Keanu Reeves is one of the most beloved stars of his era, and it’s rare to find anyone with a negative opinion of him. Therefore, when the popular actor revealed a recent unfortunate incident, many fans were concerned.
The 59-year-old actor shared how he suffered a broken kneecap during a film production. Known for his action-packed roles in movies like The Matrix and the John Wick series, Reeves talked about how a seemingly innocuous event led to his injury.
When asked about the incident by Colbert, Reeves responded in a lighthearted yet tough manner, explaining that it was an accident that caused his injury.
Reeves explained that the accident occurred while filming a segment with Aziz Ansari and Seth Rogen for the upcoming comedy Good Fortune. He was enjoying a playful moment with the two actors and began performing a dance move called the “cold shuffle” in a room with carpeting. Unfortunately, his foot got caught, leading to his injury.
Reeves even demonstrated how the accident happened, showcasing the vulnerability of his knee. He humorously described the moment when his kneecap broke, emphasizing the irony of experiencing such an injury while filming a comedy.
During the interview, it was mentioned that Keanu Reeves was seen filming with an ice pack and crutches in January of this year, indicating the ongoing impact of his injury.
In addition to starring in the film, Good Fortune marks Aziz Ansari’s directorial debut. Alongside Sandra Oh and Keke Palmer, Reeves co-wrote and co-produced the movie.
