The pensive action star visibly choked up when Stephen Colbert asked about his fondest memory from the film.
Keanu Reeves couldn’t be more thankful for the sci-fi mind-bender that made him an icon.
The pensive action star was visibly emotional when, during an appearance Tuesday on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” he was asked to share his fondest memory from various productions — and Colbert inquired about “The Matrix” on its 25th anniversary.
After an earnest pause that Colbert joked could be a commercial break, Reeves opened up.
“The Matrix changed my life,” the actor confessed. “And then, over these years, it’s changed so many other people’s lives in really positive and great ways. As an artist, you hope for that when you get to do a film or tell a story.”
“And so when you say these years and the amount of people that I have met who have said to me they have been touched by ‘The Matrix’ in such a positive way,” Reeves continued before another reflective pause, “it’s the best.”
