Catherine Zeta-Jones hails 'amazing' Jenna Ortega
The 55-year-old actress stars alongside Jenna, 22, in the new season of Wednesday, and Catherine has praised her co-star's professional approach to their sword fight scene.
She told People: "We did rehearse it. It's like choreography and stunts.
"You know, we have to be careful. These are real weapons we're working with."
Catherine observed that Jenna made time in her busy schedule so that they could prepare properly for the scene.
The actress - who plays Morticia Addams on the hit Netflix show - said: "She'd find time in her schedule, which is a much bigger schedule than mine, to come and rehearse with me, and then we worked it with the stunt coordinator, and it turned out really fabulous."
Catherine has also praised Luis Guzman, who plays Gomez Addams, for his pre-shoot preparations.
The duo teamed-up to perform a tango, and Catherine revealed that Luis "just really worked hard".
She shared: "We used to rehearse the four scenes outside, dodging the rain, sometimes in Ireland, in gravel to keep it every day, to keep it fresh. Because, of course, we learned it at the beginning of the show. We weren't shooting it for weeks, three months later. So to keep it fresh and to remember our moves every now and again, we just jump together and we do it. And we laughed."
Meanwhile, Jenna previously revealed that she became an "unhappy person" after season one of Wednesday.
The actress plays Wednesday Addams in the Netflix show, but Jenna initially struggled to cope with the pressures of fame and success.
She told Harper's Bazaar magazine: "To be quite frank, after the show and trying to figure everything out, I was an unhappy person.
"After the pressure, the attention - as somebody who's quite introverted, that was so intense and so scary."
Jenna now serves as a producer on Wednesday and she's loving the experience of having a hands-on role with the show.
Jenna - who has become one of the most sought-after stars in Hollywood in recent years - said: "I sit in on meetings and listen and learn. I'm still finding my footing in that area."

Ana de Armas 'is ready to work with Tom Cruise'
Ana de Armas "loves spending time" with Tom Cruise. The 37-year-old actress was recently spotted in Vermont - where she owns a property - with her co-star, and Ana relished spending some quality time with Tom, 63. A source told People: "She loves spending time with Tom." Ana and Tom are working together on Deeper, an upcoming supernatural ocean thriller film, and they've both been preparing for the project in recent weeks. The insider explained: "Now, they are still very focused on kicking off their new project together. It's a very important project for both of them. They'll have an intense shooting schedule, but they are ready." Ana is also excited to work with the Hollywood icon for the first time in her career. The source added: "It's her first time working with Tom and she wants to bring her best. "She knows Tom has high standards on set, but she's ready for the challenge." Meanwhile, Zoe Zilian, the owner of Au Comptoir in Woodstock, in Vermont, recently revealed that Ana "blends right in beautifully" with the locals. The actress actually enjoys living in the small town, away from the bright lights of Hollywood. Zoe told Us Weekly: "I think it's a great town here for her to be in. "Funny enough, I think as big of a celebrity she is, there's a lot of people here that are just kind of out of the know, and they're not really, I guess, so much wrapped up in that." Zoe observed that Ana is surprisingly low-key, given her level of fame and success. She shared: "You wouldn't even think that she was a celebrity. "You just think she's just like any other customer, and she blends right in beautifully, and a lovely human being. She's been so nice, always. I always have great conversations with her and it's very just, [she's] treated like she's just another visitor, another guest in the town. It's kind of like how we like to treat all of our customers anyway, just with great hospitality and just like everyone equally."

John Cena assumed he was destined for success
John Cena thought his wrestling career guaranteed him success in the movie business. The 48-year-old actor became a global star through his work in the WWE in the early 2000s, and John assumed the he would replicate that success in Hollywood. He told People: "I was run out of the movie business in 2009 for doing bad movies where I wasn't present." John - whose film credits include Trainwreck, Bumblebee, and F9 - now admits that his assumptions were misguided. The wrestler-turned-actor said: "I thought that just because I wore a golden leather belt on Monday and Friday, they'd come see whatever I'm doing. It's not true." John is famed for his muscular physique, and the wrestling legend actually began his fitness journey at the age of 13. John had to contend with bullying during his teenage years, and those experiences taught him some important life lessons. He said: "I doubled down on being myself. And as a 12-, 13-, 14-year-old that doesn't even have a fully formed mind yet, I just knew, 'Hey, man, don't waver. Just be you.' That's what helped me." Last year, John revealed that he intends to be "physically active" for as long as possible. The movie star has pushed himself to his physical limits throughout his life, and John doesn't have any intention of slowing down anytime soon. He told People: "When I was a young 12-year-old, it was to look muscular so I couldn't get beat up. And then as a late teen, it was to be strong so I could play sports. And then as a young 20-something, I wanted to aesthetically look good just to keep myself disciplined." John now has different reasons for working out. However, he intends to remain active "into [his] late 80s or 90s". He said: "At 47 now, my goal is to be physically active until I can't. I put a number in my head of like, I'd like to be physically active into my late 80s or 90s. To do a parallel squat in my late 80s."

