Ryder talks about Depp heartbreak

Winona Ryder has discussed the way she handled her break-up with Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp.

The couple enjoyed a four-year-long romance in the early '90s, labelling it a "fiercely deep love", but their split in 1993 prompted the young actress to go through a period of solitary wallowing.

She told Contactmusic: "I was embarrassingly dramatic at the time. But you have to remember I was only 19 years old. I attempted being an alcoholic for two weeks, spending a lot of time in my hotel room, drinking screwdrivers from the mini-bar, smoking cigarettes and listening to Tom Waits."
