Jenna Ortega is still perplexed by one particular notion and is once again debunking it.
The Wednesday actress went viral this summer when celebrity rumor site Deux Moi incorrectly reported that she and fellow actor Johnny Depp, 61, were seen on a date. While both parties immediately dismissed it, Ortega remains perplexed by the rumor.
It's ludicrous to me, the 21-year-old actress told BuzzFeed, HuffPost's parent company, in a puppy-themed interview on Monday.
I was on set with Richard E. Grant when he approached me and said, 'Oh, so you and Johnny?' Ortega elaborated, referring to their upcoming Death of a Unicorn duet. I laughed since I didn't know the individual.
Ortega has been a professional actor for almost a decade, but her breakout role came in the gothic Netflix series Wednesday, which was produced and partially directed by Tim Burton, whose 1990 film Edward Scissorhands helped Depp become famous.
Those few degrees of separation, along with the 23-year age gap between Depp and his former Amber Heard, likely contributed to the Deux Moi story's credibility. Furthermore, there was conjecture that Depp may appear with Ortega in Beetlejuice. However, Depp's representatives responded to the rumor item almost immediately after it became popular in 2023.
Mr. Depp has no personal or commercial contact with Ms. Ortega, according to a spokeswoman for the actor, who talked with NME in August. He's never met her or spoken to her. He is not involved in any venture with her, nor does he want to be.

The actor's representative concluded by stating that Depp was appalled by these false and unpleasant charges intended to harm his image and career, and that the rumor was too much to let to continue after his contentious defamation trial in 2022.
Ortega seemed to deny the concept in a since-deleted Instagram Story last year, but she told BuzzFeed on Monday that her first interest was far older than she: "I always say my first infatuation was Barack Obama... it was during his first election, and I was enamored."
Ortega will shortly appear in Burton's Beetlejuice sequel, playing the daughter of a role originally portrayed by Winona Ryder, who famously dated Depp in the early 1990s.

It doesn't necessarily follow that Jenna Ortega and Johnny Depp are dating just because they've collaborated with Tim Burton.
When asked in a BuzzFeed video what is the wildest rumor she has heard about herself, the 21-year-old "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" star brought up rumors that she was "in a serious relationship" with 61-year-old Johnny Depp.
In response to the relationship rumor in an Instagram story last year, Ortega was cited in several news stories, purportedly commenting, "This is so ridiculous I can't even laugh." In my life, I have never met or collaborated with Johnny Depp. Please leave us alone and quit spreading misinformation."
However, Ortega appeared to suggest in the BuzzFeed interview that not only were the relationship rumors untrue, but also the earlier statement in which she denied them.
The "Scream" actress also disclosed that she was questioned about the story on site by her co-star Richard E. Grant, with whom she was collaborating on the next film "Death of a Unicorn," because it had become so popular.
"He came up to me and he just said, 'Oh, so you and Johnny?'" stated Ortega. "I laughed because I don't know that person."
Tim Burton is a well-known director, and both Ortega and Depp have worked with him. The actress starred in his Netflix series "Wednesday." Meanwhile, over the years, Depp has been well-known for his roles in several of Burton's films, such as "Edward Scissorhands," "Ed Wood," and "Alice in Wonderland." On the follow-up "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice," which opens in theaters on September 6, Ortega collaborated with Burton once more.
