    Winona Ryder says Jeff Bridges refused to kiss her during her audition for 'Fearless' because she was too young

    The 52-year-old actress - who ultimately didn't end up getting the part - was 21 and the 74-year-old actor was 43 when the 1993 drama film was released, and she froze at the end of the scene when the kiss was meant to happen, but Jeff was aware of the age gap and didn't lock lips with her


    Appearing on the 'Happy Sad Confused' podcast, she recalled: "I remember because I was also auditioning for Fearless with Jeff Bridges, and I remember that audition. It was really around the same time [I auditioned for The Hudsucker Proxy], I think.

    "Jeff Bridges, who I love, wouldn't kiss me because I was, like, too young."

    She continued: "And at the end of the scene he was supposed to kiss me and I was ...

    "And he, like, he kissed my forehead. He's like, 'You're, like, my daughter's age.' And I was like, 'No!'"

    The 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' star also revealed the advice her 'Age of Innocence' co-star Daniel Day-Lewis, 67, gave her about dealing with questions about her personal time around the time of her split from Johnny Depp, 61, that same year.

    She shared: "When I was doing the press junket for Age of Innocence, Daniel Day-Lewis gave me the best advice 'cause we were both going through stuff at the time.

    "He's like, 'Just keep talking so they can't ask you. Just ramble.'

    "When I get comfortable I like to [ramble], and I think it could be because I spent so much time not getting to do that, and I still do. I mean, nobody knows what the f*** I'm talking about most of the time."
