What did Jenna say?
During a BuzzFeed Puppy interview, when Jenna was asked about the craziest rumor she’s heard about herself, she said, “Probably that I was in a serious relationship with Johnny Depp, and I wanted everyone to leave us alone. That’s so crazy to me. Like, I’ve never talked about it. I’ve never said anything like that. The articles actually make up their own quotes, but I thought it was so funny.”
She added, “I was on the set with Richard E. Grant and he came up to me and he said, ‘Oh, so you and Johnny?’ And I laughed because I… I don’t know the guy.”
More information
Celebrity gossip account DeuxMoi sparked speculation that Jenna was dating the 60-year-old actor. This garnered widespread attention on social media, where many also wondered if Johnny was starring alongside her in a Tim Burton movie.
Early last year, a representative for the Pirates of the Caribbean star also addressed the dating rumors and said, “Mr. Depp has no personal or professional relationship whatsoever with Ms. Ortega. He has never met or spoken to her. He is not involved in any projects with her, nor does he intend to do so. He is shocked by these baseless and malicious rumors, which are intended to damage his reputation and career.”
Jenna is starring in Beetlejuice, which is set to release in theaters on September 6. It will see Michael Keaton reprising his iconic role 36 years after the 1988 cult original, which was also directed by Tim.
