The 30-year friendship between Winona Ryder and Reeves began backstage in Bram Stoker’s Dracula in 1992. The actress said that when the director of the feature, Francis Ford Coppola, ordered Reeves to be nasty to her to make her cry during a scene, the star categorically refused, a situation that served to create a bond between co-stars.

In addition, during an interview given in 2018 to promote the film With Who Will It Be?, Winona spoke about her scene partner, admitting that Reeves was “the best”. And when asked what makes the actor so special, she replied: “He is one of the people I most enjoy working with and having around.” The actress added, “I knew the movie would only work with people I had great chemistry with, and that’s what we always felt we had.”

Sandra Bullock and the action movie icon met on the set of Maximum Speed, a production that served as the beginning of a lifelong friendship. She said the prolific actor really deserves the reputation as a “nice guy”, adding: “He’s a good listener and he drives people crazy.” To illustrate the statement, the actress revealed an interesting story. On one occasion Bullock recounted that she had never eaten truffles in her life. A few days after hearing the statement, Reeves went to the actress’ house with flowers and truffles.

Reeves’ colleague in the cast of John Wick 3: Parabellum, actress Halle Berry is also full of praise for the star, who she highlights the sense of professionalism. In an interview, Halle claimed to enjoy working with him so much to the point of being willing to earn broken ribs in order to keep up with the star’s considerable pace, in addition to wanting to impress him on the film set.

Reeves joined the Toy Story 4 franchise as motorcycle-obsessed toy Duke Caboom, ensuring the character felt “real and grounded”. This was revealed by the producer of the feature, Jonas Rivera. “He asked very deep questions about the characters, and he didn’t just come to do a funny cartoon voice. He goes deep. He is one of the most thinking actors we have ever worked with,” added Rivera.

Chris Evans is also a self-confessed fan of Keanu Reeves. After releasing a video on Twitter showing the Toy Story 4 star in the recording studio preparing his voice, the Avengers: Infinity War actor praised Reeves’ vocal performance. To that end, he made a tweet in response: “If they only released two hours of this and called it Toy Story 4, I’d probably still watch it twice in the theater.”

In addition, Evans expressed his deep admiration for his professional colleague during an interview, in which he was asked about the experience of working with Reeves on Street Kings: “Man, he’s amazing. He’s the type of actor I love to work with. He is very determined. He is dedicated to making sense of everything, which is very generous when you are in the studio.🇧🇷 Evans added: “He’s very centered, very present, someone you can’t unbalance.”

When we go back in time to 2001, we remember that Michael B. Jordan starred in Hardball — The Game of Life with none other than Neo himself, Keanu Reeves. And recently, Jordan praised the film’s star, saying, “When we were in production, Keanu took the whole cast out to dinner. That’s when we got the chance to meet his Matrix co-star Laurence Fishburne. To this day, I remember thinking to myself in astonishment, ‘This must be what movie stars do: take their co-stars out to dinner with other great actors.’

Priyanka Chopra defined Reeves as a “great co-worker and a really nice guy”. In Matrix Resurrections, the actress remembers feeling intimidated and extremely nervous, and it was Reeves who noticed the state of her scene partner, comforting her by saying that she had done a great job. “Just having someone like him, with a prolific career spanning almost 40 years, appreciating and encouraging me was wonderful,” said Priyanka.

Purab Kohli, also an actor in The Matrix Resurrections, was another one who opened up about working with Reeves. “It was a great moment working alongside a Hollywood star,” he said. “I did a little bit with Keanu Reeves, and recording with him…he’s one of the biggest stars in the world, and when you’re together, he’s on exactly the same level as you, and that being himself.”

As if all that wasn’t enough, Reeves’ John Wick co-stars also turned out to have plenty of positive things to say about him, revealing what the star did on the film’s set.

Ian McShane recalled that Reeves brought him tea. Lance Reddick said he asked Reeves if he wanted the scene done differently, adding that the star ended up reassuring him, saying, “No, man. You just do what you know.” Lastly, Mark Dacascos was keen to talk about how collaborative Reeves was: “All the good things you hear about Keanu… are true!” he stated.

Acclaimed director Richard Linklater, who teamed with Reeves on The Double Man, said: “You’re just intrigued. Whatever’s going through his head, it’s worth paying attention to.” The director continued: “The most important part of his qualities is that, you know, I’m sure everyone says what a kind hearted and kind guy he is. And he’s not pretending, he’s not asking for votes or anything. Still, he oozes decency.”

Former stuntman and director Chad Stahelski did not hesitate to make it clear that Reeves is the real reason for the success of the John Wick franchise: “When you talk to people who really like the movie and ask why they like it, I think that, in a big part of it that can’t be underestimated is because of Keanu Reeves.”

Stahelski went on to state, “I’m trying to bare my soul, who I am and how I tell the story, but if you saw the guy work, you’d be pretty shocked. He gives his all in every scene, he doesn’t leave the studio, he’s the last one out of the gym at night, and he always brings his ideas. It’s his forte. The franchise is his. It’s him spilling out across the screen.”
