Jenna Ortega recently shared a heartwarming anecdote about her special bond with the late Cameron Boyce. Ortega revealed that during an audition, Boyce, whom she had known since she was 11 or 12, was supposed to kiss her for a scene when he was 15. However, both actors felt uncomfortable due to their age gap and decided not to go through with it, showing their mutual respect and maturity.
Ortega's co-stars from 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' described Boyce as a 'gentleman,' a sentiment that Ortega echoed. Tragically, Boyce passed away shortly after this incident in July 2019 at the age of 20 due to an epileptic seizure. His spokesperson confirmed that Boyce died peacefully in his sleep as a result of an ongoing medical condition.