‘Ordinary': Mixed reviews as Netflix finally releases ‘Wednesday' season 2
Don't miss out on the headlines from Entertainment. Followed categories will be added to My News. It was perhaps a near-impossible feat for Netflix to top the dizzying highs of Wednesday's first season, which still ranks as the streamer's most-watched show of all time. Yet three years after viewers were first introduced to Tim Burton's macabre thriller centred around Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), it seems for some, the wait wasn't worth it. The streamer finally released part one of Wednesday's second season on August 6, with the first four episodes generating a deeply divided reaction among fans and critics. Jenna Ortega returns as Wednesday Addams in Netflix's global smash hit, Wednesday. Picture: Netflix 2025 While there's yet again wide praise for Ortega's performance, the key takeaway is the character becomes lost in a convoluted plot with an overcrowded cast. Season two picks up back at Nevermore Academy, where Wednesday is – to her disdain – the toast of the school after her murder-solving exploits last season. The Hollywood Reporter was among the most scathing of reviews, criticising the unmemorable screenplay, and the bolstered roles of the entire Addams family, including Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez), Morticia (Catherine Zeta Jones) and Gomez (Luis Guzman). 'I can't think of any more damning criticism for these four new episodes of Wednesday than that, just two days after watching them, I legitimately can't remember anything that Wednesday is trying to accomplish this season, nor any single withering line of dialogue,' wrote reviewer Daniel Fienberg. 'Whereas my original review of the first season praised Wednesday for having the restraint and focus to not simply become The Addams Family … Wednesday has simply become The Addams Family,' Fienberg continued. The Addams family members have more prominent roles in season two, with Joonas Suotamo as Lurch, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams, and Luis Guzman as Gomez Addams. Picture: Netflix 2025 The LA Times, meanwhile, ruled season two failed to 'recapture the magic' of its debut. 'It's impossible to recapture the magic of the first season, and Wednesday Season 2 isn't quite as crisp or surprising,' wrote culture critic Lorraine Ali. 'In the first four episodes made available for review, Wednesday's zingers aren't as wickedly sharp as they once were. And because we know she's going to be annoyed by her classmates, such as perky werewolf roommate Enid (Emma Myers), the dynamic is not as morbidly charming.' IndieWire described the plot as 'so ordinary', while lamenting several 'lazy' one-liners. 'Wednesday's dry, morbid humour is, at best, noticeable, but too often forgettable and sometimes actively lazy,' the outlet's review read. 'While arguably inconsequential in the long run, the faux pas exemplifies Wednesday's priorities: all looks and little else. 'The absent attention to detail beyond what's stylish, combined with the neat-and-tidy aesthetic mandated for broadly appealing teen dramas, puts the focus back on what Season 2 is trying to say, which isn't much.' Legendary US director Tim Burton shot the first four episodes of Wednesday. Picture: Stephane De Sakutin/ AFP On the flip side, Variety was much more positive in its assessment, writing the show offered 'the same visual delights that have made all of Burton's worlds so fascinating.' 'With the Addams family getting increased screen time, several layered enigmas, and Ortega leading the charge, the show is still as twisted, enticing and devour-able as it was when it first debuted three years ago,' penned critic Aramide Tinubu. The Telegraph gave it four out of five stars, declaring the second outing offered 'both substance and style.' 'Netflix has given the series every chance with glittering additions to the ensemble and a twisting, turning storyline, full of homicidal crows and dark family secrets. A near three-year delay would have killed off a lesser show, but Wednesday's murderously enjoyable second season proves worth the wait.' Part two of the season, which hits the platform September 3, has already generated considerable buzz thanks to a solid cliffhanger and an anticipated A-list cameo from Lady Gaga. Wednesday season 2, part 1 is now streaming on Netflix. Originally published as Mixed reviews as Netflix finally releases season 2 of global smash 'Wednesday'
