Actor Keanu Reeves reveals which of the coolest props from The Matrix, John Wick, and even 47 Ronin he held onto in a social AMA session.
Keanu Reeves revealed which props he was allowed to take from the sets of The Matrix, John Wick, and 47 Ronin. The actor became a household name after The Matrix, where he worked with the Wachowski sisters to develop a hit franchise that changed the science fiction genre. Since then, he's only furthered his reputation as an action hero with the John Wick series.
Like many actors who have enjoyed success as movie stars, The Matrix's Reeves kept a few props from his films over the years. While other actors resort to stealing those props, Reeves admits he never really had to. In a recent Ask Me Anything thread on Reddit, Reeves listed every item he's been able to hold onto over the years, which he insists weren't taken illegally.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY "Not stolen... The watch and wedding ring from John Wick, a sword from 47 Ronin, and the first red pill that the Wachowski’s ever gave me."Why Those Items Are Important To Keanu Reeves It makes considerable sense why Reeves wanted to hang onto those mementos in particular. Considering that The Matrix propelled him into stardom, the red pill became an iconic piece synonymous with Reeves' Neo.
Outside of the red pill that opened Neo's eyes to the real world in The Matrix, the other items also represent key moments in Reeves' life. John Wick gave Reeves the opportunity to star in and help create a franchise of his own while building on the lore of his universe.
As for the sword from 47 Ronin, while it may not have been a well-received film and isn't generally considered one of Reeves' best movies, it's still a sword, and it's not surprising a star would want to hold onto a realistic sword prop. Reeves likely kept these items out of personal connection or a sheer sense of excitement for them, and that's not too strange in Hollywood.
