Winona Ryder revealed that she experienced being bullied in high school because of her movie "Beetlejuice."
The blockbuster comedy-fantasy film did not make Ryder cool among her high school mates, according to Yahoo. Instead, it made her high school life less cheery.
"I did 'Beetlejuice' and it was a big movie, but it didn't help my high school experience," said the 44-year old actress. "In fact, it made it worse. I was a freak and a witch."
Ryder was sixteen years old when she played the role of Lydia Deetz in Tim Burton's "Beetlejuice."
The "Reality Bites" star also commented on rumors that Burton and Michael Keaton are allegedly coming-up with a sequel of the film.
"I don't know. There's something that really resonates with all ages, with that film," Ryder averred. "It's interesting. I think it would be great if it happened if it was the right circumstances."
Ryder also recalled her experiences in filming the 1999 hit "Girl, Interrupted" wherein she played the role of mentally troubled Susanna Kaysen. Among her co-stars in this film were Angelina Jolie, Brittany Murphy, Clea DuVall and Jared Leto.
According to Ryder, she has some similarities with the role she portrayed in the film.
"I wish I could unknown this but there is a perception of me that I'm supersensitive and fragile. And I am supersensitive, and I don't think that that's a bad thing," Ryder added.
Meanwhile, fans of Ryder are now overwhelmed in seeing her back on mainstream entertainment industry. Ryder can now be seen in Netflix hit "Stranger Things" wherein she portrays the role of single mother Joyce Byers.
For many viewers, it is a treat to see the award-winning actress in this thrilling Netflix-original drama series.
Aside from her authenticity as an actress, Ryder is deemed by many as the perfect person for the role, according to the Rolling Stone.
The same publication also cited that Ryder is the perfect representation of teenagers who want their voices to be heard. Since 1980s, Ryder's film characters are somehow advocating for people who want to make a difference in the world. In "Stranger Things," Ryder becomes the heroic mother of her teenager son - a character that befits the usual heroine role of Ryder.
