For years I thought Keanu Reeves was English
 
Because the only film in which I'd seen him was Dracula.

His mother is English. But he was born in Lebanon.
Has Canadian nationality.

Dracula is the only film you've seen of his? Wtf? No Bill & Ted or The Matrix or John Wick or Point Break or Speed???

Keanu Reeves was born in Lebanon?

Does he have Dual Citizenship between Canada and Lebanon then?

…wasn’t Keanu’s English accent in Bram Stoker’s Dracula a bit on a par with Dick Van Dyke’s cockney accent in Mary Poppins…:laugh:…obviously an exaggeration but I don’t recall it as being very good ….I like him, not the best actor ever but a good screen presence and very likeable…favourite of his movies would probably be Matrix/obviously…Speed, Point Break and Constantine…and Bill and Ted is iconic…

He was great on Point Break. Probably my favourite movie he's done.

Out of those I've only seen Matrix, and that was embarrassingly recent :joker:

Wait, Dick Van Dyke isn't cockney!?

Constantine ... there's a character in DC Comics I love called that, was he a magician of sorts?

…he was an exorcist person, I think he was half angel and was very helpful with supernatural type stuff…maybe he was based on a DC character, I’m not sure actually but that could be so…

bots 04-03-2024 09:29 AM

Constantine has his own series, he is also in Arrow and Legends of tomorrow

Ammi 04-03-2024 09:31 AM

…I might start a thread…For years I thought Keanu Reeves was half angel…

Was going to come back to the thread to say this, his English accent was ridiculously bad in Dracula :laugh:

Oh The Devils Advocate with Al Pacino was really good too I thought

user104658 04-03-2024 09:58 AM

You HAVEN'T SEEN "SPEED"?? This is absolute madness. Watch it immediately.

…oh that would be an excellent re-watch that I might have because I barely recall his character in that….but I know that I liked the movie at the time I watched it…

Ohh if we can find a link for it maybe we could resurrect the movie club with this one? It's been a long time since I've watched it too

…yeah I’ll check over the next few days if it’s on any of the main streaming sites and it would be a good starter…

Ammi 04-03-2024 11:34 AM

…will Oliver watch it, though…:laugh:…

…so far, I haven’t found this to watch…they do have it on Amazon Prime but it’s a paid for movie… Netflix aren’t showing it…
