Breaking News: Keanu Reeves Called Robert De Niro a ‘Grade A Jackass’ and Said, ‘I Won’t Work With Him’?…see more

Reeves has turned down more films than you might think, but he could have starred in one of the best movies ever if he wasn’t so much his own worst enemy sometimes.

But we guess that’s why he’s so much of an inspiration. He’s not a people pleaser, does his own thing, and makes up for what he thinks are bad decisions later.

Al Pacino was the actor that Reeves wanted to work with so badly that he took a pay cut to give the studios back some money to afford to cast the legend. The movie was Devil’s Advocate.

there could have been another ulterior motive behind the move, other than wanting to co-star with Pacino really badly. He could have taken the pay cut to make up for a missed opportunity.
