“I’ll Marry You!” Lovestruck Fan Pops the Question to Keanu Reeves and His Response Is Perfect

No wonder Keanu Reeves is called the internet’s boyfriend. At a recent film festival, the action star was proposed to by a devoted fan, and responded swiftly with a charmingly self-deprecating remark. It seems that the much-beloved actor may not view himself as ideal marriage material, despite his popularity.

A surprise reaction from an excited fan.

After the screening of his upcoming action-thriller sequel John Wick: Chapter 4, at the SXSW Film Festival, Reeves was participating in a Q&A session. One of the audience’s questions led him to discuss his character’s watch and wedding ring, which he kept as keepsakes. This prompted an enthusiastic reaction from an ardent admirer in attendance.

The fan appeared to propose marriage to the 58-year-old actor exclaiming, “I’ll marry you!” to which the action star responded with his usual characteristic humor, saying, “Yeah, be careful what you wish for.” Although it would have been the actor’s first marriage had he accepted the proposal, Reeves has never been married before.

Keanu Reeves is already committed.

Keanu Reeves has dated a few celebrities like Sofia Coppola and Claire Forlani, and he’s currently in a relationship with artist Alexandra Grant. Although the nature of their relationship remains unconfirmed, the couple has known each other for several years, having first collaborated on Reeves’ book Ode to Happiness in 2011.

In November 2019, Reeves and Grant made their first public appearance as a couple on the red carpet. A source revealed at the time that the couple had started dating earlier that year but had chosen to keep it low-key. The insider further added that Keanu was thrilled to have Alexandra in his life and wanted to share it with the world.

Reeves is a supportive guest at random weddings.

Despite not being married himself, Keanu Reeves is known to be a supportive guest at weddings, as demonstrated by his surprise appearance at a couple’s wedding in the UK last August. The groom discovered Reeves in the bar area of the wedding venue, where the reception was being held, and invited the actor to join in.

Not only did Reeves attend, but he also took photos with the newlyweds and their family and even posed for a photo with everyone shouting, “Speed!” at the request of the bride’s mother. “We laughed about that as it’s one of his older films! We are big fans,” shared the thrilled bride expressing her admiration for Reeves.

The future of the John wick franchise.

In addition to the surprise proposal, during the event, Reeves received an enthusiastic response from the audience after the screening of John Wick: Chapter 4. The actor’s fans gave him a warm welcome and showed their appreciation for his work. In response, speaking alongside director Chad Stahelski, Reeves expressed his gratitude to the audience, calling them “awesome” and thanking them for the experience.

However, the future of the blockbuster franchise appears uncertain as Stahelski revealed that he and Reeves want to take a break from the franchise after releasing 4 films in 9 years. Stahelski added that together they will contemplate the future of the franchise after their press tour ends in Japan, where they plan to sit down and brainstorm ideas. “We’ll write some ideas on napkins. If those ideas stick, maybe we’ll make a movie,” the director added.
