- In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Winona Ryder said she thinks that she and Keanu Reeves might have actually, accidentally, gotten officially married while filming "Dracula" in 1992.
- "In that scene, Francis [Ford Coppola] used a real Romanian priest," she said. "We shot the master and he did the whole thing. So I think we're married."
- Reeves couldn't seem to remember.
- Francis Ford Coppola has said the theory checks out.
In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Winona Ryder said that she thinks she and Keanu Reeves might have accidentally gotten officially married while "Dracula" in 1992.
"We actually got married in 'Dracula,'" Ryder said. "No, I swear to god I think we're married in real life."
As it turns out, when they were filming "Dracula," Francis Ford Coppola, who directed the movie, wanted an accurate wedding ceremony.
"In that scene, Francis [Ford Coppola] used a real Romanian priest," she added. "We shot the master and he did the whole thing. So I think we're married."
But when asked, Reeves seemed to struggle to remember.
"We said yes?" he asked of their on-screen wedding.
"Don't you remember that? It was on Valentine's Day," she said.
"Oh my gosh, we're married," Reeves said.
Coppola said that Ryder's marriage plot seems to check out, The Guardian reports.
"This is pretty authentic and I think very beautiful because we actually did the ceremony and had the priest do the ceremony," Coppola said of the movie's wedding ceremony. "So in a sense, when we were all done, we realized that Keanu and Winona really are married as a result of this scene and this ceremony."
So if this all turns out to be true, Reeves and Ryder could have been married for the last 26 years. In any case, the '90s icons will reunite on screen in "Destination Wedding," which heads to theaters August 31.
