Jenna Ortega has reportedly denied Johnny Depp romance rumors.
The rumors started after Deuxmoi, a celebrity gossip account on social media, claimed Ortega, 20, and Depp, 60, had been seen together while working on the upcoming Beetlejuice sequel.
While Depp's casting in the film hasn't been confirmed, fans have been speculating about his appearance in the Tim Burton film after his name showed up in Google search for the sequel's cast, per the Daily Mail.

"This is so ridiculous I can’t even laugh," she is said to have written in response to the report. "I have never met or worked with Johnny Depp in my life. Please stop spreading lies and leave us alone."
