“She’s Gone — But I Made a Promise I Can’t Break.” Keanu Reeves’ Tearful Tribute to Diane Keaton Sends Shockwaves Through Hollywood

Keanu Reeves Pays Tribute to Diane Keaton: “She Was a Very Special Artist and Person”

The two co-starred in Nancy Meyers’ 2003 rom-com ‘Something’s Gotta Give.’

Keanu Reeves is remembering Something’s Gotta Give co-star Diane Keaton following the news of her death on Saturday.

While premiering his new film Good Fortune in New York, Reeves reflected on their time together, telling The Hollywood Reporter, “I had the wonderful opportunity to work with her and she was a very special artist and person. Very unique and just what a wonderful artist.”

The two starred together in Nancy Meyers‘ 2003 rom-com, with Keaton’s playwright Erica Barry juggling the affections of both a charming young doctor (Reeves) and a wealthy record company owner (Jack Nicholson). Keaton was nominated for an Oscar for the role, and the pair also reunited as presenters at the 2020 Academy Awards.

Reeves’ comments come just a few hours after Meyers took to social media for her own tribute, writing on Instagram after the outpouring of reactions, “As a movie lover, I’m with you all — we have lost a giant. A brilliant actress who time and again laid herself bare to tell our stories. As a woman, I lost a friend of almost 40 years — at times over those years, she felt like a sister because we shared so many truly memorable experiences. As a filmmaker, I’ve lost a connection with an actress that one can only dream of.”Keanu Reeves pays tribute to 'very special' co-star Diane Keaton - Celebrity News - Entertainment - Daily Express US

The filmmaker also specifically referenced Something’s Gotta Give in her post, remembering, “When I needed her to cry in scene after scene in Something’s Gotta Give, she went at it hard and then somehow made it funny. And I remember she would sometimes spin in a kind of goofy circle before a take to purposely get herself off balance or whatever she needed to shed so she could be in the moment.”Keanu Reeves' Gorgeous Tribute to Diane Keaton Revealed

“She was fearless, she was like nobody ever, she was born to be a movie star, her laugh could make your day and for me, knowing her and working with her — changed my life,” Meyers continued. “Thank you Di. I’ll miss you forever.”

AMC Theatres is also bringing back Annie Hall and Something’s Gotta Give to 100 cinemas across the U.S. in Keaton’s honor.

“That woman deserves everything wonderful in the world, and I vow to use my future to prove it to her. Being with Cardi when our son was born, holding her hand tightly, I understood that even the loudest stadiums couldn’t compare to the moment my heart tightened and then burst with emotion upon hearing my son’s first cry. I was silent in that room because words were too small. All I could do was stay by her side: wipe away her tears, comfort her, let her grip my hand so tightly it left marks. She gave me the most priceless gift of my life, and at that moment, I vowed to myself that I would care for and protect her and our son until the very end. My football career has given me glory, but this moment is my greatest achievement. My home. My peace. My destiny.” Here’s everything Stefan Diggs said about Cardi B:
