Watch Jenna Ortega smile her way through eating unbearably spicy wings without flinching

by - October 27, 2023

Jenna Ortega already has the last laugh ahead of her upcoming hosting spot on Saturday Night Live, because we’ve never seen anyone ace a scalding gauntlet of hot wings the way the Scream VI star just did as the latest Hot Ones celebrity food victim.


No Scoville unit on the popular web series was too spicy for Ortega’s ice-cold palate, as the self-confessed horror respecter and titular star of Netflix’s Wednesday placidly nibbled her way through an ever-escalating inferno of tearjerking hot sauces.

Well, okay: At one point, Ortega’s eyes maybe, sorta-kinda started to water just a little. But she swatted away each and every one of Hot Ones host Sean Evans’ humorously ill-timed interview questions with total composure…even as Evans himself cast a bleary yearning eye toward the panic button.

How cucumber-cool are we talking? Here’s how Ortega waxed poetic on her favorite Tim Burton project (after Wednesday, of course) — all while extinguishing yet another hot wing sample intended by the show’s creators to totally fry her taste buds:

“I feel like Beetlejuice is a staple, so I’ve always appreciated Beetlejuice,” she said, with nary a hint of heat-induced distress. “But also, when I was younger, I wanted to be one of the aliens from Mars Attacks so bad! But not the Lisa Marie one; the one with the exposed braid. He’s got Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close in there — it’s an incredible movie. I feel like people don’t give it the credit it deserves.”
