…Whoever broke their knee in front of a very small bag

But even though Keanu Reeves was known for his action-packed roles, his career was not limited to these types of films. Recently, for example, he used his voice to dub characters in animated films Toy Story 4 or in DC Super Pets Leagueand we are still waiting to see him as Shadow the Hedgehog in the next Sonic movie. But currently Keanu Reeves is primarily working on a comedy called Good Fortune, in which he plays a real-life guardian angel. And while you might expect these kinds of films to be a little ballad for an actor like Keanu Reeves, He recently injured his knee on the set of this comedy. Interviewed in the show The Late Show with Stephen Colberthe says :

I was shooting a scene with Aziz Ansari and Seth Rogen and we were in an ice bath. I loved it, I stood there and we finished the scene and you know when you’re cold and you’re anxious? I was in a room where there were protective mats, there was a kind of little bag and my foot got caught in the bag. I went down but my knee didn’t follow. Then I fell in slow motion. My knee buckled because it was having trouble and I hit it. And my kneecap cracked like a potato chip.

Therefore, even the most experienced action actor can suffer an injury from a ridiculous wrong move. Fortunately, Keanu Reeves is well supported and his knee had to be treated relatively quickly. We therefore assume that this will not prevent him from continuing his career.
