Wednesday star Emma Myers' off-screen life from overcoming bullies to being 'introvert'
The much-anticipated second season of Wednesday is set to hit Netflix on August 6, with the chilling trailer revealing a glimpse into Wednesday Addams' (portrayed by Jenna Ortega) premonition of Enid Sinclair's demise.
The gripping trailer has unleashed a flurry of fan theories, placing actress Emma Myers at the epicentre of the unfolding drama. Amongst the speculation is the potential for a dramatic encounter between Wednesday and a former adversary.
Emma Myers, the 23 year old American starlet, embarked on her acting journey as a child in 2010 with a guest appearance on The Glades. Hailing from Florida and sandwiched between two sisters, she was home-educated during her formative years, an experience that led her to confess to Teen Vogue that she missed out on conventional school life.
Yet, it was during her middle school years that she found solace and self-expression in emo and alternative music, resonating with bands like Twenty One Pilots, Panic at the Disco, and Fall Out Boy.
Reflecting on her past, she shared with Teen Vogue how her intense passion for this subculture set her apart from her peers, saying: "I was kind of an outsider because I was into things more than the normal kid would be," and added, "And I got bullied for it."
With time, her perspective has matured, and she now offers a more philosophical take on personal happiness: "Some people can't let go of the fact that people enjoy things that make them happy."
Her professional acting career took off at 16, leading to roles in productions such as A Taste of Christmas and Girl in the Basement.
It was her portrayal of the tardy werewolf Enid in Netflix's Wednesday that catapulted her to fame, although she has also been featured in several other Netflix projects.
She featured in the comedy film Family Switch, sharing the screen with Jennifer Garner, Ed Helms, and Brady Noon, and took on the lead role in A Good Girl's Guide to Murder. The latter is currently available on Netflix and has garnered international acclaim.
Despite portraying Wednesday's best mate in Netflix's adaptation of the Addams Family, she confessed that she identifies more with Wednesday herself.
In a chat with Elite Daily, she revealed: "I would consider myself more a Wednesday because I am very introverted and I don't have a lot of energy.
"Enid's very, very energetic and loves talking to people, while I, on the other hand, get really nervous."
Wednesday season 2 premieres on Netflix on August 6

Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Jack included a video compilation of him and his late father together Credit: Instagram 4 Ozzy's son said 'My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude' Credit: Instagram The Black Sabbath legend, who died on July 22, was laid to rest next to the lake in his Buckinghamshire home last Thursday. Ozzy's youngest son shared a short video compilation of clips and photographs of himself and his father. He took to social media this morning after staying quiet in the wake of his dad's death. Jack said: "I haven't really wanted to post anything since the passing of my father. "My heart has hurt too much. I'm gonna keep this short because he certainly hated long rambling speeches. "He was so many things to so many people, but I was so lucky and blessed to be apart of a very small group that got to call him Dad.' "My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude. "I got 14,501 days with that man and I know that is such a blessing. I think this quote best describes my father." The tribute was followed by a quote from Hunter S. Thompson, known for writing Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. It read: "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body... but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow! What a ride!'" Jack went on to say that the quote from the American author summed up his dad, adding "he lived his life fully." The legendary rocker passed away just weeks after he took to the stage one final time at Villa Park in Birmingham. 4 Jack Osbourne is Ozzy's youngest child Credit: Instagram

A Fringe performer has told how he discovered he is to appear in the quarter finals of America's Got Talent - while walking on Salisbury Crags in Edinburgh. Improv rapper Chris Turner, who is from the UK but is now based in New York, said he had decided to enter the competition after getting his American citizenship. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad He said: ' I am American now, I've got citizenship. So I entered the competition, and I did my audition in front of Simon Cowell and Scary Spice, Mel B. I got four yeses, but that doesn't necessarily mean you actually get a yes to appear in the live quarter finals, but I just got the phone call saying I am through, which is very exciting and a very big deal.' He said he had been walking on Salisbury Crags, near Arthur's Seat, when the call came. He said: 'They called, me, I was walking along Salisbury Crags, it was very picturesque. Actually, it was a good moment. They're like, 'You're through to the live quarterfinals'. But I couldn't hear them.' He said he had hoped he would make it through, but had not been confident. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'I had a really good audition, the crowd loved it, he said. But you put it on TV, you don't know how the audience will receive it, you don't know whether they think it's a fix.' He was told he was the first freestyle rapper ever to appear on the show in its 20 year history. Chris Turner is to appear on America's Got Talent. | Chris Turner 'I was improvising my whole audition, and they were like: 'You sure you want to do that?' I said, 'no, I'll make it up. They told me, 'This could end terribly.' 'Fortunately, it went perfectly. It just made for good television. So I've got to go back now and do it again and try not to mess up, which is the constant fear. So, I consider Edinburgh as training. I do 25 shows, six or seven raps a show.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad He is flying to LA to film the show as soon as the Fringe is over. He hopes the show will give a boost to his career in the US. 'Now, I finish my run here on the last day of the Fringe, and then I go on a plane to LA to do my next round,' he said. However, he is reticent to tell his Fringe audiences about his appearance on the show - something he says he would not do if he was touring in the US. 'If I walk out and I'm like, 'Hey guys, I'm on America's Got Talent', I think people are going look around and go, 'Well, why are you in a half empty Portacabin in Edinburgh? They're not going to go for that. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'America is different. My first three jokes in any British comedy club would be to make fun of how I look, whereas in America, I tried that once and someone in the front went, 'No, we believe in you'. It's the worst.'
