But Keanu was amazing and exactly what you think hed be like so chill. But he looked after me in loads of different ways very much behind the scenes not telling me that he was doing something for me but making sure that it was done. Although him being one of the executive producers means that he had a hand in casting me so that was really crazy to comprehend.
Reeves has long been considered one of the nicest guys working in Hollywood and his resurgence in popularity with the John Wick franchise has led to more stories of his kindness making headlines than ever before. Not only does the actor train and rehearse constantly to be able to do many of his own stunts in the John Wick films but he also looks after those around him. Reeves is said to have bought each member of his stunt team on John Wick Chapter 4 a Rolex watch and the actor has also been seen helping to move and clean up equipment on set after filming.
Sawayamas character is only seen very briefly in the John Wick Chapter 4 trailer and its unclear how prominently she will actually feature in the film. While it remains to be seen whether Akira and John Wick will be enemies or allies on-screen its clear that behind the scenes Sawayama has nothing but praise for Reeves and his professionalism. Although the release date for John Wick Chapter 4 may still be quite far off there thankfully seems to be no end to the stories about Reeves which only serve to further his nice-guy reputation.
