While promoting The Lake House, Reeves and Bullock were asked how it was to reunite after co-starring in Speed over a decade ago. Calling it an exciting experience, Reeves said, “You have great trust and comfort, which is nice to have going into something, and it was exciting.” He added, “I’ve said it before, but I enjoyed the first and second days where we worked together,” noting it was “the dance sequence.” The actor added, “And then the first kind of kiss—that was the most memorable film day for me.”
The memorable moment for Reeves also won him and Bullock the Teen Choice Award for “Choice Lip lock” in 2006. When asked if the two would recreate their iconic lip kiss, Bullock tried to get away with her politically correct answer, saying, “You say, ‘Do it again.’ But I’m a married woman now. It’s true. You have to understand… Hot kisses… and warm and tight, like that, I can’t do anymore.”
Keanu asked her, “Sandy? Weren’t you married when we did that kiss?” to which Bullock jokingly replied, “I’m in so much trouble right now.”
Both Keanu and Sandra revealed that they had crushes on each other on The Ellen DeGeneres show, but in different episodes. In 2018, Bullock admitted that she had a crush on Reeves when they co-starred in Speed. When Ellen showed him the clip of Bullock’s confession in 2019, Keanu replied, “She didn’t know I had a crush on her, either.”
When asked why they did not translate their feelings into a romance, Reeves said that they were professionals who were working to deliver a goal, adding, “She’s such a wonderful person, such a wonderful actress.”
Keanu Reeves has been dating visual artist Alexandra Grant since 2019, while Sandra Bullock was married to Jesse James from 2005–2010.
