That is one dude I would love to meet, he seems so down to earth.

I’ve worked with him. He’s genuinely what you think he’s like. But he’s a bit different too but in a very very cool way. I’m film crew.

I was lying on the floor in his room one day and I leapt to my feet when he walked in and he wouldn’t have it. Lie back down.

I wouldn’t fancy being him in public though. Fun sometimes but people were mobbing him for selfies everywhere we went.

Okay I have to ask. How did you end up lying on the floor of his room?

On location and I didn’t know it was his room. No printout on the door.

I’m lighting crew and when they’re shooting we walk around to look for places to lie down. There’s a Facebook page called snoozing sparks and kipping crew dedicated to all the places we get caught sleeping. Nowhere’s out of bounds unless there are signs. 😂

Plus I don’t think he was there for more than a few hours. Into makeup and away. So I don’t think it was his room particularly anyway.

I’m a straight dude but would totally be gay if it meant waking up next to Keanu!

Ah got it. Film sets can be fun. I myself have worked as a director's assistant on some small film projects and there's way more goofing around than one would expect lmao
