Jenna Ortega Says Cameron Boyce Stopped an Audition Where They Were Supposed to Kiss as Teens and Felt ‘Uncomfortable’: ‘No, We Can’t Do This’

> “The last time I saw my friend Cameron Boyce — I’d known him since I was like 11 or 12, and we were supposed to kiss [in an audition] and he knew me, since I was 11 or 12,” Ortega told her co-stars. “This is a few years later, 15 or 16, we came in and we were supposed to be love interests. But because he obviously felt weird and he was a bit older, he was like — we both just kinda looked at each other and we were like, ‘No, we can’t do this.’”

> “He was so sweet because I was uncomfortable and I was having a hard time,” Ortega added, noting that she was “really thankful and grateful” that Boyce spoke up during the audition and put her comfortability above landing the job. “And then, we wished each other well.”
