-We ran into each other a few months ago
-Oh, yeah. -...at a restaurant in L.A.
-Do you remember that? -Of course I remember that.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah, yeah. I didn't know.
-Yeah. -I saw you.
-I saw you eating. You were with your girlfriend
and I thought it'd be funny.
I sent you over... -An olive.
-...one olive. -One olive.
-I go, split it, eat it yourself, whatever you want.
I don't want to tell you how to eat your olive, yeah.
-Yeah, and then what did we do? We sent you something.
-No, I'll tell you exactly what you did.
You had the whole restaurant
come over and sing me happy birthday.
[ Laughter and applause ] -Oh, yes.
-And it's not my birthday.
-Yes. -It was not my birthday at all.
[ Cheering and applause ] I blew out the candle.
I blew out the candle.
It was not my birthday at all. -It was not your birthday.
-It was not my birthday, but that really made me laugh.
[ Cheering ] That was good. But then
here's the best move.
You were leaving. -Yes.
-There was a great guy who plays music, guitar,
at the -- at the Polo.
-At the restaurant. -At the restaurant.
[ Laughter ] -We won't say where it is.
We don't want to give it away. At the restaurant.
And so he starts singing "Hey Jude,"
and so I jumped up to sing with him.
-You did. -And I thought you were gone.
-Well, no, we were still eating
and you were still singing "Hey Jude."
[ Laughter ] And then they do that whole
end part, you know, where it's just ♪ Ya ♪
-♪ Na, na, na, na, na ♪ [ Laughter ]
-And you just kept going. It was amazing.
[ Laughter ]
I mean, really.
It was high, low. -I was harmonizing with myself.
-You were harmonizing.
-But then you -- Were you just leaving?
-Yeah, we were just leaving and then, you know --
-I grabbed you. -Your energy, the whole
audience, the audience -- the restaurant was into it
and so, it was just like, let's all sing, and we all started --
-So we sang "Hey Jude" together.
Yeah, it was fantastic.
You have a great reputation by the way, in Hollywood
of being a very nice guy, and I will say,
you always have been nice. [ Cheering and applause ]
Always have been a cool guy with me.
-Fix my shirt. Fix my tie.
-Yeah. You've always been great to me.
But I saw this photo that just --
everyone was talking about it on the Internet.
You crashed someone's wedding in London.
-I didn't crash their wedding. [ Laughter ]
-Well, it looks like you weren't invited.
I don't know. -I sort of look like that.
-I don't know if you crashed it, but you definitely weren't--
-I was invited to meet some folks and take a photo.
-Oh, sorry. So you heard that people
were getting married or something?
-No. It was outside
and there was another part of the hotel
and it was outside of London and they were having a wedding
and then the groom came by and he was like, "Hi,"
and I was like, "Hi!"
And then he was like, "Do you want to take a picture
with everybody?" And I said, "Yeah, sure, let's do it,"
and meet some folks and then we went in there and I said hi
and hi and hi and then we took some photographs and that's one
of the photographs. -It made their night.
-One of these things does not belong and it was me.
[ Laughter ]
-I would've sang "Hey Jude" with them, if they asked me, yeah.
[ Laughter ] -It was really lovely. It was cool.
-It's cool that you do that stuff. -Nice fun.
Also, it's also cool that you do this stuff, too.
Can we talk about "Brzrkr"? -Oh, you have "Brzrkr."
[ Cheering and applause ] -Oh, yeah, I have "Brzrkr."
-It's a comic book. -This is unbelievable.
Now, this is just an idea that you had and you go,
"I'm just going to make this."
-Yeah, I cowrote it with Matt Kindt
and amazing illustrator Ron Garney.
Issue 12. It's a 12-issue limited series.
The last one came out yesterday.
-Yeah. Do you know the first --
[ Cheering and applause ] -Yeah.
-The first issue sold over 650,000 copies, making it
the highest selling indie comic of the 21st century.
[ Cheering and applause ] -Wow. Thanks.
Thanks, universe. -Wow!
