He's also soooo not Johnny lol. He is such a genuine and kind man, and that comes through in his performance. Johnny isn't a good guy. He's complicated and genuinely an asshole.
I like how Keanu isn't just a voice in the game but is actually heavily invested in his character and the world. He's super into it and the commitment shows in the final product.
Watching this interview you can see how much he grasps about not only his character, but the world he plays a part in, as well as the characters he interacts with. His descriptions of Hansen and Reed are spot on. He's absolutely not just there to read lines, which makes him an amazing choice for the character he plays, and part of what makes cyberpunk so good.
i wonder if he was contractually obliged to stick with the project for this long. No one would've blamed him if he cut and run after the disastrous launch.
Like he said when he was first announced, he aint into videogames and never planned on being in a game but when he was told the story and character he would play he was hooked and wanted to be part of it.
I love how dudes like Keanu and Henry Cavill are so invested in the universes they've been cast in - Witcher / Warhammer for Cavill, Cyberpunk for Keanu.
Why does it matter if people look up to celebrities if they are (or at least appear to be) good people. And if we are taking the word by it’s actual meaning then any famous person is a celebrity. Would you be apposed to someone looking up to Desmond doss for example?
@@cornpop838 i think anybody can be a role model. Could be a politician, a celebrity, your school janitor. You dont need to conform yourself to only looking up a certain genre of successful people. Keanu has been seen as a genuine guy; giving up his seat in the subway, talking to homeless people, to talking about his bikes. Guy is a solid individual
Respectfully, he not fragile, or brittle, but in a way he does look fragile, but isn’t. Man endured the most harsh experiences that anyone could live through, that I have high respect for him.
And dude has millions in his pocket yet rides the subway. Helps out many without any fanfare or anything. Just a good human all around. We all could learn from h I m
He's super passionate about this. His enthusiasm is just clear as day, and I love that he understands the world of Cyberpunk pretty well. I'm glad they got him to be able to bring more Johnny for the expansion. God Cyberpunk is actually so good rn.
Incredible! I recently had a memorable encounter with Keanu Reeves through Radiant Reservation. After seeing his interview on Entertainment News where he talked about engaging with fans via an exclusive fan community, I never imagined I'd be part of it. Keanu was incredibly authentic and approachable, making our meeting truly special. His genuine commitment to his supporters is evident, and the excitement of meeting him still has me floating on air.
No way! That's incredible! I caught that Entertainment News interview too, and it's so heartwarming to hear about celebrities like Keanu Reeves going the extra mile for their fans. Radiant Reservation sounds like a dream come true! How did it all happen? I'm living vicariously through you right now!
Right?! I still can't believe it happened,All that is required upon discovering them is a straightforward response to emails. So,I joined this private fan club /Group via Radiant Reservation and they organize meetings with public figure It's like winning the lottery! Meeting Keanu Reeves was surreal. He's even more charming in person.
I found RR. Radiant Reservation is a fantastic community, that help make any form of arrangements with celebrities or public figures and are incredible supportive
Meeting Keanu Reeves is like a bucket list item for so many people. Thanks for sharing your incredible experience! I’ll definitely look into joining the club .
I feel exactly how u feel bro but man I feel it was very bitter sweet to finish up the game with a dlc and plus 2 great new updates. (2.0 and 2.1) And they did say 2.0 was the last majors update but man 2.1 with the ncart and the ‘I want to stay at your house’ quest is nothing more than enjoyable and feels like they are thanking us in a way? For sticking and believing in CDPR to go above the hurdles that they got and delivered us a masterpiece (Sorry for bad punctuation)
I remember when he was first cast as Johnny I was nervous that he would just be a gimmick, but he really gave the character soul and I can’t wait to see more of it!
When i first played the game, i just couldn't believe how much Keanu was actually _in it_. Like it's a huge role, i thought he was just gonna be a few cameos for whatever CDPR could afford, but he was a full character, like basically a secondary main character. I bought the game on sale & didnt play it until the next gen version dropped, & i honestly wish i'd payed more. There's so much that makes up for the glitchyness & i think i'll preoder the DLC just to show support- which is something i've never done as a gamer...
I think Keanu is an amazing actor with a lot of depth and commitment to any project he takes on but based on the original material, I would say (and this is with my own biases, yes) Jared Leto as an actor and person would have been a better fit... and for the very reasons people are offended by that notion, that is why I think Leto would have been better LOL But again Keanu is an amazing actor and I appreciate his dedication and commitment to whatever he works on.

