Annie S. Alejo has posted an exclusive interview with Keanu Reeves for the Manila Bulletin. FIrst off, Man of Tai Chi will open on July 14 in the Philippines on July 14. We have heard much of the ground covered before. Towards the end, Keanu the director was asked about Keanu the actor and vice versa.
When asked what Reeves the director can say about Reeves the actor, he jokes, “Keanu is a true professional. Shows up on times, knows his lines. It took him a little while to figure out how he moved and stuff, it took a little more attention on the first day, but after that he did okay.”
When the tables are turned, Reeves the actor says of his director with equal amusement, “It’s his first time directing, but when I met him, it felt like I’d known him a long time, and had a really good relationship with him. I had the confidence he knew what he was doing.”
