Keanu Reeves Reveals His Candid Advice for Aspiring Actors

Watch: Keanu Reeves Reveals His Candid Advice for Aspiring ActorsKeanu Reeves sure gives some wick-ed good advice. After more than 30 years working in Hollywood, including rising to fame in his early 20s, the John Wick star is well-equipped to dole out words of wisdom to anyone also looking for their big break. And he didn’t mince words when sharing his candid take.

“Try not to be a f--king a--hole,” Keanu exclusively told E! News’ Will Marfuggi during a joint interview with his Outcome costars Cameron Diaz and Matt Bomer.

“And go to work and respect who you’re working with until they prove they don’t get your respect.” Cameron couldn’t help but agree, noting it’s advice that rings true beyond the film industry. As she quipped, ”

Yeah. That’s life.” And looking back on her own experience in Hollywood, the Charlie’s Angels actress emphasized “there’s no handbook or manual on being famous.”

“You gotta just make it your own—you don’t know what it’s gonna be,” she explained.

“Also, there’s reaching out to other people that you admire, the way that they do it and asking them for some advice.””readJonah Hill Is Unrecognizable With Bald Head for Outcome Role TransformationThough the trio’s movie follows actor Reef Hawke (Keanu) who is being forced to make amends for his wrongdoings as part of a blackmail plot, it actually has some helpful takeaways on building a community in the competitive industry.

The Jonah Hill-directed film—which is available to stream on April 10 on Apple TV—marked a reunion for Cameron and Keanu, who played love interests in the 1996 film Feeling Minnesota. And this time around, the There's Something About Mary star explained that she felt far more confident filming with Keanu.

Marc Patrick/BFA.com/Shutterstock“Well it wasn’t my fourth film, so I felt a little bit more capable and experienced than I did back then,” she explained. “But I’m just so honored to get to work with Keanu as I did 30 years ago. Just to be able to do it again now, I’m really grateful.” She continued, “He’s the same generous, present, such a good human—nothing’s changed in that way.”

For his part, reuniting with Cameron felt “the same” as it did in the nineties. “It was just kinda like, ‘Let’s go to work, let’s play, let’s do whatever we’re doing as best as we can,’” he told Cameron. “I felt like, whether it’s your fourth film or not, the artist is there.”
