Halle Berry Confirms What We Suspected All Along About Keanu Reeves' On-Set Behavior
By Emily Bell
As viewers of the "John Wick" films, the "Matrix" franchise, and his various other roles in action movies are already well aware, Keanu Reeves makes performing epic fight scenes and death-defying stunts look easy. The veteran action star is well-known for training harder than most, if not all of his co-stars in many cases, and Halle Berry has vouched for his incredible work ethic on "John Wick 3 in particular."
Back in 2019, Reeves was memorialized for his contributions to cinema at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood, and Berry — joined by a number of their fellow "John Wick" stars — was present for the occasion. Taking to Instagram afterward, Berry gushed over her "work crush," claiming that the occasion was "a well deserved honor for one of the hardest working actors" she's ever met.
In fact, Berry once revealed that she enjoys working with Reeves to the extent that she was willing to break her ribs to impress him on the set of "John Wick 3." In an interview with Extra, she described feeling particularly motivated to go above and beyond as a in order to keep up with his considerable pace. "It was pretty amazing. It was a little terrifying at first because he's so damn good, and I wanted to be on the same level as him," Berry recalled. "I didn't want to disappoint him."
Though she's still unsure of its exact cause, Berry "worked for a little while with broken ribs until [she] could no longer do it." Director Chad Stahelski simply waited for her injuries to heal before he resumed filming. Berry, for her part, described the injury she sustained as a "badge of honor."
