Keanu Reeves has weighed in on claims that he and Winona Ryder ended up getting hitched in the 1990s while filming Dracula - and it turns out that he reckons the pair are married.
The two actors starred in the 1992 Francis Ford Coppola flick, but it's since been revealed that a scene in which they got married was shot using a real Romanian priest, prompting Winona to believe the pair are actually husband and wife.
Now, in a recent video interview with Esquire, Keanu spoke about the wedding and attempted to set the record straight.
When presented with an article about Winona's claims, he replied: "We did a whole take of a marriage ceremony with real priests.

"Winona says we are. Coppola says we are. So I guess we're married under the eyes of God."
God and Winona Ryder - it doesn't get more official than that.
Although Keanu was recently presented with the rumours, Winona mentioned their nuptials all the way back in 2018.
She told Entertainment Weekly: "We actually got married in Dracula. No, I swear to God I think we're married in real life.

"In that scene, Francis [Ford Coppola] used a real Romanian priest. We shot the master and he did the whole thing. So I think we're married."
Back then, the special moment appeared to have slipped her co-star's mind, with her prompting him: "Don't you remember that? It was Valentine's Day."
The penny finally dropped and Keanu admitted: "Oh my gosh, we're married."

Whether the pair are legally married or otherwise, Winona has previously spoken about what a good egg Keanu is while revealing an incident in which director Coppola, tried to get her Dracula co-star to make her cry by hurling abuse at her - which the actor refused to do.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, Ryder recalled a scene where Dracula - played by Gary Oldman - transformed into a pile of rats.
Meanwhile, behind the camera, director Coppola repeatedly shouted insults at her and attempted to get the film's male cast to follow suit - so that her crying would be believable.
"To put it in context, I'm supposed to be crying," Ryder explained to the newspaper.
"Literally, Richard R Grant, Anthony Hopkins, Keanu... Francis was trying to get all of them to yell things that would make me cry. But Keanu wouldn't, Anthony wouldn't... It just didn't work. I was, like, really? It kind of did the opposite."

Ryder said in the interview that, despite the incident, she and Coppola are 'good now', adding that the incident really solidified her friendship with Reeves.
