Jenna Ortega: False love rumor about her and Johnny Depp

Jenna Ortega (21) has described the speculation about a relationship between her and Johnny Depp (61) as the craziest rumor about her. The two actors were neither in a relationship nor had they ever met, as she said in the “. “For me, this is so crazy,” she explained in the video.

“I found it quite funny”

Ortega said she never said anything like that and just wanted to be left alone when the rumors started. “I thought it was pretty funny,” she said, describing a situation while filming “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” (2024). “I was on set with Richard E. Grant and he came up to me and said, ‘Oh, so you and Johnny…’ and I had to laugh because I don’t know this person,” she recalled.

In August 2023, the gossip site “Deuxmoi” spread rumors about a possible liaison between her and the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star. At that time, media speculated that she and Depp would appear together in front of the camera for the sequel to the classic film “Beetlejuice” (1988). According to media reports, Ortega then denied the rumors in her Instagram story.

Depp’s spokesman released a statement

A spokesman for Depp said in a statement that Depp was “appalled by these unfounded and malicious rumors that are intended to damage his reputation and career.” The actor was “not involved in any project with her and has no intention of doing so.”

While Ortega will be seen in “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” from September 12th, Depp is involved in a new project as a director. At the San Sebastián Film Festival he will present the film “Modi – Three Days on the Wing of Madness”. The biographical drama marks the star’s second directorial work.
