Jenna Ortega, Johnny Depp Dating? Wednesday Actress Clears Up Rumors
Rumors are circulating that "Wednesday" actress Jenna Ortega may be dating a man three times her age. That man is rumored to be none other than Johnny Depp.
The actress has finally addressed these rumors on social media.
Both of them were connected through director Tim Burton, who worked with Ortega on Wednesday while the director infamously collaborates with Johnny Depp frequently. Rumors of the relationship were first posted on Reddit and were made stronger by the now-defunct rumors regarding Ortega appearing with Amber Heard's ex-husband in the upcoming "Beetlejuice 2" film.
However, the young actress shot down these rumors on social media, saying, "This is so ridiculous I can't even laugh. I have never met or worked with Johnny Depp in my life. Please stop spreading lies and leave us alone."
According to Inside The Magic, Ortega emphasized that the rumors are false by adding a facepalm emoji and also the hashtag #FakeNews. The actress has previously expressed her frustration with rumors surrounding her love life, even debunking many of them.
Johnny Depp Also Responds to Rumors That He Is Dating Jenna Ortega
Jenna Ortega is only 20 years old, while Johnny Depp is already 60 years old and a senior citizen, so when rumors of them dating popped up, it raised several eyebrows.
While Ortega chose to respond to the rumors on social media, it was a representative of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor who released a statement for him. Like Ortega, the representative also denied that the two actors were dating.

He is not involved in any project with her, nor does he intend to be. He is appalled by these baseless and malicious rumors that are intended to harm his reputation and career."
Cinema Blend noted that the two actors are hoping that their respective statements would quiet down the rumors as both claimed that they have not even met yet.
Both are still very busy with their careers as Depp is mounting a comeback while Ortega has a slew of new projects, including the second season of "Wednesday."
