Before becoming one of Hollywood's most iconic leading men, Keanu Reeves had a much humbler start. In a recent segment for PEOPLE, where the cast Keanu Reeves and Aziz Ansari of the upcoming film 'Good Fortune' interviewed one another, Reeves revealed that he worked in landscaping before his acting career took off.

As a young man, he spent his days pushing a lawnmower, clearing trees, and occasionally handling a chainsaw. Despite the physically demanding work, Reeves described the experience as enjoyable.

What is Keanu Reeves's 'Good Fortune' About?

In 'Good Fortune,' Keanu Reeves stars alongside Aziz Ansari, Seth Rogen, Keke Palmer, and Sandra Oh. The film centres on Gabriel, a well-meaning but somewhat clumsy angel, who intervenes in the lives of a struggling gig worker played by Ansari and a wealthy venture capitalist portrayed by Rogen. The movie blends comedy and heart, showcasing Reeves in a charmingly unconventional role.

While filming, Keanu Reeves also endured some physically challenging scenes. He recounted suffering a knee injury during a cold plunge scene with Ansari and Rogen. While performing what he called a "cold shuffle," his foot got caught on the protective carpeting, causing him to fall and crack his kneecap in the process. Despite the injury, Reeves remained committed to the scene, demonstrating the same resilience and dedication that have characterised his long career.
