There is nothing like a good anecdote about two Hollywood-A listers crossing paths in their regular lives. Add a little fast action hustling and billiards, and you’ve got yourself one heck of a story on your hands. It is precisely the type of story Nic Cage recently shared about his time at a party with John Wick actor and the internet’s most loveable dude, Keanu Reeves. That's right, according to Cage, the Speed star once hustled him at a game of billiards at a party, but he doesn't hold that against Keanu because he still “digs” his movies.

Costars Nic Cage and Nicholas Hoult recently sat down for a Reddit AMA to promote their upcoming horror comedy, Renfield. During the ask me anything, the two actors were questioned by a user about what their favorite Keanu Reeves movies were–you can see our ranking of his characters. Though Hoult had a simple enough response, stating he liked “ the first John Wick” and Speed quite a lot, Cage took the opportunity to share a pretty hilarious story about being taken advantage of in a game of pool by the Matrix alum. Cage responded:

Well… Keanu kicked my ass at billiards one night. He came up to my house on his motorcycle, and he was making these impossible shots. He said, “now I dunno if I can get that shot or this shot,” and he made every single shot. So I have mixed emotions about the skill that Keanu has because he completely dominated me at pool.
