Hollywood is a place full of dreams, glamour, talent and money, but it's also where many celebrities met their best friends, and their friendships have stood the test of time. One such adorable duo is Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder, whose friendship spans more than 30 years, and they have collaborated on several films.
Between 1987 and 1988, Reeves and Ryder met at the Independent Spirit Awards at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. From that meeting onwards, their friendship blossomed; they spent time together, and at one point even admitted to having a "healthy crush" on each other. Although they were never romantically linked, they joked that they got married in secret in the presence of real priests and film director Francis Ford Coppola.
Over the years, both have developed notable careers, with Reeves known for his work in "The Matrix" and the "John Wick" franchise, and Ryder known for projects such as "Beetlejuice," "Little Women," "Edward Scissorhands." , and the "Stranger Things" series, reports the portal movieweb.com, which compiled this list.

In order to stop this dangerous drug supply, the government has formed a network of secret agents to infiltrate the groups responsible for drug trafficking.

Oscar winner Francis Ford Coppola, who is known for his work on films such as 'The Godfather' and 'Apocalypse Now', brings a film adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel, 'Dracula', titled 'Bram Stoker's Dracula'. After defeating the Ottoman Empire, Vlad Dracula (Gary Oldman) learns that the news of his faked death caused his wife Elizabeth to commit suicide, and she is now condemned to hell. Devastated and shocked, Dracula becomes a vampire to avenge his wife's death.
In the present, he meets Jonathan Harker (Reeves), who helps him buy real estate in London. He soon comes across a picture of Jonathan's fiancee Mina (Ryder), whom he believes to be the reincarnation of his dead wife. He captures Jonathan, goes to London to meet Mina and develops a relationship with her.
According to Ryder, the wedding scene in this film was not staged, but actually happened with Romanian priests "before God". Of course, they were probably just joking in interviews, because today they remain good friends and have their own lives - but obviously, when they're together, there's no denying their chemistry."
