Why Keanu Reeves was called the ‘worst’ talk show guest

A Veteran TV Personality Became Hollywood’s Favorite Keanu Reeves as the worst talk show guest they’ve ever encountered.

The remark was made by Rosie O’Donnell during her appearance on “Sam Pang Tonight,” although she spoke fondly of the actor in other ways as well.

The comments come just days after Keanu Reeves and his longtime partner, artist Alexandra Grantwalked the red carpet for the premiere of his latest film.

Reeves’ on-screen charm doesn’t always translate to talk show appearances, according to veteran TV personality Rosie O’Donnell.

Speaking on a recent episode of “Sam Pang Tonight,” she called the actor the “worst” guest she ever interviewed while hosting her eponymous show from 1996 to 2002.

“I love this guy, but he’s not good on talk shows. Keanu Reeves”, O’Donnell about the famous actor.

O’Donnell then reflected on his interview with Reeves, recalling how he gave short answers that didn’t make for good television.

“He’s so nice. He’s beautiful. I love all his films, but he wouldn’t answer a question,” the 63-year-old recalls. “I would say, ‘So, Keanu, how are you? How are you feeling?’ [He’d say] ‘GOOD.'”

She added: “And finally, after about eight minutes, we were live. We couldn’t, we couldn’t re-record. I finally said, after about three minutes, ‘Keanu, this is a talk show. You have to talk.’ But he came back and he understood. »

A few days ago, Reeves hit the red carpet with his girlfriend, Alexandra Grant, for the screening of Good Fortune, his latest film in a long line of successful projects that continue to showcase his versatility and enduring appeal in Hollywood.

Reeves looked dapper in a brown pinstriped suit paired with a black tie and beige shoes. Grant completed her look beautifully in a chic navy dress featuring a beaded neckline.

Grant also added a matching clutch and a stack of bracelets on one wrist to her ensemble.

On the red carpet, the duo also gave fans a glimpse of their love by packing on their PDA with a sweet kiss on the lips before heading to the screening.

The duo previously walked the red carpet for the opening night of Reeves’ Broadway debut in the production of “Waiting for Godot.”

At the time, they also showed affection by holding hands as they posed for photos on the red carpet.

Despite these loving moments, Reeves and Grant have largely kept their relationship out of the public eye.

They have been linked since 2011, but only went public with their romance in 2019 when they appeared holding hands on the red carpet at the LACMA Art + Film Gala.

Of their relationship, a source said last year that it was “the most fun and positive relationship” Reeves had ever been a part of.

“She’s adorable, sweet, caring and funny. She has her own life and career, but she’s also very supportive of Keanu’s,” the source said. People Magazine at the time. “When he films on location, she travels with him. When he films locally, she often visits the set.”
