Recorded Keanu Reeves for the podcast today who is a TERRIFIC dude (John Wick 2 ruled). Now lemme give you a little insight into my brain via this picture. Ok, we had a perfectly nice conversation. Everything was fine. Near the end of it, I could feel the fandom slowly start globbing and bubbling up through my body like a lava lamp. Usually, I’m pretty good at mashing it down. Sometimes though, you get into such a groove with someone and you forget who you’re talking to and then BAM a synapse fires and you go, “Oh fuck that’s Keanu Reeves! Like RIGHT THERE!!!” Then you realize the familiarity you feel isn’t because you actually know them, but that you’ve been watching them for years and years and in this particular instance whatever movie you’re watching starring this person is talking back at you. “Be cool” you think to yourself, “he’s just a dude!” But fandom is not burdened by logic. So you get this GREAT idea that you should take a picture with Keanu like you’re on the cover of an 80s cop show VHS box and it’s called “Hotel Vice”. The pitch goes ok but not amazing. Still, you’re in it, and it’s happening. “So what should I do then?” “Oh uh…just stand there and I’ll dive in front of you while shooting at something.” “Ok like you’re saving my life?” “YEAH!! LIKE THAT!!” Good we’re on the same page. Now the flaw in the execution happens when you ask your kind producer @kt_money to burst shoot so you get a frame you can use and you then remember that MOTION causes BLUR (this was the BEST one). So you find yourself in the unique situation where film star Keanu Reeves is standing patiently while you repeatedly throw yourself onto the floor like a goddamn spastic chimp trying to get your VHS cover, which he will, of course, SEE and say to you, “Hey let’s make that. And HEY let’s be friends!” OBVIOUSLY. Anyway the net result was that–kind though he was–he probably left saying to his equally patient publicist, “Who the fuck was that ropey Caucasian and what did I just do??” My sincerest apologies to Keanu and my heartfelt message to you: we all do embarrassing fan shit like this no matter how much you may succeed on paper…so forgive yourself for being human.
