Netflix's Wednesday: Here is what the actors look like in real life, and it might surprise you

Since it came out on Netflix on November 23, 2022, Wednesday has been a fan favourite and it has beaten a nice audience record. Costumes, sets, and the whole universe actually, Tim Burton thought of everything to offer dark and rich entertainment. Now, Jenna Ortega and her sidekicks had to have offbeat styles for the needs of the show, but they don't actually look like that in real life.

Actors can sometimes look exactly like their characters in certain series, which can make it difficult for some viewers to tell their real selves apart from their characters. This is not the case for the Wednesday cast, as they all look quite different from their characters on screen. The series is set in a very peculiar universe, which explains why the characters' styles had to be eccentric. However, actors from the series, do not wear the same clothes in their everyday lives.

The success of Wednesday on Netflix

341.23 million. This is how many hours of viewing the Netflix show Wednesday has amassed in its first week on the platform, from November 21 to November 27, 2022. The Tim Burton show, which puts forward the Addams family, is a real success and attracts more and more viewers as time goes on. Although Addams family fans highly expected this series for the end of 2022, most people said they could not have imagined falling under Wednesday Addams' spell, played by Jenna Ortega. The young actress, revealed in Disney Channel's Harley, was able to penetrate Tim Burton's mind and impress the audience with her acting skills.
