‘Wednesday’ Star Jenna Ortega Stopped Being Vegan To Film Netflix Show

'Wednesday' star Jenna Ortega admitted to abandoning her vegan diet while filming the hit Netflix show in Romania. The 20-year-old actor cited difficulty meeting her nutrient requirements as the reason for reintroducing fish into her diet, making her currently pescatarian.

Despite the common misconception that being vegan leads to deficiencies, it is possible to get all the necessary nutrients on a plant-based diet. Some speculated that Ortega might have accidentally become deficient in something and resorted to fish as a solution. The success of 'Wednesday' on Netflix, becoming the streaming service's third most-watched English-language show ever, highlights the popularity of the series.
