Al Pacino once rejected Winona Ryder for being too young for him

Winona told ELLE UK magazine: "I was absolutely in love with Al Pacino when I was working with him. 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. 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. 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'. Then, like 10 years later, I meet his girlfriend, who's younger than me. Dude, I'm f****** throwing myself at you. I still play poker with him sometimes. It's the best."

Winona also spoke about her crush on Christopher Walken, 82, revealing that after he gave her a rotisserie chicken, she kept the carcass for a long time.

She added: "I still have the wishbone and am trying to make it into a necklace."

These days, Winona is loved-up with green-fashion entrepreneur Scott Mackinlay Hahn, who mistook her for Milla Jovovich when they met at the Black Swan premiere in 2010.

Winona said: "I thought it was the most charming thing in the world".

She tracked down his phone number and called him, explaining: "I was very direct. I was like, 'Listen, do you want to go on a date?'"

Winona - who said she and Hahn hope to marry soon - also spoke about children, explaining: "There was a time that I was really thinking about it, but I hadn't met Scott."
