Keanu Reeves is one of the most adored personalities as well as one of the most talented and well-recognized actors in Hollywood. He has made a name for himself through his work on massive projects like Speed, the Matrix franchise, Point Break, The Devil’s Advocate, and most notably, the John Wick franchise.
Outside of his professional achievements, one of the most well-known facts about Reeves known to the general public is that he has a wonderful heart, and being described by many as the kindest and nicest person they have ever met. This sentiment also extends to the Pearl Harbor actress, Kate Beckinsale, who has revealed how Reeves saved her from public humiliation.
Kate Beckinsale Had A Wardrobe Malfunction On A Red Carpet
Kate Beckinsale starred alongside Keanu Reeves, Emma Thompson, and Denzel Washington in the 1993 movie, Much Ado About Nothing. While the cast of the film attended the Cannes Film Festival that year, Beckinsale ended up having a wardrobe malfunction where the bottom of her bodysuit came undone.
“I had bought the bodysuit in the Sock Shop at the airport, and when I got in the car to drive to the premiere with Denzel and Pauletta Washington, all the poppers in the crotch popped themselves open, and it flipped up like a roller blind.” she went on, stating that she, “didn’t feel it was appropriate to go delving around in my undercarriage with all of us in the back of the car so I just quietly panicked,”
This happened in the back of a car when the actress was surrounded by other actors from the film, so she was unable to fix the issue. This resulted in her having to get on the red carpet at one of the most important moments in her life with an outfit that could fall apart at any moment.
Keanu Reeves Saved Kate Beckinsale From A Wardrobe Malfunction
Once Kate Beckinsale got out of the car, she approached Keanu Reeves and another one of her co-stars from the film, Robert Sean Leonard, telling them about what had just happened. Being the gentlemen that they are, Reeves and Leonard helped Beckinsale through this problem, with her holding the front of her top down and the two actors holding the back of her top down as photographers took pictures of the three.
“Walked out onto the biggest red carpet of my life and whispered to Keanu and Robert Sean Leonard what had happened. In this picture, I am holding the front gusset down and the two of them are holding the back gusset.” She went on, “Absolute legends who may not even have fully understood the physics of what was happening or even heard the word ‘gusset’ before but both jumped in to save me no questions asked”
Beckinsale went on to say that she was so incredibly grateful to the two, applauding them on the fact that despite them not understanding what the situation was, they helped her out, no questions asked, going on to call them legends.
