Armstrong revealed that Ryder and theBatman Beginsstar developed a strong bond with each other on the sets ofLittle Women. Their real-life bond was similar to the on-screen bond of their characters in the drama. She also shared that she was sure that Bale and Ryder had a good relationship but did not date. She recalled in an interview with Vulture,
“I think [Winona Ryder] said, ‘We were like brother and sister, but there was no romance.’ Winona was up there with her boyfriend at the time; she and Christian were buddies. But no, there were no romances — that I know of.”
Armstrong added that she believed the kissing scene between these two actors in the movie was the most uncomfortable moment for them.
“Considering their ages, and considering that they were buddies, probably the most awkward scene [for the two of them] would’ve been the kissing scene. I don’t think Christian had kissed too many people onscreen before. It was a genuine blush from Christian.”
