Keanu's response to the Matrix question was so profound and heartfelt that Colbert didn't need to proceed with a John Wick question. Wrapped it up right then and there. Great moment.

@2:03 I still remember the last time Keanu made me cry by responding to one of Stephen's questions. It was when Stephen asked, "What happens to us when we die?" And, after taking a breath, Keanu said, "We will be missed by those who loved us the most." This guy takes "sincerity" to a higher level. Props to Keanu. Live long and prosper in good health, dude.

That really got me. So moving. As for the movie itself, to this day The Matrix is still the most mind-blowing experience I've ever had in a theatre!

[misterderp]

What a real dude. There's a reason everyone loves him.

[SuperWilkat]

He always mentions others before himself. A true gentle soul ❤

[fashioncat]

The answer, his face, his body language, how he changed his emotion so fast just gave me chills and I cried. He knows the truth. 😢

[tktoadE]

I appreciate your authentic, heartfelt, eloquence Keanu!

[PanickedTato]

To this day, The Matrix remains my favorite movie of all time. Full stop. It's amazing to see him get so emotional when he talks about it.

[garycpriestley]

Do well all simply want to burst into tears when he emotionally recounts how The Matrix has touched people....😭

[rikkiechambers]

The absolute sincerity in His voice and the body language to match .. that is the true definition of humility and grace . I’ll say it again this man has the most amazing soul . And I’ve never seen more than clips of his work .. only interviews over the years . I would still love to just sit and talk to him for as long as he would stay .. the draw is very real .

2:07 I'm not crying. You're crying. I love this man

[iwjflpx]

No one can NOT love this man. He needs to be known by everyone in the world... He makes me proud to be Canadian.

[zemqksc]

Probably the most genuine and sincere person in this world.

[AGoodVibe]

Notice how Colbert had the wisdom in the moment to end the interview right there. He’s a total professional, and Keanu is a legend

[hcoaccount]

🥲He almost made me cry, that was a raw emotional sincere comment he made - just beautiful. I love this man GOD bless him and his soul

[grahamhowlett]

I've watched all types of films over nearly 50 years and The Matrix is my number 1.

[BlakieTT]

It's 4:22am and I'm being greatly moved by this beautiful man - himself swayed by the impact his film(s) have had...
😭😭😭♥

[TroysSweetCornhole]

One of those dudes that just ages gracefully

[SouljahUK]

How much I wish other celebrities were like Keanu! ❤💯

[davidmsirois]

So telling... his memories are the people and their goodness... and then The Matrix stops him dead... and of course says the most profound touching thing... love Keanu.
