Rumors claiming Evan Rachel Wood dates her co-star in "The Wrestler", Mickey Rourke, are not true and the actress says she feels "disrespected" by the press which spread the false reports and also by Rourke himself. "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," so she tells Rolling Stone.

And contrary to the mounting Internet reports which mention the two actors were spotted kissing during a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards after party on Sunday, January 25, Wood insists, she is not "attracted to" Rourke because "he's too old" for her. "Nothing ever happened and nothing ever will," she adds.

In the same tone with Wood, a representative for Rourke also denies the actor is dating Wood. "There is absolutely no truth in these rumors," the representative told US Weekly on Thursday, January 29. "Mickey and Evan became great friends during filming and remain friends, nothing more."

Evan Rachel Wood and Mickey Rourke play estranged father and daughter in "The Wrestler." Starring as the lead role in the drama-action flick, Rourke earned several awards and nominations, one of which was Best Actor Golden Globe.
