The John Wick actor made an appearance at San Diego Comic-Con promoting his comic books series BRZRKR
Keanu Reeves is coming back strong after a knee injury earlier this year that sounds absolutely terrifying, but the actor is shaking it off well.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight at San Diego Comic-Con last week, where he was promoting his original comic book series BRZRKR, the 59-year-old confessed that his accident even impacted his filming schedule.
“Glad to see you doing well after that knee injury,” the publication told him, and Keanu continued: “We had a dance sequence that was on schedule. And I was like, ‘I can’t dance.’ So we ended up having to film it a few months later.”
During an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on July 22, Keanu first spoke about the accident, which took place on set in January and left him hobbling on crutches.
“I didn’t even know that this could happen on this material plane to the man that we think of as Neo and John Wick,” the late night host joked before asking the actor about what really happened.
“I had an ouchie!” Keanu quipped, and when Stephen jokingly asked: “What were you doing? Were you jumping from building to building, were you doing cartwheels past razor blades?” the Matrix star explained that the accident took place in January while filming Good Fortune with Seth Rogen and Keke Palmer.
“I was filming a scene with Aziz Ansari and Seth Rogen and we were in a cold plunge,” he began to explain. “I was loving it, I was standing there. We finish the scene, and you know when you’re cold and… I had a bathing suit and a towel, and you put it over your head and you do the cold shuffle?”
