Halle Berry knows better than most about the exceptional action skills of Keanu Reeves. While movie-goers the world over have been impressed by his moves watching the John Wick films, she got to watch him do his thing in person playing Sofia Al-Azwar in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. So when she says “no lies told” when someone makes the claim that Reeves wasn’t “pretending” while starring in the beloved franchise, he word carries weight.

The above went down recently on social media as a behind-the-scenes video from the making of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum went viral. In the clip (which features Halle Berry in the background), viewers watch Keanu Reeves do a bit of firearm training with a variety of weapons – all while maintaining the professional stoicism of his character. You can check out Berry’s post with the video embedded below:

As an actor and public figure, Keanu Reeves has a reputation as a sweet and humble man who has a deep and oft-expressed appreciation for what he gets to do for a living… but if he has a gun in his hand, nobody should be under the impression that he doesn’t know how to use it just because he’s an actor. Not every shot he takes during this exercise makes direct contact with its target, but an exceptionally high percentage of them do, and the speed at which he moves is impressive.

As for Halle Berry, she is keeping her own post-John Wick action skills fresh, as she is presently attached to star alongside Angelina Jolie (an action movie veteran in her own right) in Maude v Maude. The project has been in the works at Warner Bros since last spring, and both Berry and Jolie are attached as producers.
