“I’ve been what? I didn’t know that… That’s wacky. The positivity is great. It’s really special how [Always Be My Maybe and John Wick 3] have been embraced.”

With his sterling act in soon-to-be-released animation film, “Toy Story 4,” Reeves is sure to add on even more fans, especially of the female sex. He is the voice of a toy stuntman who rides a motorcycle.

It was also at the film premiere that the “Constantine” actor proudly recalled voicing the toy and how most of the toy's charismatic poses and hilarious tendencies stemmed from his ideas.

Reeves excitedly termed the character a “showman” and a “daredevil,” who also had a lot of Pixar’s signature emotion. According to Reeves:

“They took some of the physicality that I was talking about for the character and doing the poses. I think it’s really remarkable how Pixar and the directors kind of do the physical comedy, the emotion, and so for me, I was really happy with what they did with Duke Caboom.”
