Keanu Reeves Believes He Is Still Married To 'Dracula' Co-Star Winona Ryder [Watch]
Keanu Reeves has once again talked about his on-screen marriage with co-star Winona Ryder. The actor apparently believes he is still married to the actress.
Reeves, 57, and Ryder, 50, worked together as lovers in a movie named, "Dracula," which was released in 1992. In the movie, the couple got married in one scene in the presence of real priests in a Greek Orthodox church located in Los Angeles.
"We did a whole take of a marriage ceremony with real priests," Reeves told Esquire on Monday. "Winona says we are. Coppola says we are. So I guess we’re married under the eyes of God," the actor said.
This is not the first time when the "Dracula" stars spoke about their on-screen marriage to be real. Ryder told Entertainment Weekly in 2018, "We actually got married in Dracula. No, I swear to god I think we’re married in real life."
The actress noted that the director of the movie, Francis Ford Coppola, used a real Romanian priest. "We shot the master and he did the whole thing, so I think we’re married," Ryder said.
Coppola, 82, also opened up regarding the on-set marriage in the same year, noting, "This is pretty authentic and I think very beautiful because we actually did the ceremony and had the priest do the ceremony," The Guardian reported.
"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," he added.
Reeves and Ryder have worked together in multiple movies, including "A Scanner Darkly" released in 2006, "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee" in 2009 and "Destination Wedding," which was released in 2018.
Reeves has been dating visual artist Alexandra Grant since 2018. Meanwhile, Ryder and fashion designer Scott Mackinlay Hahn have been seeing each other since 2011.
On the work front, Reeves will feature in upcoming movies -- "The Matrix Resurrections," "John Wick: Chapter 4" and "John Wick: Chapter 5." The actor also lent his voice to the "DC League of Super-Pets" animated movie.
Ryder, on the other hand, will be next seen in the mystery thriller, "The Cow," alongside Dermot Mulroney, John Gallagher Jr., Owen Teague and Brianne Tju. The film is currently under post-production.
