Keanu Reeves is a much-loved celebrity, and everyone who’s met him has great things to say about him. So when he recently shared some bad news about himself, many people were worried.
Here’s what happened:
Keanu has been busy working on his new project, *Good Fortune*. He appeared on *The Late Show with Stephen Colbert* this week and shared a story that got people concerned.
The 59-year-old actor revealed that he broke his kneecap while filming. Known for his action roles in movies like *The Matrix* and the *John Wick* series, he explained that the injury came from something surprisingly minor.
Colbert asked, “What happened? Who got to you?”
The actor replied playfully in a tough guy voice, “No one got to me,” adding, “Accident got to me.”
“Were you jumping from building to building? Were you doing a cartwheel past razor blades? What were you doing?” Stephen further probed.
“No, Stephen, I was walking into the dressing room, a room. I will tell it quick,” Keanu explained.
Keanu explained that his injury happened while filming a comedy called *Good Fortune* with Aziz Ansari and Seth Rogen. The three were in a cold plunge, and Keanu was having a good time. Afterward, he was doing a “cold shuffle” in a room with soft carpets when his foot got stuck in a pocket.
To show what happened, Keanu walked in front of Stephen Colbert’s desk and demonstrated how his knee gave way. He described it as if his knee “spiked” into the ground.
He said his kneecap cracked like a potato chip, although he didn’t realize it at first. It wasn’t until his knee started swelling up that he knew something was seriously wrong.
“Comedy is hard, man,” Keanu added as a joke.
“This was not an action film with Aziz and Rogen,” Stephen clarified once again.
“No, it was comedy,” Keanu confirmed.
“Welcome to my life,” Stephen joked.
In January, Keanu was seen filming with crutches and an ice pack on his knee.
*Good Fortune* not only stars Aziz Ansari but is also his first time directing. He wrote and co-produced the movie, which also features Sandra Oh and Keke Palmer.
It’s great to hear that Keanu Reeves has recovered well. Feel free to share this update with anyone who wants to know how he’s doing!
Cocky Neighbor Fills My Pond, My Smart Comeback Shows Him Not to Underestimate an Older Woman
When Brian, my overconfident neighbor, filled in my cherished pond while I was away, he unwittingly triggered a clever response from me that proved age and solitude don’t mean you should be underestimated.
I’m Margaret, a 74-year-old who has spent over two decades in my beloved home, where I raised my children and now enjoy visits from my seven grandchildren. The pond, created by my late grandfather, has always been the heart of our family gatherings.
Brian moved in next door five years ago and immediately took issue with the pond. His complaints ranged from the frogs disturbing his sleep to the mosquitoes breeding in the water. Despite my attempts to brush off his grievances, his irritation only grew.
One day, while I was away visiting my sister, Brian decided to take matters into his own hands. When I returned, I was horrified to find that my pond had been filled in and replaced with dirt. I was heartbroken, realizing that years of memories and family joy had been wiped out in an instant.
My neighbor Mrs. Johnson tried to intervene when a team arrived to carry out the work, but they presented documents that seemingly authorized the destruction. Feeling betrayed, I knew who was behind this mess and decided to take action.
I gathered evidence of the pond’s destruction, including footage from a wildlife camera that clearly showed Brian directing the team. With this proof, I contacted the local wildlife conservation office, reporting that the pond was home to a protected species and had been destroyed unlawfully.
The conservation office took immediate action, and soon, Brian was facing a substantial fine for violating environmental laws. My grandson Ethan, a sharp lawyer, helped me file a lawsuit for property damage and emotional distress.
In the midst of this, I had a heart-to-heart with Brian’s wife, Karen, who was unaware of the full story. Once she understood, she felt remorseful and worked to rectify the situation. She supervised the restoration of the pond, and I decided to drop the lawsuit, thanks to Ethan’s diplomatic efforts.
Brian disappeared, humbled by the experience, while Karen and I grew closer. With the pond restored, my family and I could once again enjoy the joy it brought, and I had a new ally in the neighborhood.
Reflecting on it all, I realized that sometimes, unexpected events can lead to new friendships and fresh perspectives. And if there’s a lesson here, it’s that underestimating a determined grandmother can lead to surprising outcomes.
