Wednesday and Scream franchise star Jenna Ortega is shutting down reports that she is dating actor Johnny Depp, who is 40 years her senior.

The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star is not dating the “Scream VI” actress, a source confirmed to Page Six Saturday.
The Daily Mail claimed that Ortega, 20, also addressed the “ridiculous” claims on her social media account.
“I can’t even laugh,” the “Wednesday” star reportedly wrote on her Instagram Story in a since-deleted post.
“I have never met or worked with Johnny Depp in my life,” she continued. “Please stop spreading lies and leave us alone.”
Page Six has reached out to Ortega and Depp’s reps but did not immediately hear back.
Rumors began after gossip blog Deuxmoi posted that Depp and Ortega had been spotted together and were possibly working together on “Beetlejuice 2,” which is slated to be released next fall.
The “Edward Scissorhands” star most recently made headlines for his romance with Joelle Rich, a London-based attorney who represented the actor in his libel case against the Sun in 2020.
An insider told US Weekly last year that Rich was married when she and Depp first started dating but was in the middle of divorcing her husband.
The Oscar nominee and the high-profile lawyer split in October 2022.
I mean it's not that much of a stretch if someone in their twenties was dating someone old enough to be their parent.
However, Jenna's career is way too hot right now for her to get seriously involved with someone, whether it be with Johnny or someone her own age.
