Winona Ryder reveals Jeff Bridges 'refused' to kiss her in an audition for one very good reason

While I'm sure hundreds of people would queue up to kiss Winona Ryder, there was one A-list celebrity who refused to do so.

Stranger Things star Ryder has been in the film industry since she was a teenager and starred in her first movie Lucas at the age of 15.

She's since had roles in movies like Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, and Black Swan to name a few, and will soon return to the big screen for Beetlejuice's long-awaited sequel that hits theaters on Friday (September 6).

Ahead of its release, Ryder featured on Josh Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast, where she reflected on her decades-long career.

Discussing some of the auditions she's done in the past, Ryder recalled an audition she did for the 1993 movie Fearless alongside Jeff Bridges.

The 52-year-old told Horowitz: "Jeff Bridges, who I love, wouldn't kiss me."

Explaining why, Ryder went on: "I was too young. At the end of the scene he was supposed to kiss me and I was like [waiting to be kissed].

"He kissed my forehead. He’s like, ‘You’re, like, my daughter’s age.’ And I was like, 'No!'"

Bridges is proud father to three daughters; Isabelle, 43, Jessica, 41, and 38-year-old Hayley.

While Ryder isn't quite the same age as his kids, we understand where he was coming from.

Elsewhere on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Ryder revealed what some of her text exchanges with Keanu Reeves looks like.

The two celebrities starred in Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1992 together and have been friends ever since.

She explained that she jokingly refers to Reeves as her 'husband' after the pair supposedly got hitched while filming Dracula together over 30 years ago.

"On his birthday it's always like 'Happy Birthday, my husband!' and I'll [sign it off] Noni," Ryder shared.

"He's always like 'Hey, wife! Love you KR57'. On each birthday he's like 'KR57' or whatever his age is. He's always done that."

Speaking of Reeves, Ryder was also asked if she'd ever star in one of his John Wick movies - and it seems as if she's not rushing to do so.

She admitted that she'd only do it if it 'didn't involve any stunts' as she was 'thinking about [her] bones'.

With the nature of all four John Wick movies in mind, it's unlikely the fifth film - which is currently in development - won't be just as action-packed. Sorry, Winona!
