Jenna Ortega met Beetlejuice before she met Michael Keaton on the set of Tim Burton’s highly anticipated “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.” During an interview on “The Tonight Snow,” Ortega was asked what it was like meeting an icon like Keaton for the first time, while he plays one of his most iconic characters. The answer is scary.

"He came after me," Ortega said. "I was getting a hair and makeup test, and I got tapped on the shoulder and I turned around and it was definitely a jump scare. He was like, 'Oh, I'm Michael,' and he had mold peeling off his face."

“I pretended to be cool and then I was cool until I met him for the second time, without hair and makeup, because I reintroduced myself because I forgot I had already met him,” Ortega added with a laugh.
