Wednesday star Emma Myers' off-screen life from overcoming bullies to being 'introvert'
Netflix star Emma Myers has appeared in a number of shows and films, but she is best known for playing Enid in Wednesday - here's everything you need to know about her 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
