Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci had a candid conversation about learning what it meant to be gay when Ricci was just 9 years old and working with Depp's then-girlfriend, Winona Ryder, on the '90s classic, "Mermaids." The "Yellowjackets" star recalled the conversation while chatting with Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM's "Radio Andy" show, and remembered later working with Depp on "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." "Johnny [Depp] is actually the person who explained to me what homosexuality was when I was 9," she said.

And how did that come up and how did he explain it?" "There was something going on on-set and someone was not being nice to someone else," Ricci said. "And they were like, ‘Oh, well he might be homophobic.' And then I was like, 'Well, I don't understand what that is.' And, and I was in Winona's [Ryder] trailer, and she was like, 'I don't know how … ' So, she put me on the phone with Johnny.
