Winona Ryder recently revealed on the 'Happy Sad Confused' podcast that Jeff Bridges refused to kiss her during an audition for the 1993 film 'Fearless' due to their age difference. Ryder, who was 21 at the time, recounted that Bridges, then 43, compared her to his own daughters and opted to kiss her forehead instead. Despite not landing the role, Ryder's career flourished that same year with a significant role in 'The Age of Innocence,' earning her an Oscar nomination. Bridges, who shares three daughters with his wife Susan, was praised by Ryder for his gentlemanly conduct. The 'Fearless' film, directed by Peter Weir, starred Bridges alongside Isabella Rossellini and Rosie Perez, who received an Oscar nomination for her role.