I love that the line between Johnny and Keanu begins to blur as the interview goes on. He’s taken the role personally and you can tell he truly enjoys the character and the idea of the character.
Johnny Silverhand is one of my favorite characters ever. He went through so much that he became a different person, making everything and everyone expendable to fight for his cause. The cost of that is measurable when he wakes up as an engram and realizes that nothing he did amounted to anything and nobody remembers him. Worse yet, the few that remember him don't think fondly of him. Even with the help of V, he's never quite able to make amends with the people that he hurt. He's a tragic character and V is the only person he is able to try to do something right with his life in a miraculous second chance. It's a deeply affecting narrative and I have zero clue how anyone thought Cyberpunk wasn't an amazing piece of storytelling.
I *fucking* love the interactions between V and Johnny. Dudes separated by a generation but the world's still the same shit. And Keanu does a masterful job of expressing just how scornful Johnny is, how self absorbed he is.
That gonna be a spoiler, but i am gonna say V in new ending (V surviving) after 2 years coma felt lost and remembered that Johnny went through the same but bigger (so much). Felt realy bad for killing Johnny.
Besides his many iconic movies we can watch over and over, it's awesome to have an immortalized version of Keanu we can actually interact with. Silverhand is probably my favorite of all the characters named 'John' that he's played.
You can tell he had so much fun with this role. IMO it's one of his best, showing off his range as an actor. He completely stole the show in cyberpunk.
One of the best interview ever from an actor about a video game, we can clearly see that they just gave bullet points to the interviewer what to talk about and Jonny just picks it up in its own way and talks about his point of view about the city, looks like there were no scripts involved in this interview, soo much fun to watch these kind of interviews.

Sadly so far as we know Johnny no longer exists by the end of cyberpunk 2077 he merges with alt, all engrams become and join into alt so sadly Johnny truly does as far as we know
@@lexibeard4404 well technically he could've also taken V's body, but to have him in another game it would require a cannon ending. And to be honest, I really do think it'd be better if we got a completely different story and characters. V's story has been told, let's not potentially ruin it with a follow up
Having Keanu as Johnny was the best investment in this game. I'm 51 and I've been playing Cyberpunk 2077 and loving the storyline, its execution and evolution. This interview is gold. Thank you KR.
It feels like Johnny and Keanu's part in Cyberpunk 2077 really takes from so many of the roles he's played over the years. The way he explains Johnny as a character, and how we get to see tht character over time, makes me think he really appreciates just how much more acting and nuance goes into a well written character in a game that people play for weeks on end - as opposed to a two hour movie with limited screen time for said character in those two hours. I think he enjoys the role of Johnny, cause he really played the part so well. As someone who grew up around people who were usually considered "bad" and "criminals" by most, I can appreciate the nuance and reasoning behind Johnny, and who is is at heart.
That ending to the interview was so held back and for all the right reasons. I’m sure Keanu knew damn well as the rest of us, that Johnny would give some sort of back handed compliment but Keanu just can’t be that rude 🤣🤣🖤
450 hours ploud into one character on this game (corpo) and im no where near done exploring or finding things, and the fact that Keanu Reeves just pops up in my game every now and then quite frankly is the best thing ever. Never have I actually wanted to explore and find things about lore like I have with Cyberpunk, you took my child hood dreams of Blade Runner, Total Recal and the Fith element and made tham come to life. Thank you Mike Pondsmith and CD-Project Red for giving us this amazing world to explore!
the that's a bit missleading for most people. i've done everything i could do with one char after 130 hours and i didn't rush thinks. anyway, hope u have still a good time playing, choom!
@@huhuu7093 Nothing missleading at all, guess i just enjoy exploring more than you do. As you quantify your experiance by "doing everything you can do" - which actually is missleading as its very factual that you have not done everything, if you have please tell me the answer to FF:06:B5. I am legit 450 hours into the game, on one character and still have not completed NCPD missions, side gigs or things like that. I have spent a good 300 hours just wandering around looking at all the pretty stuff in game. Reading Logs and entries, looking into emails and peacing together the bread crumbs of the world. If you managed to understand 41 years of lore (cyberpunt was founded in 1982) thats crammed into this game and understand it in 130 hours.. you should be working on space rockets not in the youtube comments section.
in one of the interviews he said that he don't play video games at all including CP xd But i agree with you, he speaks passionately about a game he knows nothing about
Keanu is so sweet, the first time that I saw Johnny cursing (without asking beforehand if he could) I was actually surprised lol He's breathtaking, such a good soul. You can see in his eyes that he went through a lot, yet he's so gentle.
