Despite his surprise, Smith made it clear he’s one of Reeves’ biggest fans.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love Keanu Reeves. Keanu Reeves, what a movie star,\u201d Smith said. “Wow. He just looks like an angel. He has something, you know what I mean? Like if you were to get a guardian angel in life, please God, let it be Keanu Reeves.\u201d<\/p>\n
The revelation that Reeves had chosen Morbius<\/em> as his in-flight entertainment only made Smith more incredulous.<\/p>\n\n\n![\"Matt](\"https:\/\/hermes.media.static.aol.com\/media\/2026\/07\/03\/11e4a87c-39ef-3497-b3b6-7f2a995f014c\/f56fc9e1-381b-4a63-873c-99984b4bc70a.jpg\"\/)

\u201cI genuinely think that that period of movies, that sort of \u201890s period of films, I just love,\u201d he admitted. \u201cFrom Point Break<\/a><\/em> onwards.

When the interviewer suggested Reeves may have been drinking, Smith doubled down on the joke.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was drunk,\u201d Broski joked.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, was he?\u201d Smith said, playing along. \u201cHe was having a moment. He’s on the Valium or something.\u201d<\/p>\n
Smith immediately clarified that the comments came from a place of admiration. \u201cNo, but what a legend,\u201d he said. \u201cI love Keanu Reeves. I just want to make that really clear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m really boring on flights,\u201d he explained. \u201cI tend to watch stuff that I can fall asleep to or I’ll watch like reruns of <\/a>The Office<\/a><\/em>. I’m one of those guys that likes to fall asleep to something. Is that weird?\u201d<\/p>\nHe added that he also enjoys revisiting the beloved British comedies starring Steve Coogan as the fictional radio and TV host Alan Partridge while traveling.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’ll watch a lot of Alan Partridge,\u201d said Smith. \u201cI don’t know if you’ve ever watched Alan Partridge. I think it’s the greatest single British character that’s been created in the last 30 years. Please watch it. It’s amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
