I assume doing this interview has been a torturous experience for him, so as we get up to leave I ask how he would have preferred to spend the afternoon, in a dream scenario.
And, reader, I giggled. Please update your payment details to keep enjoying your Irish Times subscription. Hadley Freeman.

You want that connection, and then you want some problems. I've been pleased to work with so many wonderful stars through the years. This has been an amazing journey. I hope it continues. I am not handsome or sexy. Of course, it's not like I am hopeless. I don't know the law, the kind of law of quantity and quality, but I think the opportunity of people being able to express themselves and to have the means of production is a great thing.
It's also changing how we're telling stories. People were saying that David Geffen and I had gotten married and it just blew me away. Not that they thought I was gay, but that they thought I could land a guy that hot. It's the journey of self, I guess. You start with this kind of loner, outside guy, which a lot of people can relate to, and he goes out into the world. I mean, if you didn't get it or if you didn't feel like you enjoyed it, sometimes that experience can change. They made a cereal out of it, so once you've had a cereal, it doesn't get much more surreal than that.
Surreal cereal. I have definitely been curious and involved in the process; even as a young actor. I was always looking at where the camera was, what story it was telling. And as my experience grew, I wanted to know even more. You know what, I'd done an interview show when I was like 16 or One of my first jobs. I did interviews for this television show in Toronto. Letters are something from you.
It's a different kind of intention than writing an e-mail. And of course to work with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton, and work with a wonderful, beautiful script directed by Nancy Meyers, it was really for me a dream come true.
But, you know, it's still a drag to get your picture taken when you're eating a sandwich. It's a downer. When we talk about how movies used to be made, it was over years of film, literal, physical film, with emulsion, that we would expose to light and we would get pictures. On a good night, I get underwear, bras, and hotel-room keys thrown onstage You start to think that you're Tom Jones. I do think there must be some kind of interaction between your living life and the life that goes on from here.
It's fun to be hopelessly in love. It's dangerous, but it's fun. Falling in love and having a relationship are two different things. I think the form, the Hollywood movie, I think the quality is obviously always going to be there and I think that the question of taste, there's always a question of taste. I think - I don't know, maybe it's nostalgia. But the choice, losing the choice to be able to use film is going to be - it's gone. It's going to be gone. I mean, I went to a Catholic boys' school for a year, but that was to play hockey.
Religion class was quite contentious for me. I try not to think about my life. I have no life. I need therapy. Because we're actors we can pretend and fake it, but I'd rather the intimate investment was authentic. Artists are losing the choice to use film. People have a love for it - the grain, how it feels, the texture. The truth is often terrifying, which I think is one of the motifs of Larry and Andrew's cinema. The cost of knowledge is an important theme.
In the second and third films, they explore the consequences of Neo's choice to know the truth. It's a beautiful, beautiful story. I have a producing partner named Stephen Hamel, and we've been trying to generate material. I just felt that if I went into Speed 2, I just Kissing someone is pretty intimate, actually very intimate, and your heart always kind of skips a beat before you do that.
Then you get critiqued by the critics. The whole aspect of cinema and film festivals should be a moment to come together and celebrate art and humanity. It would be a shame if there was such a divide. Energy can't be created or destroyed, and energy flows. It must be in a direction, with some kind of internal, emotive, spiritual direction. It must have some effect somewhere. I was always interested - I mean, it's kind of part of your job - I was always interested in the camera.
Sometimes when you make a film you can go away for three months and then come back and live your life. But this struck a much deeper chord. I don't have the ability yet to speak about it in an objective. But I think we're also just talking about the literacy of the audience. The visual literacy of the audience.
They've seen so many images now, especially here in the States. There's so much to look at, to watch. So the visual storytelling literacy is harder to impress.
I had the classic 40 meltdown. I did. It's embarrassing. It was pretty funny. But then I recovered. To me, it was like a second adolescence. Hormonally, my body was changing, my mind was changing, and so my relationship to myself and the world around me came to this assault of finiteness.
Known for its innovative fight sequences, avant-garde special effects and gorgeous fashion, The Matrix was an international hit. Two sequels were filmed together and released in to a more mixed reception, though the second installment, The M atrix Reloaded, was a bigger financial blockbuster than its predecessor. In summer , 16 years after the release of The Matrix Reloaded , it was announced that a fourth film in the franchise was in the works, with Reeves set to return as Neo.
The following decade saw the actor making his directorial debut with Man of Tai Chi Martial arts—based themes continued in Reeves' next feature, the widely panned 47 Ronin , which was followed in by the more critically well-received John Wick , co-starring Willem Dafoe and John Leguizamo and its sequel John Wick: Chapter 2 After co-starring with Winona Ryder in the rom-com Destination Wedding , Reeves faced a busy with the release of the sci-fi thriller Replicas ; a return to action fare in John Wick 3: Parabellum ; a supporting role in the Netflix rom-com Always Be My Maybe and his entry into a major animated franchise as the voice of stuntman Duke Caboom in Toy Story 4.
The loss of their daughter devastated the couple and caused the end of their relationship. Two years later, Jennifer was involved in a fatal car accident where she rammed into three cars and was thrown out of her vehicle.
