Keanu stunned customers after going for a boozy dinner at a pub in Northamptonshire village on Friday.
He left customers stunned after turning up for dinner ‘and a few whiskies’ at a local pub.
The Matrix actor walked into the The Fox and Hounds, in Charwelton, where he happily mingled with punters and posed for photos.
Landlord Danny Ricks said he had to do a ‘double take’ when the film star entered and sat down at a table with six other people.
The 57-year-old ate a vegetarian Caesar salad for starter followed by a main course of falafel – washed down with ‘quite a few double whiskies’.
Danny said: ‘It was bizarre. I had to do a double take when he walked in as I couldn’t quite believe my eyes. I thought ‘that guy looks quite a lot like Keanu Reeves’.
‘He sat down with six other TV people, I couldn’t really hear what they were discussing but it all about filming and scripts.
‘He was just a lovely, down to earth guy and was really nice to everyone. Everything nice you would think about him was all true.
‘He stood and took photos with customers and staff. Nothing was too much for him, he took plenty of time to chat to everybody.
‘He had the caesar salad and a falafel dish and he got through quite a few double whiskies as well. He certainly likes his whisky.
‘We managed to stay professional until the end of his visit but of course we had to get a picture with him.
‘It’s not every day you get a Hollywood star walk into your pub. It made everyone’s evening. He was such a top bloke and absolutely lovely.’
According to the Independent, it turns out that this isn’t the first time that the actor has crashed a wedding.
Back in 2018, he photobombed a couple who had just got married in New York City.
The snap was shared by the groom’s kilt maker, who wrote: ‘Best #Wedding Picture EVER! Moray & Maura recently got hitched in New York and were #photobombed by a rather scruffy chap passing by. We think Moray looks way better than #KeanuReeves in his stylish @slanjkilts.’
The Matrix Resurrections action star Keanu has officially signed on to star in his first major TV series Devil in the White City seven months after being ‘in talks’ on the project.
The evergreen 57-year-old is scheduled to begin filming his role as real-life Chicago architect Daniel Burnham in Hulu’s 2024 limited series next year.

It’s at the Chicago World’s Fair where Burnham crosses paths with serial killer H. H. Holmes as depicted in Erik Larson’s 2004 non-fiction book The Devil in the White City.
It has not yet been announced who will portray Holmes, who was building his infamous ‘Murder Castle’ at the same time of the Chicago World’s Fair aka World’s Columbian Exposition.

Three-time Oscar nominee Todd Field (Little Children, In the Bedroom) will direct the series overseen by showrunner Sam Shaw (Castle Rock, Manhattan).