Best thing about this guy is that he's not just sweet and cool and such a great person on camera ,he's like that all the time , he's not fake like majority of the Hollywood actors
Keanu Reeves has made this massive fighting/tactical training for Matrix and Johny Wick. He seems to like it and likes it today. All the people he was practising with and all guys that got in touch with him said the same thing. "Very passionate and honest guy, a bit weird but in a very positive way."
Fr, I got so much respect for the producers. At 1:23 when the choir came in I naturally stopped listening to their conversation and just listened to the music, had to rewind lmao
@@spritsfal5088 CDPR released one of the best games ever, with the Witcher 3... with Cyberpunk 2077 and all its faults, it's still one of the most immersive experiences I've ever played. Beneath the rough exterior and messy launch there's a gem of a game, one that's able to produce impactful emotional moments through its storytelling that most other games could only dream of. Don't crucify a company for their first major stumble, especially one that's already proven their ability to create a true masterpiece.
They couldn’t have chosen anyone better to work with for this game! Keanu actually cares about the role and it just makes Cyberpunk that much better. ❤️
Thank you for your support and love, I see you’re an amazing fan, I think I have seen your comments before and I appreciate you for being so lovely fan. ❤❤❤
We all thought keanu would show up for a few seconds and leave but he plays a rather pivotal role in the plot and I am so happy I got all the endings in the game and I cannot wait for the phantom liberty
The casting in this series is phenomenal. The main game and the DLC. CDPR are true masters of making adult entertainment games. They are my go to every time.
@@spritsfal5088 I played Witcher 1-3 plus the expansions. Yes I played Cyberpunk and in it's state right now it's easily one of the best adult story driven games out there. With the addition of their DLC and how great they are at telling stories, their legacy will continue to grow. EVERY games company has issues.. CDPR had one, but they make games with passion, not just to make a quick $
I really hope they bring Keanu back for cyberpunk Orion and any live action projects.. In the next game he won't be a main but it would still be cool to see some footage and flashbacks.. And if they really are doing a cyberpunk movie or show they have to do Johnny Silverhand and the lead up to the arasaka bombing
Dude, if we ever get a movie, Keanu would honestly deserve an Oscar; it's a must because, damn! This game is a rollercoaster of emotions, and having Johnny Silverhand on your shoulder 24/7 is truly awesome. You get angry at him, you get scared, sad, and then you start loving the guy and what V and he accomplished. This role, wouldn't have been done any better if it weren't for Keanu Reeves. (also this amazing team of writers and programmers!) Recently bought the game, and now I cannot wait to buy the new expansion, dying to see Idris Elba in this world!
Keanu is one of the nicest guys in the world...He's passionate about his Johnny Silverhand character...Can't wait for Phantom Liberty to come out...Super Cool that he's from Hawaii, near where I live...He always manages to put a smile on everyone's faces!!
I’ve never been more excited about a dlc in my life. Grew up loving Keanu in bill and Ted and just seeing him like this makes me so happy for him and cp2077 is one of top games of all time I can’t get enough. V and Johnny have such an amazing dynamic and the voice actor for V (male, never played as female) is just epic but I’ve heard the female V is epic as well!!
I usually hate the waste of celebrity in games, as it detracts from a great gaming experience. In this case, I started out hating Keanu's involvement in this game, but since 2.0, phantom liberty, and finally diving into this game (now that it's worth playing), it's really growing on me in ways I never expected. This game is finally in a really great place, and super captivating. Coming to this from Starfield, I'm amazed at how much more engaging the content is... I'm not falling asleep listening to the dialog. It's all so immersive. I hope we see a sequel to this, now, amazing game!
I love Keanu. He's that chill guy everyone would feel great around. Even while in the flesh and bones of Johnny, you can still see his deeply good nature inside. Maybe it's the writers, or maybe it's just the way Keanu plays the character, but Johnny really feels like a great fit for him. Kudos to CDPR for doing such a amazing job with their actors!
Johnny is a volatile radical dude but they share with Keanu the phylosophical and social smarts and empathy. The reality is Johnny would shoot your legs from under you when Keanu would pick you up. Also, Johnny Silverhand would have banged that interviewer a few minutes after the end of that interview.
LMAO you can see the excitement all over Keanu when he talks about his role as Johnny. All those acting roles and he is as excited like this is his first gig almost like a little kid. Crazy how he finds ways to keep himself young. Absolutely amazing performance from Keanu I am so glad we are all enjoying the character as much as he did playing him.
