“It’s always weird when your teeth melt” – JOE meets Keanu Reeves to talk Father Ted and his new film John Wick

And yes, he does say "woah" during the interview

JOE

Keanu Reeves

The superstar was in fantastically friendly form.

Steven Seagal must be shittin’ himself.

The aging action star is about to have his ‘Best Bad Guy Butt-kicking Award’* forcefully removed from his possession by none other than JOE’s new favourite person, Keanu Reeves.

Look, here’s Seagal trying to get it back from the last guy who took it…

Keanu Reeves is about explode into Irish cinemas as John Wick, a deadly and seemingly unstoppable retired hitman seeking vengeance for… wait for it… the killing of his beloved Beagle puppy, Daisy, at the hands of the Russian mafia.

We shit you not.

To be fair, the dog was a gift from his recently deceased wife, so it really did mean a lot to him.

We sent JOE’s resident anonymous henchman, Eoghan Doherty, over to meet the iconic star of Point Break, Speed and The Matrix, to talk about slick suits, weird dreams and, for the first time in Keanu’s life (we think), Father Ted.

Oh, and we tried to kick things off by re-enacting the famous ‘Pill Scene’ from The Matrix.

With Smarties.

Excuse us while we just freak out a wee bit here.

Our own personal favourite moment? The moment when Keanu goes full-on Ted ‘Theodore’ Logan and says the word “gifts.”

John Wick is blasting its way into Irish cinemas on Friday 10 April and believe JOE when we say, it is one of the most fun and fight-tastic films we’ve seen in a long, long time.

Go see it. Or else John Wick will come to your house and give you a stern talking to. WITH HIS FISTS.

Check out the full trailer below…

*It’s a real award, JOE won it in 1997.
