Fry acknowledges how Reeves doesn’t put himself in unnecessary danger. Instead, he puts his faith in stunt coordinator Darrin Prescott and director Chad Stahelski. As an actor, Reeves is known for exceeding expectations when it comes to working hand-in-hand with his stunt team.
Reeves first rose to fame acting as metalhead Ted “Theodore” Logan in 1989’s “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure,” has starred in numerous iconic movies during his profession, after all. “Point Break” and “Speed” were 1990s hits, but the 1999 sci-fi classic “The Matrix” changed everything.
Who is Keanu Really?
Is Reeves the friendly, laid-back dude of popular legend? Well, one guy who knows the star better than most is Jeremy Fry. And when speaking to the press, his stuntman has given the world a little taste of the actor's true nature.
In June 2020, Jeremy Fry, the stuntman, disclosed details about working on the John Wick movies with the A-lister. Of course, it was the stuntman’s remarks about Reeves’ character that caught people’s notice.
But How Was It Working with Reeves?
According to Fry's assessment of the star, he revealed that Reeves is every bit as amazing as we could hope. "He is a giver, he is selfless, and he's a hard worker" confirmed Fry.
Jeremy Fry also made a point of first appreciating Reeves’ dedication to stunt work. Fry also said Reeves didn’t always insist on doing everything himself. Instead, Fry knows what he is capable of accomplishing and knows when to leave it to the professionals.
Then Came John Wick
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Reeves is worth a staggering $360 million. And a decent-sized lump of that wealth comes from the "John Wick" franchise – which was a revival of sorts for the actor. Before his first outing as the assassin in 2014, you see, Reeves had encountered a series of commercial flops, such as 2008’s "The Day the Earth Stood Still."
But "John Wick" grossed its budget four times over at the box-office and was instantly lauded as an action classic. Then came the two sequels, "John Wick: Chapter 2" in 2017 and "John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum" in 2019. Each sequel upped the stakes for action on-screen; and the box-office figures also grew accordingly.
Private Mr. Reeves
Yet Keanu Reeves is one of those select Hollywood stars whose personal life has mostly remained something of a mystery. It’s no surprise, then, that the internet went beserk when he took a date to a Los Angeles gala. And when details of the mystery woman finally emerged, Reeves’ fans noticed something rather exceptional about her.
