Reeves to world: I don’t do stunts

During one of the many interviews that Keanu Reeves did in advance of the “John Wick” opening, he referred to the parts he has played in action films — specifically ” The Matrix” trilogy . But he was quick to differentiate between doing “stunts” and doing “physical acting.”

You’ve done so much stunt work…
I haven’t done any stunt work… I don’t do any stunts.

You’re flipping over people and firing guns.
But if I’m doing it, it’s not a stunt. Stunt men do stunts.

What do you do?
I get to do some physical acting. I get involved in some action but they’re not stunts . I flip over guys, I get flipped, I run, I jump, I play.

Makes me like the guy. Not every actor is this honest.
