Keanu Reeves & Drew Barrymore Recalls how he surprised her with a motorcycle ride on her 16th birthday.

Keanu Reeves and Drew Barrymore have a lengthy history together. The Matrix Resurrections‘ hero stopped by The Drew Barrymore Show, where he reconnected with an old friend and former co-star. During their talk, Barrymore recalled Reeves taking her on a motorcycle ride for her 16th birthday. The two performers co-starred in the 1986 picture Babes in Toyland.

“Can I go back to a time when we shared a memory?” Barrymore was curious. “It was my sixteenth birthday, and I was at this club when you came in – that’s the only memory I have.” Please let me know if you have anything to add or alter — And you walked in, took my hand, led me outside, and strapped me to your motorcycle, and we rode at warp speed for the rest of my life.”

“We arrived, then you brought me on a once-in-a-lifetime ride.”  And I was such a free person, such a free human being “She had a flashback. “And it was then that I discovered how much I loved life and how content I was. I treasure it since achieving that feeling becomes harder as we get older.”

Reeves grinned as he tried to recall the scene, asking which club they were in and which streets they were on.

“We could get on it if we were on third at night,” he said, referring to how swiftly they were likely driving. “Riding your bike is fantastic and offers you a sense of freedom.”

What Keanu Reeves & Drew Barrymore Shared About the Nostalgia?

The talk show host then asked him what made him feel the freest, and he replied that performing.

“Play was the sensation of being free. It was pleasurable.” He went on to say more. “It’s remarkable what occurs when someone says, “Action!” We’ll start with the director or the first AD, if that’s the case. Right now, we’re in the thick of something…. It’s nice, so I’m thankful for the opportunity to work and earn a living.”

Being a part of a Marvel picture is also something Reeves deems “fun.” At the Matrix 4 premiere, ET’s Matt Cohen asked Reeves where he saw himself fitting into the MCU, and he replied, “Oh, my goodness, I’m clueless! Sorry, but I don’t have anything to say to you.”

“There are so many fantastic films, filmmakers, and artists engaged,” Reeves added. “Being a part of that would be thrilling.”
