Keanu Reeves is making a strong comeback after a frightening knee injury earlier this year. The 59-year-old actor recently shared details about the incident during an interview at San Diego Comic-Con, where he was promoting his comic book series BRZRKR. He revealed that the injury had a significant impact on his filming schedule.
In January, while working on a scene for the film Good Fortune with Seth Rogen and Keke Palmer, Keanu suffered a severe knee injury. He described the moment on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where he joked about the accident. Keanu explained that the mishap occurred while he was filming a scene involving a cold plunge. He was enjoying the cold water, wrapped in a towel, and doing a “cold shuffle” when his foot got caught in a small pocket on the floor. This caused him to fall awkwardly, and his knee did not follow the movement properly. “My patella — kneecap — cracked like a potato chip,” he quipped, adding a touch of dramatic flair to his recounting.

Despite the humorous description, the injury was serious enough to put him on crutches and delay filming. He had to postpone a dance sequence planned for the movie and reschedule it for a few months later. Keanu’s playful recount of the injury left Stephen Colbert and the audience both amused and horrified. Keanu vividly described the pain and the swelling that followed, making light of the situation with his signature charm.

The accident didn’t deter Keanu for long. After some healing time, he returned to the set of Good Fortune, ready to continue his work. His resilience and sense of humor through the ordeal were highlighted in his interviews, showing his dedication to his craft and his ability to handle unexpected challenges with grace.

In a recent appearance at San Diego Comic-Con, Keanu spoke about his recovery and ongoing projects. His fans have been supportive, and he continues to be a beloved figure in Hollywood. Keanu’s injury, though painful, has not kept him down for long. His recovery is a testament to his strength and determination, both physically and professionally.
