Reeves has been in the entertainment industry for over three decades and has starred in some of the most iconic movies of all time. From his breakout role as Ted Logan in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure to his current portrayal of John Wick, he has proven time and again that he is a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood.

Additionally, Reeves is a bit fearless when it comes to his stunts. Reeves is known for doing as many of his own action scenes as possible. When he was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Reeves revealed that, while filming The Matrix: Resurrections, he jumped off a building “around 19, 20 times” in order to get the shot right. He estimated that the building was around 46 stories high.

The actor is quick to correct someone when they say he does his own stunts. He will say that he does the action and the stuntmen do the really dangerous scenes. However, Reeves is only human. He does have one fear, and that is failure.

During an interview with ET Canada, Reeves revealed that he is afraid of failure. He said, “I am afraid of failure, especially with John Wick. The director, Chad Stahelski, has such a high bar and such a vision and I don’t want to let him down.”

It’s hard to imagine that a man who does his own action scenes would be afraid of anything, but fear of failure is something that a lot of people can relate to. In the end, Reeves really has nothing to worry about. He has turned in many stellar performances, and there is no reason to believe that his performance in the latest installment of the franchise is going to be any different.
