Keanu Reeves and Drew Barrymore share a friendship that has managed to overcome enormous difficulties.
The interpreter of Neo in the Matrix franchise and Drew Barrymore have been friends since they recorded the film The World of Toys (1986); a friendship that has lasted more than 30 years.
Within the film, both actors played the role of each other's love interest, but in reality, they became inseparable friends during the 1980s and 1990s. Their friendship was so strong that, at some point, Drew Barrymore managed to help with his personal problems.
The actress began her professional career in the film industry at a very young age, with the ET tape (1982) at just seven years old. Despite her successful future as an actress, Drew suffered from various problems related to substance abuse.
In various interviews with the US media, Drew has recalled that much of what she experienced in the additions was a way of revealing herself due to the situation in which she found herself. Her mother abandoned her at a very young age and drug abuse would spread to the film sets she was working on at the time.
In an interview on his program, The Drew Barrymore Show, Reeves participated in which he promoted the fourth installment of The Matrix. The person behind the John Wick character spoke about the rebellion Drew felt back then; “rebellion is good, it is a way of reflection. What matters is the intention you give to that rebellion.”
An unforgettable motorcycle ride
On December 21, the actress revealed a moment that both stars shared many years ago.
Within a broadcast of The Drew Barrymore Show, the actress had Keanu Reeves as her main guest to remember the moments they both lived together during the nineties; specifically a very important memory for Drew.
“I remember I was in a club celebrating my 16th birthday, but you came and asked me to come with you.” Barrymore recounted that the actor offered him a ride on his motorcycle that left him one of the most important memories of him.
“You took me on the journey of my life, I have never felt so free in my life,” she told Drew to Reeves and commented that this is one of her favorite moments because she made him feel love for life. She concluded with the thought “The older I get, the harder it is for me to feel this way.”
Keanu was proud to have remembered that moment since both actors continue to maintain their friendship that has managed to overcome the difficulties that life can present.
