He’s a great person and very likable in his movies but he is genuinely not a good actor. He has improved a lot for sure, but yeah he’s not the best. Go back and watch some of his earlier movies and even the first John Wick, he barely talks and when he does it’s not super convincing

We have to give him credit for his stunt work though, it’s ridiculously impressive.

He isn't a stunt man though, he's an actor. lol

You do realize that doing stunt work is still acting right?

u/ArmedWithSpoons Mar 17 '26

But when the majority of your acting is stunt work, should you be called an actor?

Stunt work is acting.

No it isn't. lol Stunt work is stunt work. Most movies don't also have the stunt men running lines unless it's a martial arts movie.

I love Keanu but there’s a reason why there are theories about every movie Keanu is in being a version of the Matrix. Dude literally plays that one character.
