Jenna Ortega Puts an End to Johnny Depp Dating Rumours with a Laugh
Jenna Ortega swiftly dismissed dating rumours about her and Johnny Depp while promoting her film “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.” She expressed her amusement at the false claims during an interview, clarifying that they do not have any relationship, personal or professional. Depp’s team has also denied the baseless gossip, asserting he has never met Ortega.
Jenna Ortega, the 21-year-old rising star, is batting away persistent whispers suggesting she’s dating the 61-year-old Johnny Depp. While promoting her new flick, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” Jenna set the record straight during a chit-chat with BuzzFeed Celeb, exclaiming the speculation was bonkers. “It’s so insane to me. I never spoke on that; I never said anything like that,” the “Wednesday” star quipped, aiming to clear the air.
The swirling gossip originated from DeuxMoi, a celebrity gossip haven, where it suggested that Jenna and Johnny were canoodling on set of the upcoming “Beetlejuice” sequel. Well, Jenna is in the film, playing the daughter of Winona Ryder’s character, but as for Johnny, he’s as absent as a chocolate teapot! Jenna found the rumours outrageous, chuckling, “Articles really do just make up their own quotes – but I thought that was pretty hilarious.”
Even Richard E. Grant, her co-star from another film, was caught in the rumour mill, cheekily asking, “So, you and Johnny?” Jenna’s response? A hearty laugh, claiming, “I don’t know that person.” Clearly, the only thing she shares with Depp is a shared director – Tim Burton – who’s perpetually busy!
With Johnny Depp having starred in eight Tim Burton masterpieces and Jenna already starring in Burton’s “Wednesday” and the new “Beetlejuice,” it’s easy to see how confusion could arise. But hold your horses! A spokesperson for Depp confirmed that he’s not even in the same hemisphere as this rumour, stating to NME, “Mr. Depp has no personal or professional relationship with Ms. Ortega whatsoever. He has never met her or spoken to her… These are baseless and malicious rumors intended to harm his reputation.”
In a nutshell, Jenna Ortega is not dating Johnny Depp, despite wild whispers and celebrity gossip. She finds these swirling tales absurd and affirms she’s focused on her work, not on romance with the 61-year-old pirate. With a clear denial from Depp’s camp, it’s safe to say these rumors are flatter than a pancake. So, let’s pop the popcorn for “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” without the messy romantic subplot of Depp and Ortega!