-Thanks, everybody. No, it's cool.
I love comic books, and having the chance
to do something like that was really,
really special. -How did you end up coming up
with the storyline and everything?
-Where do ideas come from? [ Laughter ]
-I know, yeah, that's a very deep question.
-Where do they -- it came to me -- What about
a character that could punch people through the chest?
[ Laughter ]
And then, like, what if they were half God, half immortal?
And then what if they were alive for 80,000 years?
Then what would society do with that
but then he's cursed with violence.
-He doesn't want to be violent. -He doesn't want to be violent.
-No, but it's in his blood. -He can't die.
Then he doesn't know who his father is.
-Are you kidding me? -There's this tribe that like
asks the gods for a weapon because they're being like
ambushed and exploited every season.
And then they get this kid -- -When are we seeing this movie?!
[ Cheering ] I want to see this! Come on!
[ Cheering and applause ]
-Oh, and then he's like being used
by the United States government. They're trying to like figure
him out, how does he tick. -Yeah, of course the government
gets involved, yes! -Of course. Yes!
-Black ops. -But what would you do
with this idea, Keanu Reeves,
if you couldn't have this outlet?
Would this just live in your brain?
[ Laughter ]
I don't know. You did it. -Yeah, I don't know.
-You got it out. -I don't know.
I mean, it's like the creative act
is something special. -It is, yeah.
-And it's storytelling.
And what would I do if I couldn't do that?
I'd probably be on the street, just babbling.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Would you make this into a movie?
-Yeah, that'd be fun.
-Yeah. Would you direct it?
-Mm. I don't know. I don't know.
We tried to shop it around and then Netflix said,
"Hey, do you want to make it with us?"
And I was like, "Sure."
And then so we're going to try and make that happen.
-Whoa! -Yeah.
[ Cheering and applause ] I love it.
We have to talk about "John Wick: Chapter 4."
Buddy, you did it again.
It's unbelievable!
It's -- This one -- This one's the best.
-What? -This one is the best one.
Yes! -The best? What?
-Plug your ears because I know they're all your babies.
But I like this one. -What? That's awesome.
-The first one was like, "Holy moly."
-I know, "What the heck is that?"
-I loved it. I didn't know the first one was even out.
I don't know how I even saw the first one.
And I go, "Oh, my gosh." I think I was in a hotel somewhere.
I go, "This movie's phenomenal." -That's kind.
-I call my wife, I go, "You've got to watch 'John Wick,' man."
This is like I'm in all the way, man, and we love you,
and the whole Fallons love Keanu
at the house, yeah. -Oh, thanks, Jimmy.
Well, you celebrate my birthday when it's not my birthday.
[ Laughter ] It's great.
This one has got it all. It looks gorgeous.
-Yeah, it's beautiful. -It's a work of art.
The action starts maybe five seconds into it
[ Laughter ] and doesn't stop until you leave the theater.
-Yeah, there's a lot of action.
-You're on a horse at one point.
-Yeah. -Shooting people.
-Well, you know, I'm -- Yeah.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
There's nunchucks.
-Yes, there are. -Yeah.
There's throwing stars.
-Yeah. -There's --
-Driving. -By the way.
-Crazy driving. -Driving scenes with no doors.
-Yeah, yeah. -No windows maybe at one point.
-They got blown out, too. [ Laughter ]
-There's just a steering wheel and wheels, that's all it is.
It's like a go-cart, by the end of it.
-No, that's an American muscle car.
I'm like throwing 180s. -Oh, my gosh!
-Doing John Wick things.
-I read somewhere there's 14 action sequences.
-Yeah. Yeah.
-And it's all choreographed brilliantly.
-Yeah, most of the time.
[ Laughter ]
I mean, it's always -- Well, I can't say
it's always choreographed. -Is there improvising ever?
-Yeah, kind of, yeah. -And does that end well?
No? -Yes.
No humans were harmed in the making of this film.
