Yes, we’re living in an age of spirulina-infused juices and vegan alternatives to botox – but Winona Ryder, for one, has no interest in jumping on board the Goop bandwagon. According to an interview published this weekend in Style, the ’90s poster girl has never really understood wellness fads. Instead, her self-care routine involves an ice-cold martini and a good book. As for her feelings about “tweakments”? “People almost say it like it’s a hygiene thing, but I don’t like how it looks,” she explains. “I’m a little too fearful that it could go wrong.”
Just as refreshing: the Stranger Things actor’s take on social media – with the 49-year-old admitting that she worries about her teenage co-stars getting “trolled” (a word she struggles to even remember). “When I hear ‘followers’, I think of Charles Manson, and when I hear ‘viral’, I think of a virus… People have sort of stopped pressuring me to get on social media because they know I’ve worked really hard to have this life for myself. I’m a fan of mystery.”
And while Ryder revisits a number of deeply problematic memories from her early years in Hollywood in the feature, she also shares some good news for any true ’90s kids: not only is she still in touch with Johnny Depp, to whom she famously got engaged at just 18-years-old, but she’s also close friends with Keanu Reeves, whom she became close to while filming Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992). “I love Keanu. We’re great friends. I miss him so much, and it’s hard because he’s not far, just over there [near her home in LA]…” Here’s hoping for a park reunion between the two of them soon.
