Key Points
Paul Rudd nervously approached Jenna Ortega in London airport
Both actors were preparing for upcoming film projects
Unexpected meeting felt awkward and slightly comedic
Ortega was journaling during their first interaction
The two actors recently worked together on 'Death of a Unicorn', the new comedy-horror film. However, Ortega said that their first-ever interaction was entirely unplanned and unexpected.
"I was writing in my journal and we already knew we were doing the movie together, and I was doing 'Beetlejuice' and you were doing 'Ghostbusters' and we both were in London," she told 'Extra'.
Rudd added: "I saw you sitting there and I'm like, 'Oh, my God, I think we're gonna be working together on this thing pretty soon,' and I went over and said hello, but I wasn't sure if it was you. I walked over - I did that approach like, 'Is that...?' Then I felt a little stalkery."
Ortega recalled being caught off-guard by her co-star.
The actress shared: "I felt like you were standing there for a while because when I write, sometimes, if I don't know what to write and I kind of was getting to the end of my page anyway, I'll just write exactly what's happening in the moment, and I was like, 'Oh, this guy's been staring at the, you know, board for a really long time,' and then I looked up and it was Mr. Rudd."
Rudd continued: "There was that moment where I'm like, 'I think that's Jenna.' I haven't met her and you're in that awkward space where, like, I guess, I'm gonna look at the departure board to make it - in case it's not ... And then finally, you looked up."
She recalled feeling a little "nervous" at the time, reports femalefirst.co.uk,
The 'Wednesday' star said: "I was kind of nervous, I think, because it caught me off guard, and I was kind of in a weird place in my life, so I had a bit of a jump scare."
