Before becoming John Wick, Keanu Reeves made a bizarre report on teddy bears 39 years ago

Keanu Reeves is known for roles such as Neo in The Matrix and the professional assassin in the John Wick series. Earlier, in the '80s, the actor worked for the Canadian public broadcaster CBC. A clip has emerged online showing Keanu reporting from a teddy bear convention. As the actor mentioned at the beginning of the footage – it was filled with madness.

The journalist was tasked with preparing a report on the event. The short clip reveals that, from a young age, the Canadian exhibited acting and improvisational talent. It's evident that he enjoyed working on this piece and approached it with a considerable sense of humor. At the 45-second mark of the shared footage, Keanu Reeves playfully simulates a plush bear attacking him. He also had fun with wordplay, inserting "bear" into certain words. He was very natural throughout.

Unfortunately, the footage didn't address an important question: why are all teddy bears named Teddy? However, it's clear that even back then, Keanu Reeves exuded a positive aura for which he is now very well-known. It's this aura that has garnered him a vast fan base, rooting for him and his career.

Nearly 40 years have passed since the convention. During this time, Keanu Reeves has become one of the most popular actors. Recently, audiences admired his performance in John Wick 4. The actor is also set to appear in the spin-off series Ballerina, and Constantine 2, which fans are eagerly awaiting. Perhaps one day, Keanu Reeves will share more about his career as a journalist and what it taught him.

He soon appeared on Gamepressure and Filmomaniak, writing about news related to the film industry. Despite being a huge fan of various TV series, his heart belongs to games of all kinds. He isn't afraid of any genre, and the adventure with Tibia taught him that sky and music in games are completely unnecessary.
