“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.” 

However, Bellucci is not the only actress to have engaged in such intimate scenes with Reeves; many embrace the chance, while others may find themselves overwhelmed by the encounter.

However, the on-screen romance presented its unique challenge, an age gap of approximately two decades that made their intimate scenes anything but effortless.

The film showed Reeves in the role of a doctor engaged in a passionate relationship with Keaton’s character. While their on-screen chemistry was real, it wasn’t until two years after the movie’s release that rumors of a real-life romance between the two stars began to surface. 

Despite the undeniable connection they shared, the 77-year-old openly admitted to finding the experience of kissing Reeves embarrassing. She shared,

“Yuck, it feels all wrong to me. It’s like being with your son to me, not appealing. God bless every woman who has a younger man but … no! Kissing Keanu in the movie was really fun but horribly embarrassing.”

While speculation swirled about their offscreen involvement, neither Reeves nor Keaton officially confirmed or denied their rumored relationship.
