Winona Ryder confesses to keeping rotisserie chicken wishbone from Christopher Walken for years
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." 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." "I still have the wishbone and am trying to make it into a necklace." 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."

Al Pacino, 85, ‘Looking for Someone Young and Sexy' Following Split from Noor Alfallah, Says Source
Al Pacino is trying to move on from baby mama Noor Alfallah. He's been flirting with a sexy Italian journalist in Rome, but pals are urging him to adjust his expectations and stop chasing after younger gals who are totally out of his league. The 85-year-old Godfather legend had a big grin on his face as he cozied up to Caterina De Terlizzi during dinner with friends at Il Bolognese in Piazza del Popolo recently. At one point, the younger woman even gave Al a smooch on the cheek, to his delight. 'He's looking for someone young and sexy, which might seem ridiculous at his age, but Al's always had a tendency to shoot for the moon,' says an insider. 'To his credit, he still has charm and a lot of charisma.' He's been hoping to reunite with Noor, but that's not happening, says the insider. Al welcomed son Roman, his fourth child, with the American-Kuwaiti filmmaker, 31, in June 2023. 'So now he's looking for someone new,' says the insider, 'and by the looks of it he's off to a great start!' Solve the daily Crossword

Winona Ryder, 53, was rejected by Al Pacino, 85, after falling ‘actively in love
Winona Ryder has revealed she was once rejected by Al Pacino, who she was 'absolutely in love' with. The Stranger Things star, 53, is all loved up with her partner Scott Mackinlay Hahn these days, but as a 22-year-old actress she had a big old soft spot for The Godfather star Al Pacino, who is 32 years her senior. In the late 90s, the Girl, Interrupted star was working on Al Pacino's directorial debut Looking for Richard when the pair struck up a friendship of sorts. While Al Pacino would take Winona around New York to the best coffee spots, she was 'actively in love with him' – but the film veteran rejected her advances. Ouch. 'I was absolutely in love with Al Pacino when I was working with him,' Winona revealed in a recent interview with Elle Magazine. '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.''' However, rather than accept her advances, Al touched her hand with pity and said: 'Aw, honey, noooo.' While the three-decade age difference might have put Al off in the 90s, Winona noted that he seems to have changed his tune… '10 years later, I meet his girlfriend, who's younger than me.' She laughs. 'Dude, I'm f*cking throwing myself at you,' she joked, adding: 'I still play poker with him sometimes. It's the best.' It seems over the years Al has got more and more liberal about gaping age-gaps, as his most recent ex-girlfriend Noor Alfallah is 54 years younger than him. Aged 31, Noor and Al welcomed his fourth child, a son named Roman, in 2023. He also has three other children: 34-year-old daughter Julie who he welcomed with acting coach Jan Tarrant, and 23-year-old twins Anton and Olivia, who he shares with actress Beverly D'Angelo. Meanwhile, Winona is smitten in her 14-year relationship with eco fashion designer Scott, who she met at the 2010 premiere of her film Black Swan. Speaking to Harper's Bazaar last year, Winona said: 'He's so great. He really is. I'm really lucky.' More Trending She also revealed that Scott knows so little about the entertainment industry that he didn't recognise her when they first met. 'He thought I was Milla Jovovich,' she said. 'He told me I was great in The Fifth Element.' Winona was previously engaged to Johnny Depp who she was with for four years in the early 1990s. She also previously dated Matt Damon, Rilo Kiley guitarist Blake Sennett, and Helmet singer Page Hamilton. Got a story?
