As if! Evan Rachel Wood has set the record straight about rumors that she and The Wrestler co-star Mickey Rourke were making out after the SAG awards. Evan Rachel Wood and Mickey Rourke are not dating.

Because… ewww.

Evan Rachel Wood isn’t too happy about the gossip either, saying, “I’m upset because I feel disrespected by the press and by Mr. Rourke. 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.”

She added, “I’m not attracted to him, he’s too old for me. Nothing ever happened and nothing ever will.”

Is this for real? Watch this video clip of Mickey Rourke and wrestler Chris Jericho from Larry King Live the other night. Is Chris Jericho really that big of a douche?

In the video clip, Chris Jericho says of Mickey Rourke:

“I think he did make a mistake on the red carpet at the SAG Awards when he mentioned Wrestlemania and he called me out, because if he got his wish and had a confirmation with me at Wrestlemania, I think the ending of the Jericho/Rourke movie would not turn out very well for Mr. Rourke, as it did in The Wrestler.”

Mickey Rourke, who is up for an Academy Award for his role in The Wrestler commented:

“It’s not my world. I was a professional fighter. Would I box him in a boxing ring or a bare knuckle match? Yes. Wrestling, that’s his role. That’s what this man does.”

And Chris Jericho added:

“I’ll be waiting, Mr. Rourke….I’ll be waiting.”

Seriously? This can’t be real.
