The news spread like wildfire across social media, sending fans and tabloids into a frenzy. But Ortega herself addressed the matter. In a candid Instagram post, the "Wednesday" star vehemently denied the swirling speculations, labeling them as "ridiculous." She set the record straight, stating:

"I have never met or worked with Johnny Depp in my life. Please stop spreading lies and leave us alone."

Interestingly, there is a tantalizing whisper in the air about Depp's potential return to the silver screen in the much-anticipated "Beetlejuice 2." Although these rumors await official confirmation, they paint a picture of Depp rejoining Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder, conjuring nostalgia for the cult classic sequel.

The excitement surrounding Depp's potential role has been fueled by IMDb listings and online searches that boldly place him in the film's cast, with a projected release in 2025. Notably, these whispers gained momentum during the final days of Depp's headline-grabbing defamation trial against his ex-wife, Amber Heard.

The late '80s and '90s saw Depp entangled with Hollywood royalty Ryder. Their love story ignited the tabloids and captured the imagination of fans. Yet, like many love stories in the fast-paced world of showbiz, their connection eventually waned, and they parted ways.

Soon after, Depp found himself in the spotlight again, this time entangled with supermodel Kate Moss. Their relationship added a glamorous touch to Depp's already illustrious dating history, creating a whirlwind of paparazzi frenzy and fan fascination. But even the allure of the fashion world couldn't keep them together forever.

The turning point in Depp's romantic story arrived when he met French actress and singer Vanessa Paradis. For 14 years, they shared their lives and welcomed two beautiful children into the world.

Their union seemed like the calm after a storm, a period of stability amid the chaos of fame. But even fairy tales have their final chapters, and in 2012, Depp and Paradis announced their separation.

Their love story took a tumultuous turn, leading to a protracted legal battle that played out on the world stage. The tabloids feasted on their every move, turning their relationship into a spectacle that few could forget.
