'John Wick’s' Keanu Reeves Shares His Thoughts About Tom Cruise’s Dedication As An Action Star
Transcript
00:00 And I mean, one thing that strikes me about your career
00:02 at this point is that you actually,
00:04 I think there's a comparison to make
00:05 between you and Tom Cruise,
00:06 because both of you have just an extreme love of cinema.
00:10 You guys love movies so much.
00:11 And again, you both personally put yourself on the line.
00:14 You throw yourself into this action so much.
00:17 I'd love kind of your perspective
00:19 on what he does in the Mission Impossible movies.
00:21 And also, I mean, just your thoughts
00:23 about how Ethan Hunt would step up against John Wick.
00:27 - Why don't we just go out and have a drink at a bar?
00:30 - Sure.
00:30 (laughing)
00:31 - At least when we're kind of on the same side.
00:32 - Yeah.
00:34 No, what Tom Cruise does is extraordinary and special.
00:38 And something that, again,
00:41 another legend in another universe,
00:43 you know, he's doing something.
00:45 I'm more like on the ground playing in the mud.
00:48 And he's like flying and jumping
00:52 and outside of buildings and helicopters, fighter jets.
00:57 So what he's doing in terms of the events
01:00 that he's participating in,
01:03 I think is extraordinary.
01:06 And his passion for it, his skill, his talent just shines.
01:11 And I think we're just the beneficiaries
01:15 of his excellence, you know?
01:17 And he's inspiring.
01:19 And I think one thing I could say is that I share,
01:25 you know, as you spoke about, the passion for movies.
01:28 We're lucky to be there and we're just trying to have fun
01:33 and help people like what we do.
