Keanu Reeves recently discussed the intense stunts performed on the sets of his John Wick movies. In an interview with ComicBook.com ahead of the release of John Wick: Chapter 4, he shared a couple of regretful incidents that occurred during the filming. He shared, “In terms of accidents: I made a mistake once — I cut a gentleman’s head open. So that really f***ing sucked (excuse my language).”

He also mentioned, “But other than that — oh, one guy got hit by a car. He was in the car, so he had to go to the hospital, but he was okay.”

According to him, despite the intensity of the stunts, nothing more serious has occurred on set. He acknowledged the importance of taking care and ensuring the safety of everyone involved, and expressed appreciation that the team looks out for each other. He also lightened the mood by jokingly mimicking a PSA announcement and stating that although there may be some bruises and aches, no humans were harmed in the filming of the motion picture.

This highlights the positive culture on set, where safety measures are taken seriously, and everyone is working together to deliver the best possible performance. It is a testament to the professionalism and dedication of those involved in the production.

Keanu first gained recognition for his role in the 1986 film, River’s Edge, and went on to achieve mainstream success with the science fiction film Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (1989) and its sequel. He gained further critical acclaim with his portrayal of Neo in the Matrix trilogy (1999-2003).
