Ortega gave a comment about the rumors about her romance with Depp. leave us alone
Jenna Ortega has shut down the ‘ridiculous’ speculation that both she and fellow actor, Johnny Depp, are dating as she recently took to Instagram.
The Wednesday star, 20, who was seen filming scenes for the anticipated Beetlejuice 2 before the SAG-AFTRA strike,
responded to rumors that circulated after the gossip account, DeuxMoi, reported the two were spotted together.
The site also reported that the pair could possibly be working on Beetlejuice 2 together, per NME.
However, the actress wasted no time to set the record straight about whether she is in a relationship with the Pirates Of The Caribbean actor, 60.
‘This is so ridiculous I can’t even laugh,’ Ortega wrote on her Instagram Story. ‘I have never met or worked with Johnny Depp in my life. Please stop spreading lies and leave us alone.’
Last year, in June, unconfirmed rumors spread that Depp would be taking on a role in Beetlejuice 2 when he appeared on the cast list on Google searches, leading to fans excitement.
The speculation arose shortly after his defamation trial ended with ex-wife, Amber Heard, which resulted in the actor being awarded $15million in damages from the Aquaman actress.
Production for the upcoming sequel officially began a few months earlier on May 10 in London. Winona Ryder reprised her role of Lydia Deetz in the movie, with Jenna portraying her daughter.
Michael Keaton is also returning to step into the iconic shoes of Beetlejuice once again, with other stars joining the cast, such as Filipe Cates and also Justin Theroux -although his role has yet to be specified.
In early July, both Ryder and Ortega were seen on set in Hitchin, Hertfordshire to film wedding scenes with Cates also spotted.
The Stranger Things star notably sported the same spiked black fringe from the original movie as she was seen strolling towards the main set while wearing a puffer jacket to stay warm.
Later that same month, Jenna was seen in character while riding a bike down a quiet road while filming a scene in the quaint town of East Corinth, Vermont.
The star donned an edgy ensemble as well as a pair of black lace-up boots as she jumped into her role. The town itself was notably decorated for Halloween for the film, with pumpkins, hay and leaves scattered around.
