Keanu Reeves admitted that filming 'John Wick: Chapter 4' "was the hardest physical role" of his career

For Keanu Reeves, filming John Wick: Chapter 4 was undoubtedly difficult. The action-thriller franchise's fourth installment's lead actor, a Canadian, claimed that filming for the movie physically taxed him more than any of his prior roles. Additionally, Reeves, 58, said in an interview with Total Film that was released on Monday, "John Wick: Chapter 4 was the hardest physical role I've ever had in my career so far. They really trained me up to be able to have what we call the toolbox." The Matrix actor revealed that he also improved his stunt driving abilities for several action-packed scenes shot in Paris, "We took the car-driving to the next level, which I really enjoy." Reeves also added, "There's 180s, forward-into-reverse 180s, reverse-into-forward 270s, drifting. … So it was really fun to get a chance to learn those skills, and to play." Furthermore, Keanu Reeves presented his stunt squad with some really kind gifts after the fourth movie's filming had finished. At a dinner in Paris in October 2021, the celebrity gave the four-person crew—Bruce Concepcion, Jeremy Marinas, Dave Camarillo, and Li Qiang—individually customized Rolex Submariner watches.
