Filming romantic sequences with Keanu Reeves was slightly embarrassing for Diane Keaton
It’s safe to say thatKeanu Reevesis one of the best guys to work in the industry, following his sheer dedication to the craft and his selfless demeanor toward helping his crewmates. And unsurprisingly, this was the case forSomething’s Gotta Give. Reflecting on the crafting of this movie, Diane Keaton showcased her admiration for Reeves’ work ethic, but not every sequence of the film was pleasant for the actors, especially the romantic scenes.
Even though the chemistry between the actors onscreen is convincing enough for the audience, according to Keaton, working on the romantic sequences and kissing Reeves was embarrassing for the actors. Keaton said,
“Jack and I were humiliated most of the time. There was so much kissing and all this time in bed. We felt so much terror about being so exposed, and we got to be so close because of that… Kissing Keanu in the movie was really fun but horribly embarrassing. As soon as they said ‘cut,’ we’d both run to opposite sides of the room,”
But despite the embarrassing circumstances for the actors, Keaton expressed that she didn’t mind kissing theJohn Wickstar, as she found him pretty attractive.

Kissing Keanu Reeves wasn’t all bad for Diane Keaton
Although filming the kissing sequence might be a bit uncomfortable for both actors, it wasn’t all bad for the actress, considering how polite and shy Keanu Reeves generally is. While recalling the moment, Diane Keaton revealed that she found Reeves extremely beautiful, and even though the kissing scene was an embarrassing situation, she enjoyed it to some extent. She said,
“It has to do with time of life. It’s instinctive – [while kissing him] you go, ‘Uh, probably not!’ And Keanu was going, ‘Definitely not!’ He was trying to be polite. But he’s so beautiful, it’s stupefying. It was a guilty pleasure. A very guilty pleasure.”
