The movie, which chronicles the kidnapping of Fanning’s character, equal parts frightened and fascinated Ortega.
“I was happy sitting and dissecting that movie over and over again,” Ortega said.
“I couldn’t fathom how someone so young could do something that would scare me so aggressively.
But I also loved the way that it made me feel.
I decided that’s what I was passionate about.”
A younger Ortega even reached out to one of Obama’s close friends to try and meet him.
I watched the inauguration with goo-goo eyes on my face."
Unsurprisingly, Ortega’s answer was, “Michelle [Obama] and Barack Obama.”
Perhaps one day Ortega and Barack could finally meet.
Or, maybe even better, they could collaborate.
