Keanu Reeves shows impressive driving skill in 'John Wick: Chapter 4'



If you’ve watched any of the "John Wick" movies, you’re well aware of the violence and action, but there’s plenty of driving going on in some of the films. The latest, "John Wick: Chapter 4," is in theaters now, again starring Keanu Reeves as an assassin of “particular focus.” As it turns out, though, he’s such a good driver that the film’s stunt drivers could’ve taken a day or two off.

Racer and former "Top Gear America" host Tanner Foust got the nod to be John Wick’s driving stunt double, but he said Keanu took to the action so well that Foust rates his drifting skills as an 8 out of 10 – high praise from one of the most well-known drivers around. Foust attributed some of Keanu’s skills to his motorcycle experience, which he said led to faster learning times behind the wheel.

Foust spent several months training Reeves in Berlin to prepare for the film and said that the team devised a set of maneuvers that Keanu could reliably perform repeatedly. The resulting shots are impressive – one-handed drifting while reloading, and reaching the absolute limit without crossing it.
