Jenna Ortega Reflects On The “Craziest” Rumor That She Was Dating Johnny Depp

Buy Me A Coffee

Ah, Hollywood rumors – they’re like glitter. Once they get on you, good luck shaking them off. Enter Jenna Ortega, the 21-year-old actress, who’s here to set the record straight (again!) about that wild rumor suggesting she was romantically entangled with none other than Johnny Depp. Spoiler alert: No, she wasn’t sipping wine in some mysterious candlelit corner with Captain Jack Sparrow.

Jenna already put this ridiculous gossip to bed last year with a “Wait, WHAT?!” Instagram post, but now she’s reflecting on how that bonkers rumor felt in real time. And guess what? Even celebrities have their “Wait, is this for real?!” moments.

In a hilarious new interview with BuzzFeed, where puppies were probably doing the most adorable things in the background, Jenna was asked to spill the tea on the craziest rumor she’s ever heard about herself. Because when you’re a celeb, you’ve probably got a rumor Rolodex full of ’em.

“Probably that I was in a SERIOUS relationship with Johnny Depp, and I wanted everyone to leave us alone,” Jenna said, trying not to roll her eyes into a new galaxy. “It’s like – come on, people! I never even spoke on this! Like, I don’t even know the guy. Next thing you know, someone’s writing fanfic about us riding off into the sunset on a pirate ship. Honestly, it’s so wild. Articles just… make up their own quotes! It’s like they think I wake up every morning thinking, ‘What lies can I confirm today?’ But honestly, I thought it was kind of hilarious.”

But wait, it gets better. It wasn’t just the internet that got hooked on this rumor. Even one of her co-stars took the bait. Jenna explained, “I was on set with Richard E. Grant, and he came up to me like, ‘Soooo, you and Johnny?’ And I just burst out laughing because, umm, who? Like, I don’t even know how to spell Depp. For all I know, that man could be a figment of my imagination.”

Jenna and Richard were filming their upcoming movie Death of a Unicorn at the time. Yep, you read that right. It sounds like a movie as magical as it is mysterious. Perhaps Depp will play a swashbuckling unicorn in the sequel?

Oh, and while she was busy dodging dating rumors, Jenna also dropped a fun fact: she once auditioned for a role in Dune. That’s right, she could’ve been on Arrakis, dodging sandworms and wearing some killer sci-fi fashion. Now, we can only imagine what those rumors would’ve been like!

No, Jenna Ortega was not plotting to sail away with Johnny Depp. But yes, she’ll probably be laughing about this one for years to come.
