Viewers Slam BBC Interviewer for Asking Keanu Reeves ‘Inappropriate’ Questions during Interview – Video
When Keanu Reeves sat down with BBC for a chat, fans expected charm and laughter. What they didn’t expect? A line of questioning that left viewers disappointed —and calling out the hosts for going too far.
BBC’s “The One Show” took an unexpected turn during a recent interview with Hollywood’s beloved Keanu Reeves. The “John Wick” actor, usually known for his calm and collected demeanor, faced uncomfortable questions that had fans tuning in, then turning to social media to call it inappropriate.

In the episode, Alex Jones, one of the show’s regular hosts, brought up Reeves’ 1994 blockbuster hit, “Speed,” which also starred Sandra Bullock. Jones casually asked if Reeves had enjoyed his reunion with Bullock marking the action-thriller’s 30th anniversary.
Reeves responded with his characteristic charm, “That was so nice. Yeah, Sandra Bullock and I get along really well and it’s always nice to see her, so it was nice to kind of hang out for a little bit.”
But just as the mood seemed to lift, another presenter, Gabby Logan, interrupted with a question that many viewers deemed unprofessional. She asked, “Didn’t you discover later that you could’ve got on even better… you both had a bit of a crush on each other on set but you didn’t find out until later on that you kind of fancied each other…”

Reeves, caught off-guard, grinned and looked to the ceiling, replying with a playful acknowledgment, “Ohhhh yeah! We were very professional.” His lighthearted response did little to ease the tension in the room, and the audience felt the awkwardness.

Jones chimed in, attempting to diffuse the situation, stating, “That would’ve been a nice couple!” Logan added, “There was great chemistry on screen anyway; it was fantastic.” Yet, the attempt to keep things jovial only heightened the discomfort for some viewers.
As clips from the interview spread across social media, many fans expressed their disapproval, labeling the question as “rude.” One viewer pointed out that it was “disrespectful to ask him that question when the guy has a long-term girlfriend.”