I just finished Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time and I have to say, Keanu as Johnny Silverhand was awesome. He's very charismatic in it and has some of the best and amusing dialogue. He should do more roles like that in movies.
Honestly, of all the celebrities I think about meeting and what work I do, if I met Keanu I’d just say thank you. Simple “Thank you”. That’s all. I don’t know another person that deserves that, an honest, heartfelt and kindhearted Thank you.
"Shit's gone down in Dogtown"

@@QueenMiracle46 it's better to think that way tbf, that way you won tbe dissapointed. Every game they have dropped had a horrible launch, if this one is the exception it will be a welcome surprise, if not then you wont be dissapointed
@@jordankelly4684!NO!
Im Excited Equaly for Both So Hyped
This guy is just amazing. You can tell he's genuine.
That was great to watch. I had a huge grin on my face the entire time. 🥚 🎸 🤘
Keanu Reeves is such a nice guy. I hope he’s happy and safe. He’s genuinely so cool and kind. Hope he keeps safe.
This man is my childhood, need him in more video games! Hope he is johnny in cyberpunk 2
Sadly so far as we know Johnny no longer exists by the end of cyberpunk 2077 he merges with alt, all engrams become and join into alt so sadly Johnny truly does as far as we know
@@lexibeard4404 well technically he could've also taken V's body, but to have him in another game it would require a cannon ending. And to be honest, I really do think it'd be better if we got a completely different story and characters. V's story has been told, let's not potentially ruin it with a follow up
It was not just a role to play for Keanu. Johnny is truly a part of him.
Keanu fit so well in Johnny's character that I can't help hearing some of Johnny everytime he speaks.
Having Keanu as Johnny was the best investment in this game. I'm 51 and I've been playing Cyberpunk 2077 and loving the storyline, its execution and evolution. This interview is gold. Thank you KR.
It feels like Johnny and Keanu's part in Cyberpunk 2077 really takes from so many of the roles he's played over the years. The way he explains Johnny as a character, and how we get to see tht character over time, makes me think he really appreciates just how much more acting and nuance goes into a well written character in a game that people play for weeks on end - as opposed to a two hour movie with limited screen time for said character in those two hours. I think he enjoys the role of Johnny, cause he really played the part so well. As someone who grew up around people who were usually considered "bad" and "criminals" by most, I can appreciate the nuance and reasoning behind Johnny, and who is is at heart.
That ending to the interview was so held back and for all the right reasons. I’m sure Keanu knew damn well as the rest of us, that Johnny would give some sort of back handed compliment but Keanu just can’t be that rude 🤣🤣🖤
450 hours ploud into one character on this game (corpo) and im no where near done exploring or finding things, and the fact that Keanu Reeves just pops up in my game every now and then quite frankly is the best thing ever. Never have I actually wanted to explore and find things about lore like I have with Cyberpunk, you took my child hood dreams of Blade Runner, Total Recal and the Fith element and made tham come to life. Thank you Mike Pondsmith and CD-Project Red for giving us this amazing world to explore!
the that's a bit missleading for most people. i've done everything i could do with one char after 130 hours and i didn't rush thinks. anyway, hope u have still a good time playing, choom!
@@huhuu7093 Nothing missleading at all, guess i just enjoy exploring more than you do. As you quantify your experiance by "doing everything you can do" - which actually is missleading as its very factual that you have not done everything, if you have please tell me the answer to FF:06:B5.
I am legit 450 hours into the game, on one character and still have not completed NCPD missions, side gigs or things like that.
I have spent a good 300 hours just wandering around looking at all the pretty stuff in game. Reading Logs and entries, looking into emails and peacing together the bread crumbs of the world. If you managed to understand 41 years of lore (cyberpunt was founded in 1982) thats crammed into this game and understand it in 130 hours.. you should be working on space rockets not in the youtube comments section.
@@ChaoticPinky you murdered him...
@@ChaoticPinky that FF:06:B5 is a stupid point because it could be literally nothing
@@Gutek524 Even tho the devs Quest Director confirmed it is a real thing and is something solvable...
U can tell how passionate and immersed he is in the game
in one of the interviews he said that he don't play video games at all including CP xd But i agree with you, he speaks passionately about a game he knows nothing about
"shits gone down, in dog town." great line.
"Can I swear?" He's just so sweet. ❤
Keanu is so sweet, the first time that I saw Johnny cursing (without asking beforehand if he could) I was actually surprised lol He's breathtaking, such a good soul. You can see in his eyes that he went through a lot, yet he's so gentle.
