Winona Ryder cuts her own hair
Winona Ryder always cuts her own hair when she wants to wear it short. The Beetlejuice star was known for her quirky pixie cuts after shooting to fame in the 1980s, but Winona is adamant she didn't spend a lot of money on her hair - revealing she likes to take scissors to it herself because she has perfected her technique over the years. Winona told Ella magazine: "Honestly, I always loved having short hair. One thing is, I have to cut it myself ... "[I turn my head] upside down and you cut up." The 53-year-old actress went on to talk about the ageing process and admitted some directors have encouraged her to get Botox. She explained: "I always knew I looked young. But I also knew that when I started ageing, it was gonna happen fast ... "They'll [directors] say: 'Just relax your forehead. Relax.' I'm trying to be a great actor, and they're saying that over and over. It's nice that people are talking about how it's OK to age, but there's still enormous pressure. Every role I get is for a mother, you know? My career has definitely shifted." Winona previously opened up about her personal style revealing she's a big fan of casual clothing. When asked about her fashion essentials, Winona insisted she only has five key items, telling "Everyone's different, but socks and underwear, a comfortable pair of jeans, a favourite T-shirt, and a soft sweater. But that's just me." She also insisted she wasn't surprised to see 1990s fashion make a comeback, saying: "It's not my 90s style that's been revived! I certainly don't feel any ownership over it - that's just way too much responsibility. I guess it's just sort of inevitable in terms of fashion. "Everything always comes back into style about 20-25 years later, right?" The Stranger Things star also admitted she has a hard time letting go of her favourite items of clothing and she framed one of her T-shirts because she didn't have the heart to throw it away. She told the publication: "I just had to retire an old Clash T-shirt from the first time I saw them in 1980 because it was so incredibly thin and just disintegrating. But I ended up framing it. I inherited my fathers 'archivist' gene, so it's really hard for me to let go of things."

Winona Ryder On Changing Beauty Standards, Aging
Winona Ryder was just a teenager when she shot to fame in the 1980s, with Tim Burton's 1988 movie Beetlejuice proving to be her breakout role. After that, Winona's career went from strength to strength, and the star appeared in countless other popular films, including Heathers, Edward Scissorhands, Mermaids, and Little Women throughout her late teens and early 20s. Winona is now 53 years old, and best known for playing mom Joyce Byers in the hit Netflix series Stranger Things, where she is the oldest core cast member. As I'm sure you know, Stranger Things has been a launchpad for a whole new generation of young stars who have grown up on our screens throughout the series. This includes Millie Bobby Brown, who was just 12 years old when Season 1 premiered back in 2016, and is now a 21-year-old movie star. The rest of the main young cast include Finn Wolfhard, now 22, Caleb McLaughlin, now 23, Gaten Matarazzo, now 22, Sadie Sink, now 23, and Noah Schnapp, now 20. And in a new interview with Elle, Winona reflected on the fact that she has gone from being the youngest actor on set to the oldest — and even revealed that directors have told her to get anti-aging treatments to improve her appearance. 'I always knew I looked young, but I also knew that when I started aging, it was gonna happen first,' she told the publication. Winona is then said to have pointed to her forehead before adding: 'I don't mind it, but what's weird is when you're surrounded by young women getting weird shit done.' Clarifying that she was referring to buccal fat removal, which is when fat is removed from the face to create a more sculpted look, Winona added: 'I thought they were kidding. I want to say, like: 'In 10 years, you're gonna want that back!'' The star went on to reference female directors who have recommended Botox to her — even if it comes at the cost of her acting performance. 'They'll say: 'Just relax your forehead. Relax,'' she shared. 'I'm trying to be a great actor, and they're saying that over and over. It's nice that people are talking about how it's OK to age, but there's still enormous pressure. Every role I get is for a mother, you know? My career has definitely shifted.' What do you make of Winona Ryder's comments? Let me know below!

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.'

'They spend their time up north near San Francisco, though she does commute back and forth to L.A. for work and to see friends and often brings him with her.'

Winona Ryder recalls being ‘actively in love' with Al Pacino only for him to reject her advances
Winona Ryder has revealed how she once fell 'actively in love' with Hollywood leading man Al Pacino only for him to brutally reject her. In a new interview with Elle UK, the actress, now 53, recalled working with Pacino – who is 32 years her senior – on the 1996 documentary film Finding Richard, on which they portrayed each other's love interests. But life did not imitate art, as Ryder discovered the hard way when Pacino, who also directed the film, pushed back her advances. 'I was absolutely in love with Al Pacino when I was working with him,' she told the magazine. 'We were doing that workshop for [working title] Richard III, which I didn't know was gonna be a movie. I was actively in love with him.' The actress recalled The Godfather star being 'obsessed with coffee' and he would 'take me all over New York' to try different coffees at various cafes when she was just 22. '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,'' she remembered. 'And he was like, 'Aw, honey, noooo.'' 'Then, like 10 years later, I meet his girlfriend, who's younger than me.' As awkward as it was, Ryder bounced back from the rejection and the pair have maintained a friendship that has stood the test of time. They even appeared together again on screen in the 2002 sci-fi film, Simone. 'I still play poker with him sometimes. It's the best,' she added. Pacino has had a series of high-profile relationships with major stars, such as Diane Keaton, Kathleen Quinlan and Beverly D'Angelo, who is the father of his 24-year-old twins Julie and Anton. The 85-year-old actor – who has never married – also has a daughter Julie, 35, from a previous relationship with acting coach Jan Tarrant. Pacino's last public girlfriend was producer Noor Alfallah, who at 31 is 54 years younger than him. The couple began dating in 2022 and welcomed a son, Roman, the following year. However, they parted ways in October last year. As for Ryder, she has dated the likes of Rob Lowe, Matt Damon and David Duchovny. She was also engaged to her Edward Scissorhands co-star Johnny Depp in the 90s. However, they split in 1993 despite Depp famously getting a 'Winona forever' tattoo on his arm. That tattoo has since been altered to read 'Wino forever.' Ryder has been dating eco-friendly clothing designer Scott Mackinlay Hahn since 2011, and it appears she has no plans to marry him. 'Marriage? I don't know. I'd rather never have been married than been divorced a few times,' she explained in a previous interview. 'Not that there's anything wrong with divorce, but I don't think I could do it if that was a possibility.' 'When your parents are madly in love for 45 years, your standards are really high.'
