Alright, listen up, because this is a story that’s got Hollywood buzzing. Sandra Bullock, the one and only, has let slip that there’s one costar she’s desperate to reunite with on screen before her career wraps up. And guess who that might be? You got it—Keanu Reeves, the man who can do no wrong in our books.
Sandra Drops the Big Hint on a Potential Reunion
Now, here’s the scoop. Sandra, who’s currently 59 and still lighting up the screen, dropped this little nugget during a Monday, May 6, appearance on the “50 MPH Podcast.” This podcast, by the way, is all about the duo’s 1994 blockbuster hit, Speed. She said, and I quote, “Before I die, before I leave this planet, I do think that Keanu [Reeves] and I need to do something in front of the camera.” Can you feel the excitement in the air yet?
What Did Keanu Have to Say?
Well, Keanu, also 59, was right there with Sandra on the podcast. When the host, Kris Tapley, suggested they should really push for a third Speed movie, Sandra joked, “Are we, you know, in wheelchairs or with walkers? Maybe. Maybe.” But it wasn’t all laughs. Sandra turned to Keanu and asked, “What do you think, K? I mean, look, if someone writes something brilliant and it puts us in the right place and the right time.”

Keanu, ever the gentleman, responded with, “It does feel like it’s — there is a siren call to it.” But he didn’t stop there. He added, “I think I would love to work with you again before our eyes close. I think we’d freakin’ knock it out of the park.” Can we get an amen for that?
The History Behind Their On-Screen Chemistry
Now, let’s rewind a bit. While Keanu already had hits like Bill and Ted’s Big Adventure and Point Break under his belt, Speed was the movie that turned him into a major star. For Sandra, it was her breakout role. She said, “I just adored and still adore Keanu, and lightning doesn’t like to strike more than once.” And boy, did it strike with Speed. The movie grossed over $350 million at the box office. Who saw that coming?
Fans Wonder About Their Real-Life Relationship
Of course, fans have always been curious about whether Sandra and Keanu’s on-screen chemistry translated into real life. Sandra addressed this during an interview with Esquire in November 2021. She said, “Keanu’s a guy who, I feel like, is friends with every woman he’s ever dated. I don’t think there’s anyone who has something horrible to say about him. So maybe we could have survived [as a couple]. I don’t know.”
Interestingly, Sandra admitted to having a crush on Keanu during the filming of Speed on a December 2018 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. She joked about why they never dated, saying, “There’s just something about me that I guess he didn’t like.” But Keanu, during a May 2019 appearance on the same show, revealed he had a crush on her too. He said, “She obviously didn’t know I had a crush on her either. It was nice to go to work, she’s such a wonderful person and a wonderful actress.”
