Isaac Ordonez, the young actor who brought Pugsley Addams to life in Netflix's smash-hit series Wednesday, has opened up about his transformative journey from a reserved child to a budding Hollywood sensation.
In a candid interview, the 14-year-old star revealed how landing the role opposite Jenna Ortega (who plays Wednesday Addams) changed his life forever. "I was really shy before this," Ordonez admitted. "But playing Pugsley helped me break out of my shell."
From Audition Nerves to Netflix Fame
Ordonez recalled his nerve-wracking audition process for Tim Burton's dark comedy, which became one of Netflix's most-watched shows. "I didn't think I stood a chance," he confessed. "When I got the call that I'd been cast, I screamed so loud my mum thought I'd hurt myself!"
Life After Wednesday
Since the show's explosive success, Ordonez has been navigating newfound fame while balancing schoolwork. "It's weird when people recognise me now," he shared. "But I'm just trying to stay grounded and focus on my next projects."
The young actor remains tight-lipped about potential season 2 details but hinted at exciting developments for Pugsley's character arc.
