Aziz Ansari spills the beans on Keanu Reeves' injury

Aziz Ansari revealed why Keanu Reeves needed crutches in late January.

Speaking at CinemaCon 2024 in Las Vegas on Wednesday, the 41-year-old actor shared that Keanu fractured his kneecap in his trailer on the set of Good Fortune.

"About, I don't know, 15 days into shooting with me, I was like, 'Hey, just go chill in your dressing room for 15 minutes.' And he tripped on a rug. He's like, 'Aah, my knee,' " Aziz said.

Despite the injury, the 59-year-old actor still insisted on shooting the leftover scenes.

“He still filmed everything except some scenes where he needed him to do salsa dancing, which we needed to pick up. He was like, 'I'll do it!' We're like, 'Keanu, calm down. We'll do the salsa dancing once your knee is healed,'” Aziz continued.

He also said that Keanu has always been fond of performing risky stunts without ever needing "to go to the hospital” or any medical help.

"He's done those Wick movies, all the Matrix stuff. In Speed, he actually did attempt to do the jump from the car to the bus. It wasn't the take they used, but he did do it," the stand-up comedian explained. 

Keanu and Aziz, who also co-wrote and directed the upcoming comedy film, will be starring alongside Seth Rogen and Keke Palmer.
