When Keanu Reeves’s representatives were initially asked if he was interested in participating in the comedy “Keanu,” which features a kitten nаmed after him, they politely declined. 

However, after Keanu’s sister saw the trailer, she urged him to get involved. Director Peter Atencio told the Los Angeles Times, “Apparently, his sister showed him the trailer and said, ‘Hey, you gotta see this.

 At the time, Keanu was in Italy filming “John Wick 2,” so he recorded his lines for the kitten from a studio in Rome. The rest is hiss-tory. Read the full interview with Atencio here
