So I saw the other day you got your hands and your feet
in the Chinese Grauman and the--
the you know.
The ceremony, yeah.
Yeah, you know.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING AND CLAPPING]
That's a pretty special thing.
It is.
Yeah.
Was that-- because you seem a very humble, very shy guy,
was that awkward for you?
It was really intense.
It was, you know it's a place that I had seen as a kid,
and gone to as a kid.
And then when I came to Los Angeles in '85, to you know,
I'd started acting when I was 15, 16, and watching movies,
and loving movies, and wanting to be in movies.
And I would go to that cinema and see those movie stars
and legends.
And so, to be there however many decades later and years,
to become part of that tradition.
Yeah.
You know, and to have that ceremony is, it was really,
is really special to me.
Yeah.
And to have friends and people I work with there.
Yeah.
It's cool.
Was Sandy there?
No.
I would have been there if I was.
That's Keanu Reeves as John Wick in Parabellum.
There's a lot of that in there, and that is you.
Yeah.
It's all you.
I did most of that except for when the John Wick
character got thrown, and did that somersault
and then landed and smashed on their back.
That was Jackson Spidell.
That was not you.
That wasn't me.
But the rest was me.
But you do all of the-- all of the choreographed,
all that is like you.
Yeah, I do like, I do probably 85%, 90% of the action.
But-- yeah.
How many times have you gotten smacked in the face or just
smacked somebody in the face?
On Chapter 3, oh, I--
well, I didn't smack, I kicked someone in the balls.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But not on purpose.
No, I'm working with such great professionals
and talented people.
And we take care of each other.
Yeah.
But we love the intensity of it
Yeah.
And it is kind of like a dance.
So there's like a vision, choreography,
rehearsal, ensemble, and then John Wick it.
Yeah.
So there's a scene of you on a horse,
and you're riding this horse in traffic,
and then you're on the side.
Portia said, I want that horse.
Can you find out where it is?
Because--
Oh, yeah.
As you know, horses are so dangerous.
And she's been thrown before, and they spook easily.
And she's like, I want that horse.
Like how did that horse do that?
A lot of training.
The horse is trained, too.
Yes.
And we train with the horses.
That's amazing.
But you were hanging off on the side at one point.
Yeah, there was one point where-- usually when
you train for a film with, you know,
for me my experience was like, OK, you learn how to walk,
you know, trot, canter, a little gallop, hit a mark.
And then with John Wick it's like, do all of those things
and then get off the saddle.
And then shoot somebody, you know.
So, yeah, it was crazy.
That's incredible.
And that's why we want to go to the movies, right?
Yeah.
Sometimes, you know, to see the fantastical.
To see that--
I don't know.
Yeah, just to escape from everything
else that's going on.
It's fun to go into that world.
Have a good time--
But it's so good.
And you're so good in it.
You're so, I mean, the fight scenes are unbelievable.
I'm just--
I appreciate that, thank you.
It's incredible.
It's called, John Wick, Chapter 3, Parabellum.
It opens in theaters today.
We'll be right back.
