“Keanu is focused, and Keanu is intense and just dialed in every single take,” saidLaverne.

“But once his coverage is done, he just chills a bit, and he’s talking more. But he’s chill and really normal — as normal as you can be when you’re an international superstar,” she continued. “But very chill, and unassuming and almost shy, which makes you want him even more.”

“But I was very appropriate on set — I didn’t flirt,” added the Uglies star.

Laverne further revealed why she wasn’t initially sure about doing the movie.

“[I received] an email with a personal note from Jonah about my work and how he really wanted me for this character, Virginia. And it was so sweet. And I said, ‘Oh, this is lovely.’ And then I was like, ‘Well, let’s read the script,’” recalled the actress.

“And the script was so smart, so funny, so insightful. So insightful what Virginia gets to say — it started as a five-page monologue that she has that’s some of the most prescient, smartest stuff I’ve gotten to say as a character on screen. And I was like, ‘Okay, I have to do this,’ ” she continued.

“And then Keanu Reeves, it’s like, honestly, [Jonah] could’ve just led with Keanu Reeves and I would’ve been like, ‘I’m in. I’m in,’" addedLaverne.

For those unversed, Outcome is currently available to watch on Apple TV+.
