Christina Ricci says Johnny Depp taught her about homosexuality

“I was in the trailer for Wynona and she said, ‘I don’t know how to explain…’, so she put me on the phone with the Johnny. And he explained it to me,” he said. Christina. Recalling the link, Ricci comments that the actor explained everything ‘in the simplest terms there are’.

“He said, ‘That’s when a man wants to have sex with another man. And when a woman wants to have sex with another woman.’ And I said, ‘Okay,'” the actress said.

Cohen found this fact funny for a reason: the singer Cher, considered a pop icon for the LGBTQIAP+ community, was also part of the production’s cast. Rather than Wynona call her then-boyfriend, the actress could have taken Ricci to chat with the artist.

Remembering the fact, they both laughed and Ricci took the opportunity to comment on the hasty decision of Wynona. “Yes, I know, we should have run to the dressing room. Cher“, said the actress.
