“That's what makes it good,” the 60-year-old actor said.
Keanu Reeves might’ve looked bad-ass during his action sequences in the “John Wick” franchise, but according to the actor, his skillful moves came with a stomach turning price.
While attending a 10th anniversary screening of the franchise’s first film on Sunday in Los Angeles, Reeves, 60, got candid about how performing the physically demanding stunts as the gun-toting hitman cost him his lunch at times.
“I had so many wonderful teachers and guidance, and worked with so many talented actors, actresses and stunt people in the sense of it’s such a dance and collaboration and cooperation,” he said during a panel discussion with co-star Ian McShane, co-director Chad Stahelski and producer Erica Lee, People magazine reported.
Reeves added, “So there’s a couple of times where you throw up or puke or whatever, but that’s what makes it good!”
“John Wick,” which follows a retired assassin who is thrust back into the criminal underworld after being harassed by a crime lord’s son, first premiered in 2014. The box office hit spawned three sequels, with “John Wick 4” most recently hitting theaters in March 2023.
