During a recent interview with Adi Shankar, Kenny Omega commented on once meeting Keanu Reeves and jokingly offering the actor a spot in the Bullet Club.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On meeting Keanu Reeves: “He finally actually came right up to the table and he goes, ‘Hey, I just saw you guys here, you’re all wearing matching tracksuits. Are you guys part of a sports team or something?’ I was like, ‘No, we just did a tour for a wrestling organization here.’ We did our job, time to go home kind of thing. He goes, ‘That’s really cool. How popular would you say wrestling is over?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, it’s kind of part of the culture, it’s pretty big.’ He’s like, ‘Man, that’s fucking cool, you mind if I sit with you guys and kind of chat about it?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, of course.’”
On telling Keanu Reeves about watching Man of Tai Chi: “I’m just like, ‘Man, you know what, I got to get off my chest. This is really wild because the last thing I did like the last night before taking my bag and going to the airport today, I watched Man of Tai Chi. Fuck man, it was such a good movie, like I really loved it. He was almost like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ I was like, ‘I loved it.’ He goes, ‘Wow. That’s the first time I’ve heard that. That means so much to me.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, no, I really mean it. That was so fun, your character was great. I don’t know what to tell you.’ He’s like, ‘Thank you so much, let’s take a picture.’ I’m like, ‘Fuck yeah, bring it on it.’ I mean, we joked about it. I got him to put up the too sweet for a shot and I was like, ‘Hey, could we like pretend you’re going to join?’ He’s like, ‘Yeah, do whatever you guys want, have fun with it.’ I was like, ‘Nah, come on, what if people actually believe it.’ Who knows, maybe he’s such a nice guy he might have actually done it.”
