Keanu Reeves has had his fair share of romance on and off films. Taking a break from all the killing, the John Wick actor decided to star in the 2019 Netflix movie Always Be My Maybe. Starring alongside Ali Wong and several others, Reeves did enjoy making the movie.
During an interview, Ali Wong revealed, however, that she was more impressed by Keanu Reeves’ co-star Daniel Dae Kim. Revealing that Dae Kim improvised their kissing scene, Ali Wong recalled that it was even more exciting than kissing Reeves.
Ali Wong Was More Impressed By Keanu Reeves’ Co-Star
With a theme of childhood love set against the backdrop of adulting and the modern world, Always Be My Maybe had an incredible cast of Ali Wong, Randall Park, Keanu Reeves, and several others. With numerous actors in the mix, Ali Wong had the time of her life when she got to kiss many actors.
In an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Wong revealed that she got to kiss both Keanu Reeves and Daniel Dae Kim. Although she did not tell who was the better kisser, Ali Wong revealed that she was more impressed by what Daniel Dae Kim did while they were kissing. As per the actress, Dae Kim went off the script and lifted her up as if she weighed nothing.
“I kiss a lot of sexy men [in the movie]. I basically made Netflix spend all this money on a movie just so I could kiss Daniel Dae Kim and Keanu Reeves. [Daniel Dae Kim] improvised lifting me up [during a scene], and that was even more exciting than kissing Keanu. I told my best friend, ‘He lifted me up and it wasn’t even a problem for him.’ That was so sexy to me.”
The John Wick actor did not consider the comparison to matter since he was happy just starring in an Ali Wong movie. Recalling how Reeves agreed to do the movie, Ali Wong felt proud of herself because Reeves was a fan of her stand-up comedy.

Ali Wong further added “He told me that when he considers doing a project, it’s all about the people, the script and the director. He must’ve liked all three of those things because he said ‘yes.’”
