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".
