“There was something going on on set and someone was not being nice to someone else. And they were like, ‘Oh, well, he might be homophobic.’ And then I was like, ‘Well, I don’t understand what that is,'” Ricci recalled in the interview. “And I was in Winona’s trailer and she was like, ‘I don’t know how (to explain).’ So she put me on the phone with Johnny, and Johnny explained it to me.”
Ricci said she was 9 years old at the time and that Depp explained the term to her “very matter-of-factly.”
“He was like, ‘It’s when a man wants to have sex with a man and when a woman wants to have sex with a woman,'” Ricci said. “And I was like, ‘Ah, okay,'”
Cohen joked that he didn’t know why Ryder enlisted Depp’s help “when you’ve got Cher in the next trailer.”
Ricci laughed. “I know, we should have run right over there.”
