Keanu Reeves says his action stunts in the fourth installment of the John Wick franchise are next level.
The Canadian actor, whos earned his reputation as a Hollywood badass thanks to decades worth of martial arts training, admitted the highly anticipated Chapter 4 physically challenged him like no other project has before.
John Wick: Chapter 4 was the hardest physical role Ive ever had in my career so far, the 58-year-old told Total Film. They really trained me up to be able to have what we call the toolbox.
Revealing that he revved up his car handling skills for the new films blood-pumping driving sequences set in Paris, the star shared, We took the car-driving to the next level, which I really enjoy.
Theres 180s, forward-into-reverse 180s, reverse-into-forward 270s, drifting so it was really fun to get a chance to learn those skills, and to play, Reeves added.
