MANILA, Philippines — Actress Jenna Ortega laughed off the rumor that she dated Johnny Depp.
Ortega appeared on Buzzfeed’s “Puppy Interview” series to promote her upcoming film “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” Tim Burton’s sequel to his 1989 film.
Toward the end of the video as the actress played with puppies who began biting her shoes, she was asked what was the crazier rumor she heard about herself.
“Probably that I was in a serious relationship with Johnny Depp and I wanted everyone to leave us alone,” Ortega said bluntly with a smile. “It’s so insane to me, like I never spoke on that or said anything like that.”

“I laughed because I don’t know that person,” the actress recalled.
Even representatives for Depp called the rumors false, adding the actor had no planned collaborations with Ortega.
