• Jenna Ortega addresses Johnny Depp dating rumors
  • The actress sets the record straight
  • She opens up in new interview
It all started when a post on 'Deuxmoi' hinted at Ortega and Depp being spotted together, fueling rumors of a potential collaboration on 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.' Despite the frenzy, Ortega was quick to clarify, "I never spoke on that. I never said anything like that." The actress recounted a moment on set where the rumor was brought up, leading to laughter, given she "doesn't know that person."

Johnny Depp's representatives were equally forthright, stating, "Mr. Depp has no personal or professional relationship with Miss Ortega whatsoever." They emphasized the actor's dismay over the "baseless and malicious rumors" aimed at tarnishing his reputation.

Ortega's stand against false narratives

Amidst the chaos, Ortega allegedly took to Instagram Stories to deny the relationship, urging an end to the lies and emphasizing that she had "never met or worked with Johnny Depp in my life." Although the post was reportedly deleted, the message was clear: Ortega wanted the baseless speculation to cease.

Despite the rumors, Ortega's career continues to soar. She's currently promoting her latest movie, which interestingly does not feature Depp. Additionally, her portrayal of Lydia Deetz's daughter, Astrid, in a recent project has both terrified and excited her, marking a significant milestone in her acting journey.

Winona Ryder, who originally played Lydia, expressed her initial reservations about her character having a family but found solace after bonding with Ortega and appreciating the new narrative direction.
