Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves shared a heartwarming reunion in New York on December 20, delighting fans of their iconic film “Speed.” The former co-stars, who have remained lifelong friends since their time working together, met backstage at the Broadway production of “Waiting for Godot” at the Hudson Theatre.
In photos captured by People, Bullock was seen sporting a chic black blazer, her hair styled in a loose side braid, with her eyeglasses resting on her head. Reeves complemented her look in a dark grey hoodie beneath a stylish velvet blazer. Witnesses noted Bullock’s warm and friendly demeanor towards everyone around her, and the chemistry between the two was palpable, as if time had stood still since they last worked together.
Reflecting on their history, the duo has previously confessed to having crushes on one another during the filming of the 1994 action classic, which also featured Dennis Hopper and Jeff Daniels. Bullock recalled her feelings during a 2018 appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” admitting that Reeves’ charm often left her giggling and flustered on set. When DeGeneres played a clip of this moment in a later interview, Reeves revealed he was unaware of Bullock’s feelings but also confessed to having a crush on her at the time.
Their reunion brings a sense of nostalgia for fans while underscoring the deep connection that has endured between the two Hollywood stars for decades. Their playful acknowledgment of their past crushes adds to the sweetness of their friendship, showcasing the happiness that can stem from longstanding collaborations in the film industry.
