In the 1994 action movie “Speed,” Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock shared intense on-screen chemistry, but little did they know at the time that they had mutual crushes on each other. The revelation came to light on “Ellen” when Bullock admitted to finding Reeves sweet and handsome during the filming of “Speed.”
On the talk show, Bullock expressed her feelings, saying, “I think about how sweet Keanu Reeves was, and how handsome he was. It was hard, it was really hard for me to be serious.” When asked if they had ever dated, she humorously suggested, “Never dated. I guess there was something about me he didn’t like!”
Reeves, who appeared surprised by Bullock’s revelation, confessed that he had no idea about her crush. However, he added a surprising twist by sharing his own secret, saying, “She obviously didn’t know I had a crush on her, either.” When questioned about why they didn’t pursue a romantic connection, he responded with a simple, “We were working!”
While the two didn’t explore a romantic relationship during the filming of “Speed,” they later collaborated on the romantic fantasy film “The Lake House” in 2006. The revelation of their mutual crushes adds an intriguing layer to their on-screen chemistry in “Speed” and provides fans with a fun behind-the-scenes tidbit about the film.
