Keanu reeves recreated a photo he took

Welcome back. You know my first guests from films like Speed, The Matrix, and John Wick. Please welcome back to The Late Show, Keanu Reeves. Good to see you again. You're looking well. Thank you, sir. Thank you for wearing something for the Easter season. Resurrection. There it is. There it is. Resurrection. In his own shroud. Last time you were here, you were with your co-star and your dear friend Alex Winter, taking a break from your Broadway performances of Waiting for Godot. Yes. And how many months? Four, five, something like that? It was 14 weeks. 14 weeks. Okay, like eight a week, something like that? Yeah, eight a week, except for the holidays. Yeah, how did you... Have you decompressed from that yet? Because that's a very intense situation. Yeah, it is. I'm still in shock. Because it's not just any play for 14 weeks. Waiting for Godot is pretty intense. Yeah, it's an amazing work, and doing it was a dream of a lifetime. The reality of it was even more intense and remarkable, and it's something that you're in, and then it ends, and it's what happened, and now did that. Is it like grief, and so there's confusion involved with it? No, you don't even know. I would imagine it's like if someone just cut off your arm. I'm glad you can only imagine that. Well, I mean, in the sense of like, oh, my arm just got cut off. Now, the pain that you're associating with it ending is that you caught the bug. Do you want to do it more? Do you want to do it again? I do. I do. I do, yeah. Right play. The right what? The right play. It was the right play, and I would not say no to that. Would you do Godot again? Yes. Oh. What am I saying? Yes, because people are just booking tickets right now because you said that. Oh, that's nice. We've done New York. Where would you go? London, Japan. I wouldn't mind going to Japan. Japan? Yeah. Wow, okay. Yeah, like do the West End and then go to Tokyo. Yeah, the East End. Yes. The Far East. Far East End. Okay, you have a new film coming out called Outcome. Outcome. Which looks fantastic. This Friday. Thank you. Tell us a little bit about it and who you play for it. It's directed by Jonah Hill, who's also acting in it. Yes. Amazing fantasy. And it was co-written by Ezra Woods, and I play a guy named Reef Hawk. Great name. Reef Hawk. Yes, almost as good as Keanu Reeves, but not quite. Reef Hawk, okay. Reef Hawk. Who's Reef? Reef is an actor. He's a childhood actor. Okay. And he grew up, and then he kind of went crazy. But when we meet him, he's five years sober. He thinks he's got his life together, and then he gets a call from his crisis lawyer, who's Jonah, and he's like, there's a videotape. And I'm like, what's on it? He goes, we don't know. What do you mean we don't know? We don't know. And so it's kind of like, I'm kind of making amends to my friends, but I want to find out who's trying to extort me. And having to take stock, I assume, of your behavior. Yeah. Because I have a bit of a checkered past that I was protected. And then I have my two high school friends, Cameron Diaz and Matt Bomer. You and Cameron, this is a bit of a reunion. Here the two of you are from 30 years ago in Feeling, Minnesota. Yeah. Was that a nice reunion? Yeah, it was very sweet. To be back with her? Yeah, it was very nice. I've never met her. Is she nice? Oh my gosh, she's incredible. Yeah, then why didn't she come on? Anyway, so the story is about what's going to happen, and it's a story of friendship, redemption, self-learning knowledge, and the importance of being honest and Martin Scorsese. Well, that's just it. I wanted to ask you, is that you have a scene. You act opposite Scorsese. What is that like? It's better than getting your arm bitten off. No. It's amazing. It's amazing. It's like, I mean, obviously, you know, the legacy, the art. Sure. I had a chance to meet with him over the years. He's just remarkable, and to act with him is extraordinary. You're just working with him, and everything just feels really real, and everything kind of disappears. He's playing my manager, like when I was a kid, and, you know, so he's very kind to me. So he's saying nice things, but, you know, and you believe it. So it's nice. Yes. Everyone's like, and, like, it's just everyone's like, I interviewed him a couple of times, just sitting right there, and while he's answering the questions, I didn't hear a word he said. No, you just go, it's Martin Scorsese. It's Martin Scorsese. Yeah, exactly. And he's saying amazing stuff. Exactly, and then when the noise would stop coming out of him, I'd go, wow. He wouldn't even know. They didn't hear a damn thing he was saying. No, but you'd love it. Another one of your co-stars. This is pretty exciting. We have a clip here with the one and only Susan Lucci, who co-stars with you. Wonderful to see her. She looks fantastic. Can you tell us a little bit, we're going to see a clip here. Do we need to know anything? Yeah, she's my mom, and a bit of a stage mom. I have some, we have some issues, and she's doing a reality show, and she's invited me on the reality. I wanted to apologize to her, but she said, that's great, honey. Can we do it on my show? And I think that's a problem. And so this is us doing, saying hi to each other on her show. A reality show. It's been so long, Mom. It has. I have a lot to apologize to you for. For starters, I was often very rude about you participating in this kind of entertainment. I'm sorry for that. Sorry. Can we try that one more time? The label wasn't cheating towards camera. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back with more Piano Leads, everybody.
