Keanu Reeves said that when filming a John Wick movie, he accidently “cut a gentleman’s head open.”
The 58-year-old actor plays the titular character in the blockbuster film, and the Chapter 4 sequel hits theatres today.
In the run-up to the film’s premiere, the action icon has been everywhere, including an unpleasant interview with Roman Kemp.
However, it turns out that wasn’t the most agonising aspect of his experience thus far, as the actor revealed some extremely awful set experiences in a recent talk.
When asked about stunts not going to plan, he confessed: ‘Well I mean everyone is pretty tired – but it’s the best kind of tired. It’s like you climbed a mountain now you’re resting; like you finished the game and you won.
‘So in terms of accidents: I made a mistake once – I cut a gentleman’s head open. So that really f**king sucked (excuse my language).
‘But other than that – oh, one guy got hit by a car. He was in the car, so he had to go to the hospital, but he was okay.’
Despite some regrettable occurrences, the Hollywood legend stressed that every precaution is taken to keep everyone safe.
‘All of this to say: that you do have to take care,’ he added to ComicBook.com. ‘But it’s great that everyone [on set] is watching out for each other.
‘So there’s some bruising and aches and pains, but [imitates official PSA announcement] “No humans were harmed in the filming of this motion picture!”’
It certainly does not sound like it…
Laurence Fishburne, Rina Sawayama, and the late Lance Reddick – who died last week – also appear in the fourth John Wick installment.
In a recent interview, Keanu pondered on the blockbuster flicks and what keeps him returning to the character.
‘I try really hard, but with John, you have to try just a little bit harder,’ he told us.
‘I like his humor, I like his will, I like his grief and it’s really fun to play him in these films, these films are fun.’
John Wick 4 is out in cinemas now.
