“The Matrix changed my life,” he said after a brief moment. “And then, over these years, it’s changed so many other people’s lives in really positive and great ways.”

“As an artist, you hope for that when you get to do a film or tell a story,” he continued.

“And so when you say these years and the amount of people I’ve met who have said to me and been touched by The Matrix in such a positive way… it’s the best.”

Keanu, who played Neo in The Matrix previously returned to play the character in 2021’s The Matrix Resurrections.
