Many actors are known to take their roles incredibly seriously - think Matthew McConaughey, Jared Leto, and Tilda Swinton. But the most dedicated don't necessarily require drastic weight fluctuations, shaving their teeth down, sleeping in a morgue drawer or even wearing prosthetic genitals. In fact, sometimes all it takes is a little imagination and, in Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder's case, getting married "for real" on screen. You know, to create some authenticity. That's exactly what the iconic pair did in 1992, when they both starred alongside each other in Francis Ford Coppola's camp horror classic, Bram Stoker's Dracula, based on the 1897 gothic horror novel of the same name. Check out the trailer for Bram Stoker's Dracula: [[jwplayerwidget||https://cdn.jwplayer.com/videos/CQDf2cTC-sKUnNGKf.mp4||CQDf2cTC]] Coppola's flick starred Gary Oldman as Count Dracula, Anthony Hopkins as Abraham Van Helsing, Ryder as Elisabeta/Mina Harker, and Reeves as Jonathan Harker. It is during the '92 film that Reeves and Ryder's characters are married in a religious ceremony. Though, in Coppola's typical strive for realism, even in a film about Dracula, the priest hired for the film was indeed a genuine man of the cloth. In an interview with <a href="https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/a38241136/keanu-reeves-interview-2021/">Esquire</a>, 58-year-old Reeves said: "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." Ryder, 51, also commented on her three decade long marriage to the Matrix star, telling <a href="https://ew.com/movies/2018/08/18/winona-ryder-keanu-reeves-married-dracula/">Entertainment Weekly</a> in 2018: "We actually got married in Dracula." <img class="size-full wp-image-1263216111" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/06/GettyImages-174882521-1.jpg" alt="Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder during 2000 MTV Movie Awards." width="672" height="1024" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Jeff Kravitz/Getty]] The actress - who was once engaged in real-life to Johnny Depp - added: "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." Though, the pair never signed any official documents relating to their marriage so, as Reeves stated, the wedding is only binding in the "eyes of God". Despite being close friends, Reeves and Ryder have never been romantically linked, although they did reunite on-screen in the 2018 movie Destination Wedding. Of course, Reeves is clearly over-the-moon in his relationship with 50-year-old artist Alexandra Grant - with the pair making several public appearances together over the past year or so. <img class="size-full wp-image-1263216109" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/06/GettyImages-1019040432.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="809" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Kevin Winter / Getty]] The couple first met in 2011 and collaborated on a number of different projects. Grant provided the art for the Reeves' volumes of poetry Ode To Happiness and Shadows. Per the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11981101/Who-Keanu-Reeves-girlfriend-Alexandra-Grant.html">Daily Mail</a>, Grant hails from Ohio, but grew up in various different parts of the world. As an artist, she's been working in the arts since graduating from Swarthmore College in 1994. Since then, Grant has had her work exhibited in various prestigious spaces across the world, including the LACMA in Los Angeles, the Galerie Gradiva in Paris, and The Harris Lieberman Gallery in New York. <h6>Featured image credit: Albert L.
