actress stopped by Kid Cudi\u2019s new podcast, Big Bro With Kid Cudi<\/a>, on Wednesday, April 8, becoming the recording artist\u2019s second guest after his interview with Kylie Jenner last week. There, the two former costars\u2014having previously appeared in A24\u2019s 2022 film X together\u2014chatted about an array of topics, eventually landing on the movie roles that they auditioned for throughout their career, but \u201cmissed out on\u201d for one reason or another.<\/p>\n In the clip<\/a>, Kid Cudi asked the actress if she had any roles she might have \u201creally wanted to get\u201d but ultimately didn\u2019t. Ortega started by stating she\u2019s always taken rejection well, as she cares more about \u201cwhatever suits the project best.\u201d Thinking for a moment, she then revealed that she was sent the script for what would become a cult-favorite horror movie when she was just 12 years old.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t understand it when I came in, but I think I auditioned for Hereditary, which obviously wouldn\u2019t have made any sense for my disposition as a kid,\u201d she told the host<\/a>, adding, \u201cAnd I didn\u2019t know what I was looking at. They gave us barely any sides. It was like two pages of just ominous words that, as a 12-year-old, kind of went over my head. But I remember seeing it, looking at it, and thinking, \u2018I feel like this is an important movie.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n She went on to say that she and her mother actually went to see the film when it was released in theaters without realizing it was the one she\u2019d auditioned for, joking that she told her mother, \u201c\u2018This is one that I said was gonna be important!\u2019\u201d Kid Cudi also shared his own answer to the question, revealing that he\u2019d auditioned for Get Out with Jordan Peele, with the lead role ultimately going to Daniel Kaluuya.<\/p>\n As the title of the podcast suggests, the two also discussed who Ortega currently considers the \u201cbig bro or big sis\u201d in her career. Without pause, the actress answered with a genuinely iconic list of names.<\/p>\n \u201cNatalie Portman is someone who always checks in on me, \u201d Ortega stated<\/a>. \u201cWinona Ryder is another really big one for me. Catherine Zeta-Jones is really wonderful to me and very protective. But all of those women\u2014obviously, [I] admire them so much. They\u2019re gems, but also just really good people.\u201d<\/p>\nOrtega opens up about her \u201cwhat ifs\u201d<\/h2>\n
