Back in 1992, the actor starred alongside Monica Bellucci in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. In an interview, Monica Bellucci revealed that they had to shoot the scene multiple times with different variations. These variations caused several retakes which enabled the actress to kiss Reeves an alleged 50 times!

“We did the scene with very many clothes, then fewer clothes, then fewer clothes, and we had to do the scene maybe 50 times. Keanu is a good kisser, so it wasn’t painful. Nine years ago, when I did Bram Stoker’s Dracula and I was just a model, I had to kiss Keanu in that. Every eight years, I kiss Keanu Reeves.” 

The Reeves and Diane Keaton starrer received a rating of 6.7/10 on IMDB and 72% on Rotten Tomatoes. Something’s Gotta Give is available to stream on Paramount+ in the U.S.
