Someone Asked Keanu Reeves About The Most ‘Badass’ Thing Ana De Armas Did On Ballerina, And I Love How Thoughtful His Answer Was: ‘I’m Going Through The Fight In My Head’

by

The first film in a series of movies based on the World of “John Wick” debuted this weekend, and although “Ballerina” didn’t take the top spot at the box office during its opening weekend, it garnered positive feedback from both critics and audiences. Most notably, Ana de Armas has been receiving a lot of praise for her acting skills. This acclaim extends to Keanu Reeves, who plays John Wick himself, as he shared some impressive moments that highlight de Armas’ toughness.

In the movie “Ballerina“, John Wick is present, and graced us with his presence at its premiere. During an interview on the red carpet with THR, Reeves was questioned about the most “tough” action Ana de Armas performed on set. What he said was impressive, but even more so was what he didn’t say. Reeves pauses, thinking deeply, seemingly replaying their entire fight scene in his mind. Take a look:

Time and again, particularly during red carpet interviews, celebrities often resort to pre-prepared responses that tend not to address the question directly and lack intriguing details. However, Keanu Reeves takes a moment to ponder his response, aiming to provide the most insightful answer. As someone who occasionally gets to pose questions to the famous, I admire this thoughtfulness in conversation.

Indeed, Keanu Reeves has a response to your query. Pondering for a moment, Ana de Armas’s most “badass” move in Ballerina, as I’ve gathered, lies in her dedication to delivering an exceptional action performance. In rehearsals, she gives it her all, but when the camera starts rolling, she takes it up a notch and refines her actions even further. As Keanu Reeves put it…

It was thrilling to witness the transformation, as we’d transition from training to performance, following the cue of ‘Action.’ In those moments, she would rise to a new level, truly embodying her passion for the craft. You could see the genuine joy and dedication she had for her actions and character.

Spectators who got a glimpse of Keanu and Ana de Armas’s preparation for the film “Ballerina” were left in awe by their stunning performances on screen. It’s hard not to acknowledge that these two stars have elevated their performance to an exceptional level. Although “Ballerina” may not quite reach the heights of the “John Wick” series, it undoubtedly enriches the franchise with its impressive addition.

There’s no definite answer yet on whether Ana de Armas will reappear in the John Wick series. The storyline of ‘Ballerina’ has us doubting the sequence of events, but with more spinoffs and sequels coming up for the franchise, there might be chances for her character to return. If that happens, it’s likely she’ll give a top-notch performance, as Keanu Reeves is already quite fond of her work.
