Keanu Reeves shocked the film industry yesterday when he turned down a $1 billion movie role alongside Robert De Niro. Sources close to the actor revealed that Reeves was hesitant to work with De Niro due to his “woke” rants and shouting fits on set.

Keanu values his peace and calm, and didn’t want to compromise that for any amount of money,” an insider explained. “He’s had experiences with difficult actors before, and didn’t want to repeat that with De Niro.”

The film, a highly anticipated action-thriller, was set to begin production next month. De Niro was reportedly “furious” when he heard the news, but Reeves remains unfazed

Keanu is a true professional and doesn’t let drama get in the way of his work,” the insider added. “He wishes the film all the best, but knows this decision is for the best.”

Reeves’ decision has sparked a heated debate in Hollywood, with some praising his commitment to his values and others criticizing his choice.

“Keanu is missing out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” a film critic argued. “De Niro is a legend, and working with him would have elevated Keanu’s career.”

However, others have expressed support for Reeves’ stance.

“Keanu’s prioritizing his well-being and that’s something to be admired,” a fan tweeted. “He’s a true role model for standing up for what he believes in.”

As the news continues to make waves in the film industry, one thing is certain – Keanu Reeves is a man of principle, and won’t compromise his values for any price.
