You asked for it: in honor of the release of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, we sat down with the one and only Keanu Reeves and… puppies!
BuzzFeed Celeb
We asked Keanu your fan-submitted questions in a room full of tiny little puppies and it was honestly too adorable to take at times:

A little bit of puppy pee and Keanu moderating this little puppy-scuffle are just a few of the highlights in the interview, which you can watch below!

What was the craziest experience you had while filming John Wick?
BuzzFeed Celeb
KR: Doing a gun fight on a horse on the streets of Brooklyn. That’s in [John Wick] Chapter 3. That was pretty crazy.
What is your secret for always staying down to earth?
KR: Well, I mean, gravity.
Can you tell us anything about your character in Toy Story 4?
BuzzFeed Celeb, Pixar
KR: Yes. I play Duke Kaboom, Canada’s greatest stunt man. It was a lot of fun to do that film. It’s a cool character, it’s a wonderful story, and Pixar is great.
What stunt are you most proud of?
KR: I don’t do “stunts” but I try to do as much action as I can.
How much training did you do for fight scenes in The Matrix and John Wick?
BuzzFeed Celeb
KR: I did a lot of training and it was really fun. The Matrix, the first time, was learning Wire and Kung Fu. John Wick was Judo and Jiu Jistu, and a lot more gun manipulation, and that was lots and lots and lots [of fun]. I love doing action films, I love the training, I love being there as much as I can to create that relationship between the character and the audience.
Do you share any similarities between your character John Wick?
KR: We might share a kind of dry sense of humor. Other than that, I can’t really say.
If you could time travel to any period in time, when would it be and why?
BuzzFeed Celeb
KR: I always wanted to know — ever since I was growing up — who really wrote the plays of Shakespeare. So I wanna be there at that moment with “Shakespeare” — cause I don’t really think it was “Shakespeare.” I’m an Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford [guy]. So I’d like to be there in the 1600s “Shakespeare” writing Hamlet.
You are known for your love of literature. What are some books you could recommend? What’s your favorite genre?
KR: I’m gonna pick a book that I read recently, Overstory by Richard Powers. Check that book out. I don’t have a favorite genre.
If you could choose any superhero or villain to play in the Marvel or DC Comics universe, who would it be and why?
BuzzFeed Celeb
KR: I don’t know, when I was a kid I always wanted to play Wolverine. So, Wolverine.
If you had to live in any of the films you’ve been in, which one would you choose?
KR: Can I visit a bunch of them? I don’t want to be in just one era, it’s like picking a puppy! I guess eventually you’ve gotta choose, no, well, you could take them all. I don’t know!
Do you think John Wick and Ted Logan would get along?
KR: Yeah, why not? Yeah, that’d be an interesting conversation. Maybe we could talk about music.
What advice would you give your 17-year-old self?
KR: I hate giving advice.
Are we in ~The Matrix~?
BuzzFeed Celeb
If you could only have one sandwich forsaking all other sandwiches for the rest of your life what would that be?
KR: Ah, it’s a tough question. I’m going to pick peanut butter and honey.
How did you discover your love for motorcycles?
BuzzFeed Celeb
KR: Riding them! They’re beautiful. Riding a motorcycle is like being a puppy. [To puppy] Isn’t it?
