"The Toolbox" of Keanu Reeves - The Making of an Action Star
"John Wick: Chapter 4 was the hardest physical role I've ever had in my career so far," Reeves revealed to Total Film, as reported by People. He's not just shooting guns and throwing punches this time; he's drifting cars and pulling 270s in the streets of Paris.
The Matrix star further explained the intensity of the stunts, saying, "We took the car-driving to the next level, which I really enjoy. There's 180s, forward-into-reverse 180s, reverse-into-forward 270s, drifting. … So it was really fun to get a chance to learn those skills, and to play." Talk about an adrenaline rush!
