Celebrity rumors often spark public intrigue, and recent speculation about Johnny Depp, 61, and Jenna Ortega, 21, was no different.
Whispers of a romantic connection and potential collaboration between Depp, a Hollywood icon, and Ortega, the breakout star of *Wednesday*, quickly caught fire.
The buzz began when DeuxMoi, a celebrity gossip account, claimed the pair had been spotted together, linking them to Tim Burton’s *Beetlejuice* sequel, where Ortega stars.
However, Ortega addressed the rumors with humor, stating she has never even met Depp. Co-star Richard E. Grant also joked about the claims, further underscoring their absurdity.
Depp’s team released a strong statement denying any connection, clarifying that he has no personal or professional relationship with Ortega and condemning the rumors as harmful to his reputation.
As Ortega’s career continues to soar—bolstered by her role in the highly anticipated *Beetlejuice* sequel—Depp remains in the public eye for both his artistic work and personal life.
In the end, the speculation was nothing more than unfounded gossip. Both actors have left the rumors behind, focusing instead on their respective careers and achievements. This incident highlights how quickly misinformation can spread in the digital age.
