Keanu Reeves didn’t expect his wild on-stage reception at E3

3.9
E3 2019 gave us huge reveals: A sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is in development. Watchdogs 3: Legion lets you build an army of grandma assassins. We got a gameplay trailer for the Battletoads revival… but none of these are commanding the spotlight as much as chatter about Keanu Reeve’s brief on-stage appearance during the Xbox press conference.

If you somehow missed it (doubtful), Keanu Reeves – who plays a major role in the game – took the E3 stage after a cinematic trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 revealed that the John Wick actor will star in the upcoming game.

Fans cheered. Catcalled, even. When Keanu used the word “breathtaking” to describe his new game, one bloke in the audience shouted, “You’re breathtaking!”



“No, you’re breathtaking!” Reeves replied. (Developer CD Projekt Red is sending the dude who shouted a free Collector’s Edition of the upcoming game.)

According to Xbox head Phil Spencer in an interview with Variety, Reeves had no idea what to expect from E3.

“I was talking to him before he went out and I was trying to explain that this isn’t going to be like another corporate gig,” Spencer told Variety. “I said, ‘You’re going to go out there and the fans are going to go crazy.’ And he’s like, ‘Oh, that’s cool.”


After his cameo, Spencer says Reeves came back and was just like, ‘wow.’

Later, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the interviewer told Reeves he’d become “the internet’s boyfriend.” Reeves still seemed clueless.

“That’s… that’s wacky,” he said.

I said this in the previous but, The Man, The Myth, The Legend himself...Keanu Reeves. It was funny af when someone in the crowd said you're breathtaking, and then Keanu "No, you're breathtaking!" Just seeing him happy, like you can't hate the dude he's such a down to earth kind of guy.

Only issue with the article is that they are not sending the guy a Collectors Edition of the game. He turned it down and instead asked the company to give a donation to a hospital for Charity.

Otherwise, this is great. I love how Keanu always acts surprised by people, so humbly, because he's just an over all great guy :) He's been through alot and has a good head on his shoulders for what others might have done in his place.
