Christina Ricci [1] is not impressed by her performance in 1995's "Casper." [2] In an Aug. 15 appearance on Marc Maron's podcast "WTF," [3] the 42-year-old actor confessed she feels she was simply awful in the film.

"If you actually watch 'Casper,' I'm terrible," she said. Fortunately, she doesn't think the movie itself is bad — just her. "People get so upset when I say that. And I'm like, 'No, it's a wonderful movie," she added. "It's a childhood treasure. But I am terrible in it.'"

Apparently, tween angst had something to do with her percieved poor performance. "There was a lot going on in my [life]," she explained. "Everything was very difficult. I was always annoyed, and I just don't think I tried very hard, to tell you the truth. Embarrassingly, I don't think I tried as hard as maybe I should have."

The actor, who was 13 when the movie began filming, said that when she watched the movie with her 8-year-old son, Freddie, she cringed. "I remember thinking, 'Wow. OK. That was not a believable line-reading at all. Just no commitment,'" she continued.

Ricci does feel more connected to her iconic performance as Wednesday Addams in "The Addams Family," [4] however. "I feel very inextricably bound to her, because I feel, like, who can say how much influence being that person at that age for the amount of time that I was her, the amount of positive reinforcement from playing that character," she said in a 2018 interview with The A.V. Club [5].

The youngest Addams Family member is getting new life in Tim Burton's "Wednesday," [6] which just released a trailer [7] and which stars Jenna Ortega [8] as the titular goth icon. Ricci will also appear in the spinoff, though her role has not yet been revealed.
