Keanu Reeves is known as one of the coolest cats in Hollywood. While a movie star, he acts like an everyday person, making himself accessible to fans and the rest of the world.

It’s not uncommon to see Reeves walking the streets or taking the subway in New York. That’s just the way he’s chosen to live his life — like the rest of us.
Well, fans will be happy to know that he can take a break from being Mr. Everyman to at least collect some cool stuff from his movie sets. One of those, he revealed, is the red pill made famous by the original Matrix flick.
Reeves, 58, played Neo in the franchise and the red pill allowed the character to see the truth. The blue one would allow him to return to normal life.

As for normal life, Reeves admitted he has the pill in his possession during a Reddit chat, when someone asked him if he’s ever “stolen” anything from any of his movie sets.
“Not stolen,’ Reeves said, before listing off the items he owns, “the watch and wedding ring from John Wick, a sword from 47 Ronin, and the first red pill that the Wachowskis ever gave me.”
Reeves, of course, is currently promoting the latest John Wick flick, simply called John Wick 4: Chapter 4.
He has also been in four Matrix films and has admitted he’d be open to doing another. Both John Wick and the Matrix have kept Reeves in tip-top shape, as both require Martial Arts-type scenes.
“Nothing can ever compare to the kung fu training from the Matrix because it was so unique and my first time … but the jiu jitsu in John Wick being integrated with judo and gunfights can never be touched in its own way,” Reeves said during the Reddit chat.
