He clarified in an interview with celebrity magazine Extra that the two were discussing England while Jason was filming 'Aquaman 2' in the UK. He told in the interview, "It was cray. Have a conversation with a woman about her country, I was in England doing Aquaman 2. Everyone is like, 'Are you dating?' No, no, it was chivalry, the woman was cold."

When questioned if he was dating the London-born actress, Jason sought to put an end to any dating rumors, declaring, "Absolutely not, not together. She is very nice, I was being very nice, just being a gentleman." "Now, I am not giving my coat to anyone," he joked.
