It’s safe to assume that drinking tons of soda isn’t part of Keanu Reeves’ dietary regimen. But a recently resurfaced clip of him in a Coca-Cola ad shows reminds us his career spans almost 40 years.

About four years ago, The Late Late Show With James Corden unearthed the 1980s advertisement while Reeves guested on the show. Of course, Corden forced Reeves to watch the clip in horror.

“One of your earliest roles onscreen was a Coca-Cola commercial,” Corden said. “What do remember about shooting that particular commercial?”

Reeves responded: “So I had to play a cyclist who’s a young kid. My father’s the coach, [and it takes place on the day of] a big race. … We had to improv some scenes, we had to pretend that it wasn’t hot and that we were performing in the winter. So it was real-world working experience.”

When Reeves also admitted that he shaved his legs for the commercial, Corden and the audience burst out laughing.

“Yeah, ‘cause I’m playing a cyclist!” Reeves reasoned.

At that point, Corden played the original ad to surprise Reeves.

The amusing caption for the clip says: “James asks Keanu Reeves about his 1980s Coca-Cola commercial and learns that Keanu went rather method, shaving his legs for the big role, and James surprises Keanu by rolling the clip.”

On a darker note, Keanu Reeves will star in a Hulu limited series about America’s first documented modern-day serial killer, USA Today reported last month. Keanu Reeves is also producing the program along with another massive talent, Leonardo DiCaprio.

Have no fear, Keanu Reeves fans: He won’t be playing the serial killer, H.H. Holmes, but rather an architect. The Holmes role will reportedly.
