Bullock’s initial foray back into her celebrity life was also a return to one of her comfort zones. She (remotely) joined Keanu Reeves on a May 2024 episode of the 50 MPH podcast—a series dedicated entirely to the making of Speed—in honor of the action classic’s 30th anniversary.
At that early point in her post-Love Potion No. 9, pre-superstardom career, “I was just grateful and excited to be with who I was with, and I just adored, and still adore, Keanu,” Bullock shared. “We didn’t think it would do what it did, but I didn’t know any better at that time, either. I wasn’t in control of my career. I was in control—well, of a steering wheel, but I wasn’t in control of that bus! I was just along for the ride, you know?”
Reeves skipped the less warmly received Speed 2: Cruise Control in 1997, but he and Bullock reteamed for 2006’s The Lake House. And feel free to let your hope that they’ll work together again float.
