As if there aren't enough wholesome and hilarious stories out in the world about Keanu Reeves, here's another.

Back in 2018, while Reeves and co-star Winona Ryder were doing press for their film Destination Wedding, Ryder stated to EW that the pair had effectively gotten accidentally married for real while shooting Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 epic, Bram Stoker's Dracula. Ryder said:

"In that [wedding] scene, Francis used a real Romanian priest... We shot the master and he did the whole thing. So I think we're married."

Ryder even reminded Reeves that they said "I do," seemingly sealing the deal.

Word went quiet on this tidbit for a few years until a little over a year ago, when Esquire raised the subject with Reeves again, and he was forced to concede that he and Ryder did indeed appear to be technically married. He said:

"We did a whole take of a marriage ceremony with real priests... Winona says we are [married]. Coppola says we are. So I guess we're married… under the eyes of God."
