Christina Ricci - Johnny Depp Taught Me About Lesbianism When I Was 9
Depp was dating Winona Ryder when Ricci asked Ryder what being a lesbian was on the set of "Mermaids."
Ryder put Ricci on the phone with Depp to explain.
"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 turning to her "Mermaids" costar Winona Ryder for clarity. Ryder, who was dating Depp at the time, had trouble articulating homosexuality to the curious young actress, so she asked her partner to help.
"She was like, 'I don't know how...' so she put me on the phone with Johnny. And Johnny explained it to me,"
She said Depp used the "simplest terms" to explain homosexuality to her. "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.' And I was like, 'ah okay,'" Ricci recalled.
Why didn't she ask Cher who played her on-screen mom in "Mermaids"

It's really unbelievable to me that Christina grew up straight. She had so much dyke potential as a kid.

It's actually quite nice that no party in this story has yet retconned it, to make it so in the Year of Ninety-Ninety-Whenever Depp *actually* said that a lesbian can have a penis or desire to suck one. Johnny or Winona will probably issue a bowing scraping caping retraction in short order, though.

R14 really? How does she give off that vibe?
She did a fine and sensitive job playing lesbian with Charlize in MONSTER. Maybe she's just uber-professional or needed the work.

R18 yeah, that wasn't what I said at all. Just said that she took the job on MONSTER and seemed comfortable enough doing it and promoting it. Someone with crippling homophobia wouldn't have done even that much. As I mentioned, maybe she's just all about the work and puts her feelings or beliefs aside.
Personally I don't think Christina is a homophobe or see how she could be, but apparently others do, so.

I like Winona but she never seemed very bright to me. Johnny's a himbo and without his looks (which he destroyed with booze and coke anyway), he'd be working at a Walmart in Florida. Ricci is very well-adjusted for a former child star.

R29 Here. Christina Ricci was actually asked about what Vincent Gallo had called her and she just shrugged it off with something like "Oh, that's just Vincent".
Basically, the guy if off with the pixies and she took his comment about her with a grain of salt.
Christina Ricci does appear to be one of the most down to earth people working in the film industry and seems to have escaped unscathed by starting out in the industry as a child. She was of course a perfect choice for Wednesday Addams in that she appeared to be very mature and thoughtful as a child.

Why are people trying to make a thing out of this, Winona was an 18 year old trying to figure out how to explain sexuality to a 9 year old girl and wasn't comfortable so she asked her older boyfriend. There is nothing there.

90% of the headlines concerning the interview focus solely on her being told what homosexuality was at the age of 9
Why is that?
Seriously, from cnn to fox news, they make no mention of anything else but that Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder explained to her at the age of 9 what homosexuality was.
Why is that story and the only story, the only relevant thing out of her entire interview. Why is it such a big right now?

Amber did look more sporty and tomboy before her transformation to Hollywood glam vixen. She has this low-key lez vibe that Jessica Biel, Zendaya and Kristen Stewart give off.

I recall a study that found that only 6% of tomboys grow up to be bi or lesbian. The study is from the 90s or 2000s, though. Being nonstraight is such a huge fad among girls now, though, that I won't risk guessing what the numbers today would be. But no, tomboys are not inherently lesbians.

My mom was a tomboy and my sister is a tomboy who could easily be mistaken by some for a lesbian. Neither of them is gay at all.
The 'tomboy' thing is a good example of why it is important to differentiate sex and gender. Gender is how people present to the world.
Tomboys have always been more acceptable in our culture than guys who dress like girls are, but it's really the same thing. We are just used to one being normal and not to the other.
My mom almost always wore jeans and an oversized tee shirt. She almost never wore any makeup. She brushed her hair and eventually colored it with a wash at home but that was the extent of her 'beauty' routine. She was entirely at home in her skin.
My sister is similar, except her wardrobe is more varied. But she is most likely to wear (always) jeans and (almost always) a tee shirt or fleece sweatshirt, and (sometimes) a nice knit sweater. She wears blouses that are not very feminine at work and always pants. For her wedding, she seemed to short circuit and not know what to do. She wore a brown turtleneck sweater and a short brown suede skirt and high brown boots. It was WEIRD and she knew it and felt really self-conscious and is mortified by her wedding photo, but I suspect that happened because she couldn't imagine herself in a white wedding gown. I know her well enough to know she would feel as out of place in a gown as I would. Yet she isn't gay.
Women who are tomboys are not seem as transgender but they basically are because they feel uncomfortable and out of sorts when they have to wear girly women's clothing. And it has nothing to do with who they are sexually attracted to, just what makes them feel right about their own appearances.
