Jenna Ortega Addresses 'Insane' Johnny Depp Dating Rumors
HuffPost
The "Wednesday" star still can't believe last year's speculation that she was dating the actor, who is 40 years her senior.
Jenna Ortega is still perplexed by one particular rumor — and is once again shutting it down.
The “Wednesday” star went viral last summer after celebrity gossip account Deux Moi falsely reported that she and fellow actor Johnny Depp, 61, were spotted on a date. While both parties denied it immediately, the rumor still baffles Ortega.
“It’s so insane to me,” the actor, 21, told BuzzFeed, HuffPost’s parent company, in a puppy-laden interview on Monday.
“I was on set with Richard E. Grant, and he came up to me and he just said, ‘Oh, so you and Johnny?’” Ortega explained, referring to their upcoming “Death of a Unicorn” collaboration. “And I laughed because I… I don’t know that person.”
Ortega has been a professional actor for more than a decade but landed her breakthrough role in the gothic Netflix series “Wednesday,” which was produced and partially directed by Tim Burton, whose 1990 film “Edward Scissorhands” helped make Depp a star.
