A recent event for Wednesday Season 2 held in Australia brought together key cast and crew members, including star Jenna Ortega and supporting actress Gwendoline Christie. Photos of the two side by side quickly caught attention online due to their striking height difference, sparking humorous comparisons. One viral post joked that Ortega resembled Christie’s plush toy companion, a Labubu—an adorable and quirky toy currently popular in pop culture.
To put it in perspective, Jenna Ortega stands at about 5’1”, placing her among the shorter adult celebrities, while Gwendoline Christie is an impressive 6’3”, making her presence towering at any event. The height gap was apparent not only between the two but also in group photos where Christie clearly stood out by how much taller she was compared to other cast members.
Although the Labubu comparison became a popular and amusing observation on social media, it’s clear that Ortega’s expression during the photo seemed more in character, reflecting her famously unenthusiastic portrayal of Wednesday Addams.
Labubus themselves have recently become a trending fashion accessory, and Christie’s striking look at the event made some wonder if she might consider teaming up for a Wednesday-themed Labubu line—a concept combining two cultural favorites that could delight fans.
Regarding Wednesday Season 2, while Christie’s character died in Season 1, show creators acknowledged that removing the character was a misstep, leading to her surprising return in the latest season. Fans eagerly await the continuation of the series; the first half of Season 2 is available now, with the second half scheduled for release in early September 2025.
