Jenna Ortega’s Entertaining Encounter with Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice on The Tonight Show

Jenna Ortega recently shared a laugh-out-loud anecdote on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, recounting her spine-chilling yet comical encounter with Michael Keaton dressed as Beetlejuice. The young actress, known for her role in "Wednesday," found herself hilariously s****ed when Keaton, in full Beetlejuice costume, made his grand entrance on set.

During a segment on the show, Fallon eagerly asked Ortega about the atmosphere when Keaton arrived in character. Ortega recalled the moment vividly, describing how she was undergoing a hair and makeup test when she felt a tap on her shoulder. Turning around, she was met with a terrifying yet iconic sight—Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice, complete with molds peeling off his face.

"It was a jump scare for sure," Ortega admitted, though she tried to play it cool. The real humor unfolded later when she encountered Keaton again, this time out of makeup. Forgetting she had already met him in his Beetlejuice guise, she introduced herself once more, only to realize her blunder.

The Tonight Show audience, along with host Jimmy Fallon, couldn't contain their laughter as Ortega recounted, "You didn’t meet Michael Keaton, you met Beetlejuice."

Jenna Ortega's story is a testament to the enduring impact of Keaton's performance as Beetlejuice, a character that continues to send shivers and giggles down spines. For a glimpse of this side-splitting encounter, be sure to catch the full video on The Tonight Show's official platforms.
