These keanu posts are giving me whiplash

PLAYBOY: Hilary Swank played your wife and was the recipient of your brutality. How did it feel to summon that rage and bully a woman?

REEVES: A part of me was afraid of my violent side. Once Hilary and I were improvising in a trailer. I just kept saying "You're lying. You're lying. You're lying." We were rehearing this argument, and Sam said, "Every time you say, 'You're lying,' instead of saying it, just hit her." Hilary was like, "No, Donnie, I wasn't-" [makes slapping noise] "Donnie, I wasn't-" [slaps] Sam was like, "Grab her face." This went on until finally I pushed her up against the wall and started taking her pants off. I stopped, but it was very scary. It was like, "Oh shit. Okay. Now I get it. I get it." It was very frightening.

PLAYBOY: Did it help Swank prepare for her role in Million Dollar Baby?

REEVES: [Laughs] Yeah. And by the way, I also learned a bit of... well, that some of the ladies don't mind it, so... Nah, that's awful to say.

I mean he might not be perfect and he def should have thought about it before talking about that situation like that but I don't think either of these things make him a bad person or in need of being cancelled.

I feel like Playboy interviews prod and steer their interviews to be edgy and salacious, plus editing to fit their narrative. To me, it seems more like the director and the film writing were pushing him to a bad place. He didn't say he enjoyed it or that it was cool. The part that shocked me was that this is how actors work.

Omg have you heard how Anthony has a kid but just doesn't give a fuck about her. He just said families split up, get on with your life. And no idea if he has grandchildren. I was shocked to read that! I do enjoy Anthony's instagram though

Please tell me you follow him on insta it's very wholesome
