We know perfectly well that our readers are up to date with trends in social networks and outside of them, because now with the great popularity of the Netflix series merlin they have taken flight with the tests of personality, themed parties, dances and, of course, they are very attentive to all the details, eagerly awaiting a second season.
One of the most viral dances on TikTok is the one starring Jenna Ortega, who gives life to the mysterious Merlina in the series. Throughout interviews, the actress confessed that she created the choreography that we saw on the screen, but that is not the only secret hidden in this scene, since recently the protagonist of the Show by Tim Burton claimed that during the dance, she was sick with covid-19.
In an interview she gave to NME, the actress opened up about the moment they shot the most iconic scene of the season and admitted that she did the steps. In addition, she assured that she filmed her on the first day of the illness.
I choreographed that myself! I’m not a dancer and I’m sure that’s obvious. They gave me the song about a week before and I pulled out of everything I could… it’s crazy because it was my first day with covid-19, so it was horrible to film it.
The young woman assures that although it is very rare for her to get sick, that day she woke up with a lot of discomfort, because her body ached, as if “a car had run over her” and as if “a goblin had come loose in her throat and It will scratch the walls of the esophagus.
They were giving me medicine between takes because we were waiting for the positive result.
It is worth mentioning that once they had the results of the actress, the producer MGM assured that all the protocols established with cases of covid-19 were followed and they began removing her from the recording set.
What must be recognized is the great result that the scene had, because although she wanted to do it again, they did not allow it for reasons of time, although Jenna assures that she could have done it much better. However, we believe that this is not necessary, since the scene and the dance have become very popular, so much so that on TikTok they are the number one trend.
