Octavia Spencer “cried” when Keanu Reeves wished her a happy birthday.
The 50-year-old actress reached her milestone birthday in May, but didn’t get to spend her special day how she had planned — with multiple dinners and a retreat to Hawaii — because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Instead, Octavia received special, star-studded tribute videos from close friends and past co-stars, including one message from Keanu Reeves which moved her to tears because she was so “surprised”.
She recalled during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!: Chris Evans is a dear friend. Katy Perry is a dear friend.
Then Keanu Reeves, you know like, surprised me. Of course I started crying like a baby, like, ‘Keanu!’ It was so fabulous. He’s somebody I like and my friends know that and it was like the sweetest thing.
The Hidden Figures star previously revealed Keanu was one of the first people she met when she moved from Alabama to Los Angeles to pursue acting.
