Winona Ryder was banned from marrying Johnny Depp by her father. The actress - who met the heartthrob actor on the set of 1990 film 'Edward Scissorhands' and was engaged to him for around three years - has revealed her dad Michael Horowitz forbid the pair from tying the knot because she was only 17 at the time. In a joint interview with Vogue magazine, Horowitz recalled: 'They were the hottest couple in the US at that time, like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are now. They were cool.' Ryder said: 'But you stopped a wedding.' To which Horowitz replied: 'We loved Johnny but you were 17.' Ryder, now 35, split from Depp in 1993. During their relationship the Sweeney Todd actor had a tattoo etched onto his arm which read 'Winona Forever'. However, after their separation he had the body art changed to read 'Wino Forever'. Ryder - who was arrested for shoplifting in 2001 - has since dated Soul Asylum frontman Dave Pirner and actor Matt Damon. Depp is now in a long-term relationship with French star Vanessa Paradis. The couple have two children together, five-year-old son John Jack and eight-year-old daughter Lily-Rose. (C)