Im glad there are dudes Like Keanu in this world. There is a true authenticity to that man that you dont much see anymore.
Keanu Reeves may not be a gamer, but damn is he ever invested in his roles. Love you keanu!
Such a chill dude, it seem like the perfect person to chat with.
Nothing is more precious than an actor who loves his character. That's priceless.
Hard to to put in words how likeable Keanu is💛
Keanu is the best human being out there... you can´t never be indifferent about it...
I’m so glad he got put in a game, and that the game was Cyberpunk
I hope he gets put in more and more games
Best thing about this guy is that he's not just sweet and cool and such a great person on camera ,he's like that all the time , he's not fake like majority of the Hollywood actors
Keanu Reeves has made this massive fighting/tactical training for Matrix and Johny Wick. He seems to like it and likes it today. All the people he was practising with and all guys that got in touch with him said the same thing. "Very passionate and honest guy, a bit weird but in a very positive way."
This ambient music is amazing! Creeps all over my back! 😍🔥
I can't wait and, as usual, applause for Marcin Przybyłowicz and P.T. Adamczyk !! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
One of these towards the end sounded quite a lot like one from hitman and it fits the theme sooo well
Oh man I just realized we're getting new soundtracks...god I can't wait for this to drop
Fr, I got so much respect for the producers. At 1:23 when the choir came in I naturally stopped listening to their conversation and just listened to the music, had to rewind lmao
Keanu - a proper legend for a proper legendary game
The legend, the man who's breathtaking and always good ❤
LOVE how Keanu really buys in and pours himself into this great character...awesome.
So ready for this expansion!
@@spritsfal5088 CDPR released one of the best games ever, with the Witcher 3... with Cyberpunk 2077 and all its faults, it's still one of the most immersive experiences I've ever played. Beneath the rough exterior and messy launch there's a gem of a game, one that's able to produce impactful emotional moments through its storytelling that most other games could only dream of. Don't crucify a company for their first major stumble, especially one that's already proven their ability to create a true masterpiece.
They couldn’t have chosen anyone better to work with for this game! Keanu actually cares about the role and it just makes Cyberpunk that much better. ❤️
Thank you for your support and love, I see you’re an amazing fan, I think I have seen your comments before and I appreciate you for being so lovely fan. ❤❤❤
Man I love Keanu and I love how great he was as Johnny Silverhands
Hes such a cool dude. Just a genuine character. They made a really cool character with him.
We all thought keanu would show up for a few seconds and leave but he plays a rather pivotal role in the plot and I am so happy I got all the endings in the game and I cannot wait for the phantom liberty
No one could do Johnny like Keanu; it wouldn't be the same game, far from the same experience.
This is no expansion, that's a whole game reboot 2.0. Looking forward to it!
I trust the company I hope they won't screw up like they did earlier
Edit- fatherless Sean7332 d0g below me👇
Sheep
@@sean7332 You just described your mom that's crazy bro.
@@sean7332 dipshit look into the content coming with it. They reworked the entire game basically on top of the new stuff.
@@SwashbucklingLogan owned that fatherless and his LGBT mother👍
Guys you made a great game. Such ´´cinema´´ I have to say. i really enjoyed. Bring back Keanu for another thing!!!!
The casting in this series is phenomenal. The main game and the DLC. CDPR are true masters of making adult entertainment games. They are my go to every time.
@@spritsfal5088 It’s not terrible. Solid 7.5 with an 8 world. Launch just sucked.
@@spritsfal5088 I played Witcher 1-3 plus the expansions.
Yes I played Cyberpunk and in it's state right now it's easily one of the best adult story driven games out there. With the addition of their DLC and how great they are at telling stories, their legacy will continue to grow. EVERY games company has issues.. CDPR had one, but they make games with passion, not just to make a quick $
@@spritsfal5088you clearly never played cyberpunk because the game is fucking good
@@spritsfal5088man your comment aged so bad. U must feel like such a m*ron.
@@spritsfal5088 have you? I started playing only when 2.1 launched and I'd say it's a solid 9.5/10 for me.
I love it when Keanu says "Yeah" and "Guns. Lots of Guns" Makes his character fell unique
Always love to see this man talk about his character. Plain and simply awesome.
