Keanu Reeves gets honest about ageing and stunts for action movies
Keanu Reeves has recently made bold statement about John Wick movies.
The actor, who is all set for the fifth installment of the action flick, spilled to In Touch Weekly that he’s in his sixties and now he would like the script to reflect his age in the upcoming movie.
“Keanu isn't giving up on that world anytime soon, but he needs the writing to reflect his age and his limitations so he has a chance of surpassing them, which he always does,” revealed an insider.
The source said, “What's happening with John Wick right now is the slow walk-up that goes along with any Keanu movie these days.”
Another insider noted that the script is being written and “Keanu is being perfectly honest about what he's willing and not willing to do stunt-wise”.
“There's no faking this. He's being totally honest about what he can and can't do, and he had put his body through hell for these movies,” explained a source.
Over the years, the Speed star reportedly earned an estimated $22 million for his demanding work in the franchise.
However, with the fifth movie in the works, the insider opened up that the “payday is following a similar exponential increase and, as Keanu gets older, he feels he’s earned every penny for what he’s put himself through”.
“It's a work in progress, and it's what you get when you agree to pay Keanu $35 million for a giant action sequel,” mentioned a source.
An insider told the outlet, “He's going to do everything and anything he possibly can to make this work, but he's in his sixties now and everybody has their limits.”
Gushing about Keanu’s foresight for John Wick franchise, the source pointed out that the actor “loves betting on himself”.
“He has made a mountain of money from this character,” added an insider.
