Laverne Cox shares working experience with Keanu Reeves in 'Outcome'
'Outcome' is currently available to watch on Apple TV+
Laverne Cox has finally shared her working experience with Keanu Reeves in the new movie, Outcome.
Speaking with People magazine at the New York City premiere of the dark comedy, the 53-year-old actress revealed that Keanu was “focused’ on set.
“Keanu is focused, and Keanu is intense and just dialed in every single take,” said Laverne.
“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,’" added Laverne.
For those unversed, Outcome is currently available to watch on Apple TV+.
