One of the most memorable scenes of the first season was the scene where Wandinha creates a unique choreography during the ball. To the tunes of The Cramps’ “Goo Goo Muck,” Ortega shows off his skills in front of the cameras.
Despite the success, the actress revealed in an interview with NME that she was ill with Covid and had to take medication between breaks in filming.
“I got the song like a week early and just got it out of everything I could… it’s crazy because it was my first day with COVID so it was awful to shoot,” he began.
“Yeah, I woke up and — it’s weird, I never get sick and when I do, it’s not that bad — I had a body ache.”
The actress stressed that she is awaiting the test result as MGM followed strict security protocols during the shoot. Once the result was confirmed, the actress was removed from the set.
“They gave me medicine between takes because we were waiting for the positive result. I felt like I had been hit by a car and a little goblin had gotten loose in my throat and was scratching the walls of my esophagus.”
This means that Ortega was ill when he shot the scene, but he managed to give a great performance.
