Speed - Keanu and Sandra!

So sweet . . . . love this story . When such times we might be forgiven for thinking all of the Hollywood stars are bang at it as they idiom would have it! This . . . . . . . . they both had an immense crush on each other and never told the other . . . . . . until it came out years later! I love it!

When Keanu Reeves appeared on Ellen in May 2019, he watched a clip from Sandra Bullock’s interview on the same show a few months earlier, during which she discussed having a crush on him while they were making 1994’s Speed.

Sandra said that when she reflects on Speed, “I think about how sweet Keanu Reeves was and how handsome he was.” Apparently, he was so handsome that she had a hard time focusing during dramatic scenes. When Ellen asked if they ever dated, Sandra laughed and said, “Never dated him. There was something about me that I guess he didn’t like.”

After seeing this, Keanu said that not only was he unaware of Sandra’s crush but it was mutual. He said, “She obviously didn’t know I had a crush on her, either.”
