Winona Ryder Reveals Why Jeff Bridges Wouldn't Kiss Her During Their ‘Fearless’ Audition
HuffPost
"I was like, ‘Nooo, I love you!'" the "Beetlejuice" star said of her reaction.
Winona Ryder says Jeff Bridges refused to give her a smooch during an audition for the 1993 film “Fearless” — but for good reason.
In a new episode of Josh Horowitz’s “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, the “Beetlejuice” star, 52, reflected on an audition the two did together for the thriller.
The script called for Bridges to kiss Ryder at the end of their scene. But Bridges declined because she was “too young,” Ryder said. He planted a kiss on her forehead instead.
According to Ryder, Bridges told her at the time, “You’re like, my daughter’s age.”
And Ryder, a big fan of his, remembered reacting: “I was like, ‘Nooo, I love you!’”
When Hilary Swank was 6, her family moved into a trailer park. Nine years later, her parents separated, and she and her mother relocated to LA, where they lived in their car until they could afford an apartment. After winning her first Oscar, she proudly proclaimed that she was still a coupon clipper because "when you open up the paper and you see those coupons, it looks like dollar bills staring you in the face."