[ Laughter ] -Thank you, yeah. -No, I mean, there's a lot --
the director, visionary Chad Stahelski,
is very inventive and he really wants to create
different kinds of environments
or ways in the storytelling for the action.
-He's got to be a genius because, I mean, this is
the fourth one and you're still reinventing new ways.
I go, "Oh, that shot is gorgeous!
How did you even come up with that?"
The cars on its side, the lights hitting you at a certain thing.
-Cinema.
[ Laughter ] Cinema.
-It feels like cinema. -Cinema.
It feels like you're watching -- Yes!
-Cinema.
[ Cheering and applause ]
-What can we say about "John Wick" and this one
that's not spoiling anything? Or can I just -- Can we just --
Like I know you want to get out. Like always.
You don't want to do this. -I don't.
I'm looking for my personal freedom.
-Yes! -You know?
It starts with trying to get my ring back,
but that doesn't work so well, so then...
-No. -...I get a little angry.
[ Laughter ] But then --
But I'm looking for my personal freedom.
There's a whole bunch of new characters
who are opening up the world of the High Table.
-Who plays Caine?
-Caine is Donnie Yen.
[ Cheering and applause ]
He's a legend.
Hiroyuki Sanada. Rina Sawayama, who was on your show.
-Rina Sawayama is fantastic. She was on last night.
-She's awesome. -It's a crusher cast.
-Shamier Anderson. So we have The Tracker.
We have Caine, we have Shimazu,
so all of these different characters.
It's friendship, brotherhood, father, daughter,
the choices that you make, rules and consequences,
who are you, man?
[ Cheering and applause ] -Wow! Come on!
-And here's how it's gonna work.
I'll be asking both of you animal trivia questions.
[ Audience "Awws" ]
And if you answer correctly,
you will receive a golden retriever puppy.
[ Awws, cheering, and applause ]
-That's the way it works.
-If you answer incorrectly, your opponent gets the puppy.
[ Awws ] And whoever has the most puppies
at the end of the game

Keanu, since you're our guest, you'll answer the first question
and either win or lose Mr. Gary Frick Jr.
-Okay.

-I'm so terrible with this.
[ Laughter ] -Wait.
He didn't even finish the question.
-I know. I just know it's just gonna be a disaster.
-No, come on. -It's just -- okay, go ahead.
-You're gonna get this one.
What is the only species of reptile native to Ireland.
Is it, A, snake... -Come on.
-...B, lizard, or, C, turtle?
Not sea turtle. C, turtle.
[ Laughter ] -Native to Ireland.
Okay. So all of those are kind of,
like, the thing and what's gonna be the thing,
and then what's the thing that you don't think it's gonna be,
so you're gonna say turtle. -Right.
But then you're gonna change your answer to...
-Uh, uh, lizard. [ Laughter ]
-Lizard. Yes!
Lizard is correct! [ Cheering and applause ]
You win Gary Frick Jr. -Hey, buddy.
How's it going? -Come on.
This is not fair. First of all,
I'm not taking a puppy away from John Wick.
[ Laughter ]
Just saying that right now. -Okay.
This next question's for you, Jimmy.
-Okay. -Where you going?
-Which of the following species
is not the name of a real animal?
Okay? Which of the following
is not the name of a real animal species?

-It is? -Yeah.
-No! Answer was shorty bobbit.
Oh, shorty bobbit. [ Ohhs ]
Now, Keanu wins the adorable puppy Mary Kennedy.

[ Laughter ] -Watch out.
-Keanu. -What?
-A dik-dik... [ Laughter ]
[ Laughter ]
Is it...
Not cantaloupe.
[ Suspenseful music plays ] [ Laughter ]
-Okay. So, you do the one that you think it's gonna be,
but then you pick the one that you don't think it's gonna be,
and then you pick the one that you don't think it's gonna be,
and then the dik-dik is an antelope.
-That is correct! [ Ding! ]
[ Cheering and applause ]
-Are you out of your mind?
-Keanu, you and Lisa McAdams and Lisa Armstrong.
-Double Puppardy. [ Cheering and applause ]
