Keanu Reeves playfully suggests that he and Winona Ryder may be married ‘under the eyes of God,’ pointing to their on-screen marriage in the 1992 film “Dracula.”
The scene, featuring a real Romanian priest, has led both actors to humorously claim that they might be legitimately married. Director Francis Ford Coppola has supported this notion, acknowledging the authenticity of the ceremony they filmed.
In a 2018 interview, Ryder revealed, “We actually got married in ‘Dracula.’ No, I swear to God I think we’re married in real life. In that scene, Francis [Ford Coppola] used a real Romanian priest. We shot the master, and he did the whole thing. So I think we’re married.”
The friendship between Ryder and Reeves spans decades, with collaborations on various films like “A Scanner Darkly” (2006), “The Private Lives of Pippa Lee” (2009), and “Destination Wedding” (2018). Despite their enduring connection, the nature of their relationship reмains platonic.
Sandra Bullock, another friend and frequent co-star of Reeves, emphasized their enduring friendship in an Esquire profile. While she acknowledged that they could have survived as a couple, Bullock clarified they never dated. She expressed admiration for Reeves as a person and the mutual respect they share.
The playful banter about marriage and the enduring friendships between these Hollywood stars add a lighthearted touch to their longstanding connections and collaborative history.
