No Big Talker, Keanu’s Still Good With His Mouth

Ryder “reportedly left the set in tears,” alleges YM magazine. Sniffing a story, the teen zine tracked down the tale of Keanu the kisser.
The word from Reeves’ “Speed” co-star, Sandra Bullock: “Keanu’s so sure of himself, but I was back there spraying Binaca and hoping that I wouldn’t offend him.”
“He was pretty scruffy,” said Reeves’ “River’s Edge” co-star Ione Skye, “but he had a sexy smell.” “Kissing scenes are pretty complicated,” said Aitana Sanchez-Gijon (“A Walk in the Clouds”), “but we tried to enjoy them.”
Lori Petty, who starred with Reeves in “Point Break,” was adamant/ “He’s a very good kisser,” she said. “He’s definitely blessed.”
