At 21 years old, Jenna Ortega already has a lot of pressure to bear. Having appeared in successful films such as the Screams saga, the actress is also expected in the sequel to Beetlejuice by Tim Burton, and must continue to carry the Netflix series Wednesday. She must also face the malevolence of the internet, which has literally pushed her to leave the social networkX, and even face crazy rumors, like the one about her alleged relationship with Johnny Depp.
jenna ortega and johnny depp in a relationship?
We must believe that in 2024, the world of “people” is still as fascinating, even if no one wants to admit it. If this were not the case, how could we explain that not a week – or even a day – goes by without wild rumors spreading about this or that celebrity? Following the success of season 1 of the series Wednesday, on Netflix, It is the young actress aged 21 Jenna Ortega who has been the subject of a surprising rumor: she would be in a relationship with Johnny Depp, forty years her senior. But how did Internet users come to think this?
It is always difficult to know how a rumor was born, but it would seem that it was in particular the Instagram account Deux Moi that participated in popularizing it.This one is however known for being unreliable, but people like to believe what suits them. However, nothing, a priori, suggests that Jenna Ortega and Johnny Depp are a couple, and no photo allows us to attest that they have already met. And this, the interpreter of Wednesday Addams is well aware of it.
a crazy rumor denied again
If they have in common having worked with Tim Burton and that Jenna Ortega will notably reunite with the director for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, sequel to a film in which Johnny Depp played, The two Hollywood stars are not a couple, however. Jenna Ortega had already noted this in September 2023, not without a hint of annoyance: “This is so ridiculous that I can't even laugh about it. I've never met Johnny Depp. I've never worked with him. Stop spreading lies and leave us alone”. Obviously, that wasn't enough to convince everyone, and Ortega therefore added another layer this Monday, in a video for BuzzFeed.
Questioned again about her alleged romantic relationship with Johnny Depp, Jenna Ortega wanted to tell an anecdote on the subject, which she now manages to take it in perspective, and with humor:“I found [this rumor] pretty hilarious. I was on set with [actor] Richard E. Grant, and he came up to me and said, 'Oh, so you and Johnny…'. And I laughed because I don't know this person.”.In addition to not dating the Captain Jack Sparrow actor, Jenna Ortega doesn't even know the actor personally. She therefore denies the rumor one last time: “[I would have said that] I was in a serious relationship with Johnny Depp and that I wanted everyone to leave us alone. It's so insane to me. I never said anything like that.” The message is clear, but it's not certain that it will be heard.
