In a joint interview, Winona Ryder and her dad revealed that she was actually about to marry then lover Johnny Depp but her dad prevented it to happen.
Winona Ryder was banned from marrying
Johnny Depp by her father. The actress - who met the heartthrob actor on the set of 1990 film 'Edward Scissorhands' and was engaged to him for around three years - has revealed her dad Michael Horowitz forbid the pair from tying the knot because she was only 17 at the time.
In a joint interview with Vogue magazine, Horowitz recalled: "They were the hottest couple in the US at that time, like
Brad Pitt and
Angelina Jolie are now. They were cool." Ryder said: "But you stopped a wedding." To which Horowitz replied: "We loved Johnny but you were 17."
Ryder, now 35, split from Depp in 1993. During their relationship the '
Sweeney Todd' actor had a tattoo etched onto his arm which read "Winona Forever". However, after their separation he had the body art changed to read "Wino Forever".
Ryder - who was arrested for shoplifting in 2001 - has since dated Soul Asylum frontman Dave Pirner and actor
Matt Damon. Depp is now in a long-term relationship with French star
Vanessa Paradis. The couple have two children together, five-year-old son John Jack and eight-year-old daughter Lily-Rose.
