BBC The Graham Norton Show: Keanu Reeves' surprise at finding out he may actually be married to Hollywood star

BBC The Graham Norton Show Keanu Reeves surprise at finding out he may actually be married to Hollywood star
The star may have a secret spouse!

Keanu Reeves is one of the few actors to have aged like fine wine - with a glowing reputation of being one of the "nice guys" after many years in a very competitive industry.

Since bursting onto the scene in the early 90s with Point Break and Speed, the Matrix star has been ever-present in Hollywood with hit after hit.

Throughout that time he has tended to keep his private life just that, but recently in a light-hearted moment Keanu, 57, was forced to admit that he and another huge Hollywood star may have been secretly married for decades.

Keanu's first partner Jennifer Syme, who he dated on and off from 1998 to 2001, was tragically killed in a car accident in Los Angeles with Keanu acting as a pallbearer at her funeral.

The actor is currently in a relationship with artist Alexandra Grant, who he met at a dinner party in 2009, and the pair have since written two books together but only announced their relationship to the world in 2018.

But since 2018 rumours have been swirling that Reeves is actually married to another Hollywood star - Winona Ryder.

In 1992 she and Keanu were co-stars in Francis Ford Coppola's film Bram Stoker's Dracula.

In that movie, the pair shared a wedding scene which Coppola led. Winona has claimed the ceremony was actually real and legally binding.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly in 2018 she said: "We actually got married in Dracula. No, I swear to God, I think we’re married in real life.

"In that scene, Francis used a real Romanian priest, we shot the master and he did the whole thing. So I think we’re married."

Coppola backed this up, also in 2018, telling the Guardian: "In a sense when we were all done, we realised that Keanu and Winona really are married as a result of this scene and this ceremony."

In November this year, Keanu finally addressed the rumour, seeming to confirm it himself in an interview with Esquire

"We did a whole take of a marriage ceremony with real priests," he said.

“Winona says we are. Coppola says we are. So I guess we’re married under the eyes of God."

You can catch Keanu talk about reprising his role as Neo in The Matrix: Resurrections on BBC One's The Graham Norton Show at 10.35pm tonight.
