Jenna Ortega remembers "sweating a lot" when she watched 'Beetlejuice' for the first time.
Jenna Ortega watched the iconic movie as a child
The 21-year-old actress has admitted to feeling terrified of Michael Keaton's character following an encounter with a "drunk Beetlejuice" at a Halloween party.
The Hollywood actress - who stars in the new movie, 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' - told CNN: "I saw the movie when I was about nine or ten at a friend's house.
"I remember sweating a lot because I saw a drunk Beetlejuice costume when I was, like, six years old at a Halloween costume party and he terrified me. It was really bad make-up. He was doing shots in the corner and had the make-up dripping down his neck. The green wig ... it looked insane.
"So then my friend turned the movie on and I saw who it was and it took me right back. It made me really nervous watching it for the first time."
Jenna admitted in August that she actually "got shy" when she met Michael Keaton for the first time.
The actress stars alongside Michael, 72, in 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' and Jenna relished the experience of working with one of her acting heroes.
She told BuzzFeed: "I have been such a fan of Michael Keaton for such a long time that I think actually seeing him in person, I actually went inside myself because ... I weirdly got shy.
"But he's so sweet, he's so funny, so charming, so professional. I feel like I learned so much by even watching him."
Jenna was also amazed by Michael's transformation into the character of Beetlejuice.
She said: "It was so strange to see him become Beetlejuice because he was unrecognisable. It was the first time I'd ever seen someone completely disappear - no bit of themselves involved. So that was pretty special."
