Winona Ryder is happily settled now with boyfriend Scott Mackinlay Hahn, but the actress had a couple of movie star crushes while making her way in the industry.
She told Elle U.K. in an interview published Wednesday that Christopher Walken once gave her a store-bought rotisserie chicken, and because she was so enthralled by him at the time, she kept the carcass longer than normal.
« I still have the wishbone and am trying to make it into a necklace, » she confided.
The pair worked together on the 2014 political thriller « Turks & Caicos. »
WYNONA RYDER SAYS A-LIST ACTOR WOULDN’T KISS HER IN AN AUDITION BECAUSE SHE WAS ‘TOO YOUNG’
While she didn’t clarify if her fascination with the « Pulp Fiction » actor was romantic or platonic, she vividly described her former yearning for Al Pacino when she was in her early 20s.
« I was absolutely in love with Al Pacino when I was working with him, » she said. « We were doing that workshop for ‘Richard III,’ which I didn’t know was gonna be a movie. I was actively in love with him. »
The « Beetlejuice » actress said the « Scarface » actor loved coffee and would take her around New York City to try different brews.
« I’m 22, or whatever, » she continued. « 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.’’ And he was like: ‘Aw, honey, noooo.’ »
The pair still made « Looking for Richard » about the British monarch in 1996.

She laughed that 10 years later she met Pacino’s girlfriend « who’s younger than me. »
Pacino, 85, is more than 30 years older than Ryder, 53.
« ‘Dude, I’m f—— throwing myself at you,’ » she said. « I still play poker with him sometimes. It’s the best. »
Ryder met her current love at the premiere of « Black Swan » in 2010, and he mistook her for actress Milla Jovovich.
« I thought it was the most charming thing in the world, » she said, explaining that she found him later and once again didn’t beat around the bush.

« I was very direct. I was like, ‘Listen, do you want to go on a date?’ » she explained.
Ryder told Elle she already thinks of Hahn as her husband, but they are planning to get married soon.
Hahn is also the cook in the relationship.
« He has this gift that my mom had, which is making healthy food delicious, » she revealed. « He made a curry last night that was better than any curry I’ve ever had. »
