Keanu Reeves gifts his movie stunt crew with personalized Rolex watches
Behind every good action movie is a fantastic stunt team. Stunt performers are underappreciated cornerstones of the movie industry, and it can’t be stated enough how little credit they get.
Keanu Reeves, the internet’s favorite man, wrapped up filming of John Wick 4 and thanked his stunt crew with gifts.

The story of John Wick began in 2014, and it’s crazy how far the series has come. Keanu is as big a star as he was back in the day now, and he even says he’ll do as many John Wick films as people want.
Now, Keanu is returning to the big screen again in 2023. This time, he’s brought along Donnie Yen for the ride. We saw Yen in the famous Ip Man action films, and as Chirrut Imwe in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
After filming ended, Keanu gifted some fancy Rolex watches to members of his stunt crew.

It’s an action movie, after all. And action calls for stunts. Those stunts can often be very dangerous and precise.
Stunt performers go above and beyond to make our films as entertaining as they are.

We all know the names Chris Hemsworth, Brie Larson, and Chris Evans. But how many people know of Bobby Holland, Joanna Bennett, or Daniel Hargrave?
Even with the safety precautions and training, accidents can still happen. Olivia Jackson was left permanently disabled after a motorcycle accident on the set of Resident Evil, and it was thanks to negligent planning from the studio.
So to find a star who gives stunt performers the credit they deserve is a wonderful thing.

Those watches he gave them? They were personalized Rolex Submariner watches. Each one costs almost $10,000.
Each watch had a special message engraved on it. Letters spelling “The John Wick Five” were engraved underneath.

The members of the stunt team were Jeremy Marinas, Bruce Concepcion, Li Qiang, and Dave Camarillo.
I’ll take a guess that the fifth member of the John Wick Five is Keanu Reeves himself.
Keanu Reeves has a long history of giving back to the people he cares about.

When his iconic Matrix Trilogy hit it big, Keanu gave away about 80 million dollars of the money he made from it.
“Money is the last thing I think about. I could live on what I’ve already made for the next few centuries.” he once said
It must be a joy to know Keanu Reeves. Every thing we learn about him just makes him seem even cooler than before.
One generation knew him as Neo, and another knows him as John Wick.

And let’s not forget his famous role in the video game Cyberpunk 2077, which led to his famous “You’re breathtaking” moment that we all remember.
Keanu Reeves has a lot to be thankful for, so it’s only natural that he likes giving back.
I can’t wait to see what he has in store for us in John Wick Chapter 4.
