- Keanu Reeves said in a Reddit AMA that "The Matrix" directors gave him the red pill from the movie.
- In the movie, the pill allows Reeves' character to discover the truth about his world.
- Reeves said he was also given a sword from "47 Ronin" and a watch and wedding ring from "John Wick."
Keanu Reeves said "The Matrix" directors gifted him the red pill after he starred in the iconic movie.
Early on in the 1999 sci-fi movie, directed by Lilly and Lana Wachowski, Neo (played by Reeves) tries to discover why the name "The Matrix" keeps popping up online. He eventually meets Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), who gives the lead character a choice: take the blue pill and return to his ordinary life, forgetting all the weird encounters he has had, or take the red pill and learn the truth about "The Matrix."
Neo takes the red pill and thus discovers that his world is actually a simulated reality.
During a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Saturday to promote his new movie "John Wick: Chapter 4," the actor was asked if he has ever stolen any props from the sets of his films.
