In 2019, Halle Berry first played the role of Keanu Reeves in John Wick Parabellum, the third installment in the saga, for which she had a very personal desire. But did you know that the two Hollywood stars could have worked together twenty-five years earlier?
While promoting John Wick Parabellum, Halle Berry has indeed revealed that she could be Keanu Reeves’ co-star in Jan de Bont’s feature film Speed. But the actor turned down the role, a choice he deeply regrets today.
“I was offered to play in Speed earlier Sandra Bullock. I was stupid, wasn’t I? But in my defense I read the version of the script where the bus didn’t leave the parking lot.”– Halle Berry says with a laugh, as if to clear her head, at the microphone of Entertainment Tonight. “I was involved in the project before Keanu and Sandra, they offered me the parking version.”
“When I was reading the script, I said to myself, ‘No, no, no, no, no.'”continues the actor. “After I saw the movie…” Halle Berry doesn’t finish her sentence and silently imitates a howl of rage that leaves no doubt: she deeply regrets not starring in one of the most popular action films of the 90s.
