Wood Nixes Rourke Hookup Rumors
Evan Rachel Wood is distraught about rumors she's been romantic with her "Wrestler" co-star Mickey Rourke -- and the actress is setting the record straight!
"I'm upset because I feel disrespected by the press and by Mr. Rourke," Wood told Rolling Stone magazine. "Just because I'm single doesn't mean that you can take advantage of me. It's unfair that the performances might suffer because of all of these distractions."
Evan Rachel, 20, then went on to vehemently deny she is dating Rourke, 52. "I'm not attracted to him, he's too old for me. Nothing ever happened and nothing ever will."
Tongues began wagging after the SAG Awards, when the twosome were reportedly spotted making out backstage.
