Wednesday Addam’s star Jenna Ortega has been enjoying Glasgow’s scenery as she walked her dog in and around the city centre. 

The 22 year old Netflix star, who has now arrived in Glasgow to film alongside on JJ Abrams new movie Ghost Writer alongside Glen Powell and Samuel L Jackson, even kept in character as she took a tour of Glasgow’s spooky Necropolis graveyard alongside Dave Grohl’s daughter Harper. 

Although she’s not yet been spotted on set, the actress and her prized pooch Stinky, named on account of his wind problem, decided to take in some of the city’s famous sights during some precious time off before filming. 

Jenna looked relaxed in her all black ensemble as she first posed in pictures with a group of friends who met her on her travels at the famed Glasgow Necropolis graveyard which was recently featured in the Batman movie. 

 The 22-year-old, who has been acting since 2012, became a household name thanks to her part in Netflix comedy series Wednesday based on her Addams Family character that reached screens in 2022.

Dave Grohls second eldest daughter Harper,16, who is thought to have been visiting Glasgow separately is an accomplished drummer and had joined her father onstage at gigs before. 

Jenna told her and the group that she was exploring the city during her break before shooting at 10pm. 

Courtney Baw, who was there with friends told her followers on TikTok that Jenna was so sweet and cute. She added: “Harper is our lovely friend. She’s just visiting.”

Asked if the picture of Jenna was real she added: “It's real Imao shes shooting a film here! We met her on her break. Yes! She was on her break till 10pm. She said we all looked so cool and she complimented my friends shirt!”

Asked the name of Jenna’s dog she added: “It’s stinky.”

Jenna also decided to take a stroll around the city centre, circling Blytheswood Square, Pitt Street and West George Street with her beloved dog. 

She is also set to appear alongside Sex Education’s Emma Mackey in the film, Abram's first since his 2019 Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker,l. It is said to be inspired by The Last Starfighter - a 1984 space movie about a video game player who is recruited to join an interstellar battle against alien forces.

The Warner Bros production was in Edinburgh and has now been filming long shoots into the early hours of the morning in Glasgow in the street around Douglas Street and will continue to film there until June 23. 

Sets include dystopian Asian style restaurants with futuristic vehicles and although Samuel L Jackson has not yet been seen, Glen Powell has been spotted running up hills and walking along pavements in character.

Director JJ Abrams said he was enjoying his time  shooting in Glasgow after being here secretly to check out locations during Glasgow Film Festival. He was also thrilled when one fan congratulated him on his popstar daughter Gracie Abrams success. 

EXCLUSIVE PICS OF TRAINSPOTTING STAR EWEN BREMNER IN NEW CREATION MOVIE

THESE are the first on set pictures in Glasgow of Alan McGee’s new Creation Stories movie about his life and signing of Britain’s biggest Rock band of all time Oasis.
The film which documents the story of how East Kilbride born former British Rail store clerk Alan, now 58, rose to fame as  Scotland’s most successful music mogul working with bands like Jesus and The Mary Chain and Primal Scream began shooting its famous scenes in Glasgow this week with Trainspotting actor Ewen Bremner in the lead role of McGee. 
As well as filming at music venue King Tuts Wah Wah Hut where Alan first discovered Manchester lads Liam and Noel Gallagher in May 1993 after they demanded to be added to the line up alongside the band Alan was meant to be seeing, scenes also took place at Glasgow’s Necropolis graveyard and the city centre’s Hope Street. 
The biopic produced by Danny Boyle with a script by Irvine Welsh will follow the life of Alan and the highs and lows of a career that took him to 10 Downing Street as an ambassador for Cool Britannia but also saw him nearly die from a drugs overdose.
It will also tell of his bemusement at having US President Bill Clinton staying over at his home – and his encounter with disgraced DJ Jimmy Savile at the Chequers residence of the Prime Minister.
Far from portraying a sanitised version of his life, the new film depicts beatings McGee received from his father as well as his preoccupation with the occult.
In scenes shot in the Necropolis this week Ewen Bremner can be seen carrying a book of rituals after performing a ceremony in his cloak and hat at the graveyard. 
Alan has long had a fixation with occultist Alistair Crowley and said: ”It’s like religion to me. Everyone told me not to get into him. And then I went away and read the books and found he was a genius. I started doing magic and it started working for me. So I was like: F*ck, this is amazing.”
It also sees a young McGee played by former Waterloo actor Leo Flannigan strolling through the graveyard alongside his young wife to be played by Irish actress Seana Kerslake. 
Later scenes also see Ewen outside King Tuts embroiled in deep conversation following his discovery of Oasis. 
Jason Isaac's, Ed Byrne, Paul Kaye, Perry Benson and Suki Waterhouse also feature in the movie.
