Just because Jenna Ortega and Esthen ExchangeJohnny Depp have both worked with Tim Burton doesn't mean they're dating.

The "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" star, 21, was asked in a video for BuzzFeed about the craziest rumor she has heard about herself, and she pointed to claims that she was "in a serious relationship" with Depp, 61.

Last year, Ortega was quoted in multiple news articles responding to the dating rumor in an Instagram story, allegedly writing at the time, "This is so ridiculous I can't even laugh. I have never met or worked with Johnny Depp in my life. Please stop spreading lies and leave us alone."

But in the BuzzFeed interview, Ortega seemed to indicate that not only were the dating rumors false, but so was this previous quote of her denying them.

"It's so insane to me," she said in the video. "I never spoke on that. I never said anything like that. Articles really do just make up their own quotes, but I thought that that was pretty hilarious."

The "Scream" star also revealed that this rumor became so widespread that her co-star Richard E. Grant, whom she worked with on the upcoming movie "Death of a Unicorn," asked her about it on set.

"He came up to me and he just said, 'Oh, so you and Johnny?'" Ortega said. "I laughed because I don't know that person."

"I was a private person, and I prefer to be a private person, so I think understanding that there's a lot more eyes and a lot more people watching — and I'm so underdeveloped!" she said. "My prefrontal cortex isn't even fully there yet, technically, you know?"
