“He’s not good on talk shows”: Rosie O'Donnell admits Keanu Reeves was the worst guest she interviewed

Rosie O'Donnell recently revealed on a talk show that Keanu Reeves is one of the worst guests she has interviewed.

Remembering her time on the Rosie O'Donnell Show during an episode of Sam Pang Tonight on October 14, the former talk show host admitted that though she loves Keanu Reeves as a person, he is not a good guest to interview on talk shows.

“I love the guy, but he's not good on talk shows.” Rosie O'Donell said.

She recalled that Reaves was not able to answer a single question during a 1997 interview. Rosie O'Donnell also mentioned that he is very sweet and looks extremely gorgeous, but wouldn't answer a single question properly.

"So, Keanu, how are things going? "How do you feel?" she remembered. His answer? "Good."

"We were in real time. We were unable to re-record," Rosie clarified. After about three minutes, I said, "You know, Keanu, it's a talk show." You must speak.

After the initial interview, things became a little smoother and Keanu Reaves started getting the hang of it.

“He’s a lovely man and a good-hearted guy.” O'Donell said." So I don’t wanna throw him under the bus.”

For the unversed, Reeves appeared on O'Donnell's talk show to discuss his movie The Devil's Advocate.

When he didn't immediately answer Rosie's inquiries regarding costarring with Al Pacino, she made a lighthearted remark,

"Sorry you know, but it's a talk show, we gotta ask questions."

The former cast member of John Wick told O'Donnell that he avoids making many TV appearances because "I'm not comfortable with them."

Previously, Keanu Reeves has mentioned that he is an introvert and prefers to keep things to himself.

"I came to Hollywood to be in movies. I feel really grateful that I've had that opportunity, but I'm just a private person, and it's nice that can still exist." Reaves told Parade Magazine during an 2019 interview.