I really hope they bring Keanu back for cyberpunk Orion and any live action projects.. In the next game he won't be a main but it would still be cool to see some footage and flashbacks.. And if they really are doing a cyberpunk movie or show they have to do Johnny Silverhand and the lead up to the arasaka bombing
Keanu and Johnny are two completely different people, kinda wild how well he plays him 🔥
Yes trees are easy to molest they like it😅
Dude, if we ever get a movie, Keanu would honestly deserve an Oscar; it's a must because, damn! This game is a rollercoaster of emotions, and having Johnny Silverhand on your shoulder 24/7 is truly awesome. You get angry at him, you get scared, sad, and then you start loving the guy and what V and he accomplished. This role, wouldn't have been done any better if it weren't for Keanu Reeves. (also this amazing team of writers and programmers!) Recently bought the game, and now I cannot wait to buy the new expansion, dying to see Idris Elba in this world!
I love Keanu!! Amazing!! Simply amazing!!
Absolutely gorgeous. Inside and out. His entire deminor
Keanu is one of the nicest guys in the world...He's passionate about his Johnny Silverhand character...Can't wait for Phantom Liberty to come out...Super Cool that he's from Hawaii, near where I live...He always manages to put a smile on everyone's faces!!
Keanu is just amazing actor man, John Wick, Johnny Silverhand, Neo, Jack Traven
I’ve never been more excited about a dlc in my life. Grew up loving Keanu in bill and Ted and just seeing him like this makes me so happy for him and cp2077 is one of top games of all time I can’t get enough. V and Johnny have such an amazing dynamic and the voice actor for V (male, never played as female) is just epic but I’ve heard the female V is epic as well!!
Female V is so cool the voice actress put her heart and soul into it. I haven't heard much of male V myself because I played a female character.
Keanu loves he was part of it. It’s an absolutely iconic game and prob my fav ever made im so glad I was around to play it even with glitches!
One of the most fun interviews i ever seen ❤
So glad he never gave up on cyberpunk!
Every time I play the game and he pops up I wish they’d turn this into a stylish movie cause the lore is mind blowing!
I usually hate the waste of celebrity in games, as it detracts from a great gaming experience. In this case, I started out hating Keanu's involvement in this game, but since 2.0, phantom liberty, and finally diving into this game (now that it's worth playing), it's really growing on me in ways I never expected. This game is finally in a really great place, and super captivating. Coming to this from Starfield, I'm amazed at how much more engaging the content is... I'm not falling asleep listening to the dialog. It's all so immersive. I hope we see a sequel to this, now, amazing game!
"Can I swear?"
Man, we don't deserve Keanu Reeves :D
From one of the first movies I ever watched... Speed 1 to this! Love Keanu!
I love Keanu. He's that chill guy everyone would feel great around. Even while in the flesh and bones of Johnny, you can still see his deeply good nature inside. Maybe it's the writers, or maybe it's just the way Keanu plays the character, but Johnny really feels like a great fit for him. Kudos to CDPR for doing such a amazing job with their actors!
Johnny is a volatile radical dude but they share with Keanu the phylosophical and social smarts and empathy. The reality is Johnny would shoot your legs from under you when Keanu would pick you up.
Also, Johnny Silverhand would have banged that interviewer a few minutes after the end of that interview.
@@ForestRaptor not at that age :D
Keanu is truly breathtaking
You can see how dedicated he is to acting and how much he loved playing Johnny
The passion Keanu Reeves has for Cyberpunk is unmatched 😊
Keanu has to be protected at all costs. This guy is a bright star in our world. We dont deserve such a good human.
I can't help but smile when i see Keanu Reeves
LMAO you can see the excitement all over Keanu when he talks about his role as Johnny. All those acting roles and he is as excited like this is his first gig almost like a little kid. Crazy how he finds ways to keep himself young. Absolutely amazing performance from Keanu I am so glad we are all enjoying the character as much as he did playing him.
What a treasure, you can't help but love this man. Such a Legend.
Everytime I think I can’t love Keanu more, he shows up and reminds me that nah, there is no ceiling to that love
I just finished Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time and I have to say, Keanu as Johnny Silverhand was awesome. He's very charismatic in it and has some of the best and amusing dialogue. He should do more roles like that in movies.
He’s the best character in the game 100%
Keanu is the top Ace as always. Also this interviewer is very fluid, kudos to the interviewer.
“Can I swear?”
Fuck yeah you can, Keanu, fuck yeah you can!
Honestly, of all the celebrities I think about meeting and what work I do, if I met Keanu I’d just say thank you. Simple “Thank you”. That’s all. I don’t know another person that deserves that, an honest, heartfelt and kindhearted Thank you.
He'd probably reply with "No! Thank YOU!".
