Keanu Reeves' Reaction To Jonathan Groff Caressing Him Has The Internet Screaming

Things got real up close and personal between Keanu Reeves and Jonathan Groff at the 78th Annual Tony Awards, and the internet is relishing in the moment.

During the ceremony at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday evening, Groff suddenly exited the stage to approach the crowd while performing his “Just In Time” musical number.

In a totally unexpected move, the “Matrix Resurrections” star leaped onto the armrests of former co-star Reeves’ chair and caressed his face and chest, prompting the crowd to laugh and applaud in response to the cheeky moment.

As Groff stroked Reeves’ face, the “John Wick” star reacted with a shocked look as he held his hands up. While Groff continued singing, Reeves then lifted up his hands to do a rock ’n’ roll hand gesture in front of the camera as the crowd continued cheering over the pair’s interaction.

Social media users on X, formerly Twitter, celebrated the hilarious moment online.
