Decidedly, Johnny Depp is at the heart of many controversies in this year 2023. The ultra-publicized trial against his former companion Amber Heard, who accused him of domestic violence, had led to divided reactions. A few months later, the film Jeanne du Barry by Maïwenn, in which he plays the main role, opened the 76th edition of the Cannes Film Festival. The actor’s arrival at the festival had been sharply criticized. The director then took his defense. This time, it is a possible romantic relationship that is pointed out. Indeed, many tabloids have started the rumor that Johnny Depp, 60, has a love affair with Jenna Ortega, 20. The two actors would have met on the set of the sequel to beetle juice, the great classic of Tim Burton. But the young interpreter of Wednesday Addams in the eponymous Netflix series quickly denied the rumors on Monday September 4, 2023, on her account instagram.
Jenna Ortega comments on the “ridiculousness” of these allegations
“It’s so ridiculous I can’t even laugh“, she began to write, visibly very annoyed with the situation. The actress then explains that Johnny Depp was never present on the set of Beetlejuice 2. “I have never met or worked with Johnny Depp in my entire life. Please, stop spreading this kind of lies and leave us alone“, concludes Jenna Ortega. What put an end to all rumors on the subject. Johnny Depp will therefore not be alongside his friend Tim Burton for his new film. On the heart side, it seems to be dead calm for the main role of Pirates of the Caribbean. Since his divorce with Vanessa Paradis and his setbacks with Amber Heard, he has never been seen in the company of another woman. As the media says NME, on Thursday, August 31, 2023, the actor also wanted to dot the “i”s regarding Jenna Ortega. “He never met her and never spoke to her. He is not involved in any project with her and has no intention of doing so. He is appalled by these unfounded and malicious rumors which aim to damage his reputation and career.” said his press officers.
