Sandra Bullock is reminiscing about a thoughtful act by her friend and former co-star Keanu Reeves. The two actors, both 57, first met on the set of the 1994 film Speed and have remained close friends ever since.
Bullock shared a heartwarming story with Esquire about a time when Reeves showed up at her doorstep with a surprise gift. It all started when Bullock mentioned to Reeves that she had never tried Champagne and truffles. Reeves asked if she was serious, and Bullock replied that she hadn’t. The conversation seemed to end there, but Reeves had other plans.
A few days later, Bullock was at home painting her nails with her roommate when Reeves pulled up on his motorcycle. He rang the doorbell, and Bullock was surprised to find him standing there with flowers, Champagne, and truffles. Reeves explained that he wanted her to try the luxurious treats, and Bullock was touched by his thoughtful gesture.
As they sat on the couch, Bullock even painted Reeves’ nails black, the same color she was using for her own. The moment was a testament to their easygoing and playful friendship. Bullock praised Reeves for being a good listener, saying that he has a unique ability to pay attention to details and follow through on his thoughts.
Bullock recalled that Reeves didn’t stay long that day, as he had a date to attend. However, his kind gesture left a lasting impression on her. She noted that Reeves’ listening skills are rare and can sometimes drive people crazy. Bullock also acknowledged that she and Reeves could have made a good couple, but they never pursued a romantic relationship.
Instead, they have maintained a strong and supportive friendship over the years. Bullock expressed her admiration for Reeves, saying that he is a unique and special person who has a way of making everyone feel valued and appreciated.
