Keanu Reeves has starred in many iconic films, but interestingly, the star himself admitted that he rarely watches his work again.
During his participation in The New Yorker Festival, according to People, Reeves explained who does not deliberately revisit his films and only encounters them when, for example, they appear on television.
“Maybe while I’m moving I’ll think: ‘Ah, they call that Bodhi’. Or: ‘Wow, Matrix, okay… Matrix Reloaded’. Anyway, that’s not it, yes, no… I didn’t,” he commented, laughing.
He highlighted that, in addition to these three exceptions, he prefers to focus on creating stories for his audience rather than seeing them himself.
Therefore, the only films Keanu Reeves occasionally watches are They call him Bodhi (1991), where he plays an undercover FBI agent, and the first two installments of The Matrix. Interestingly, Reeves did not include any films in the saga John Wickhis most recent success.
However, They call him BodhiOne of his first highly successful films, it is one of the few he still watches when it appears on television, perhaps out of nostalgia. In this film, he consolidated his reputation as a performer capable of combining charisma, dramatic intensity and physical action with great naturalness.
His role as an FBI agent infiltrated by a gang that robbed banks catapulted him as a protagonist thanks to memorable sequences, such as great chases on foot, surfing giant waves or the famous jump without a parachute.
However, Reeves recalled in Men’s Journal how the film impacted an entire generation: “I always meet people who tell me, ‘I started jumping out of planes because they called it Bodhi,’ ‘I started surfing because they called it Bodhi.’ It really changed people’s lives, as well as mine.”
