Keanu Reeves Was Insulted For His Romantic Reunion

Despite their onscreen chemistry and appreciation for each other, as the duo failed to turn their crush into a genuine relationship, many slammed the pair for their unrequited love. However, certainly no one did it better than the American comedian and actor, Zach Galifianakis, during an interview.

When Keanu Reeves appeared in Zach Galifianakis’ Netflix Is A Joke interview in 2020, the comedian brutally slammed The Matrix star for his romantic reunion in The Lake House. Galifianakis began by asking the actor about his big scar from a motorbike accident and subtly turned the conversation towards The Lake House reunion.

“You’ve a scar right here from a motorcycle accident. Where is it?”

Reeves pointed at his scar under his outfit and mentioned how big it was. That’s when Zach Galifianakis mentioned having a similar scar on his leg. And certainly, when the actor asked him how he got that, out of curiosity, Reeves faced the worst insult of his life.
