The "Stranger Things" star remembers "throwing" herself at the Oscar-winner back in her 20s.
Winona Ryder once had a devastating crush on Al Pacino.
The star of “Stranger Things” confessed her unrequited obsession in a new interview for Elle magazine published Wednesday, saying she was “absolutely in love” with the “Scarface” star while they were part of an actors workshop of Shakespeare’s “Richard III” back in the ’90s.
“I was actively in love with him,” Ryder told the magazine. “He was obsessed with coffee, and he would take me all over New York – like, to the weirdest places – to try different coffees.”
“I’m 22, or whatever,” she recalled. “Finally, he’s dropping me off wherever I’m staying, and I’m like, ‘I love you, you know. I really am completely in love with you.’”
Recreating Pacino’s reaction for interviewer Jeff Giles, she touched his hand and mercifully said, “Aw, honey, noooo.”
