Since the end of her relationship with Marilyn Manson, Evan Rachel Wood was linked to equally-fug actor Mickey Rourke. The two co-starred in “The Wrestler” together, and practically effed each other on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival.

Still, the 21 year old actress denied dating the 52 year old plastic surgery addict.

“Spread the word: I’m not dating Mickey Rourke. Everybody thinks we’re dating and we’re not.

“Mickey and I bonded while shooting The Wrestler and we became friends, but nothing more. I guess, because of my recent break up, I will be linked to many people, but I am not interested in pursuing a relationship at this point in my life. Any such rumor should not be taken seriously.”

She continued, “We are proud of the film we made together and I hope people will focus on the film and not get distracted by any nonsense.”

Mickey reiterated the point in a very crass manor while speaking with photographers over the weekend.

“She’s a good friend, that’s about it. And tell that faggot who said all that shit in the paper I’d like to break his fucking legs!”

Mickey later apologized for the gay slur.
