“Like a potato chip” broke his kneecap – but Keanu Reeves could not be stopped.
Actor Keanu Reeves broke the kneecap on the film set last year. And not in an action film, but in a comedy. The accident happened to him during the filming of the new movie “Good Fortune – a very special guardian angel”.

Keanu Reeves had injury to the kneecap: “Broke like a potato chip”
In an interview with the industry magazine “The Hollywood Reporter”, Reeves says: “My knee plate is broken vertically, like a potato chip. When the pain became stronger, I only thought: ‘Oh, damn. That is not good. That is pretty bad.'” The matter was probably quite bloody.
As early as July 2024, Reeves had told the knee injury. Opposite the “Late Show with Stephen Colbert” said He, he was shrinked by a room in which protective carpets were laid out. There he got stuck, his knee failed and he fell directly to it. “Comedy is tough, man,” he joked.

But he continued
Director Aziz Ansari was also involved in the interview and was happy about Reeves’ perseverance, who continued to work on the film after his accident. “Keanu could just have said: ‘Hey man, I’m so sorry. I’m out.'”
The film “Good Fortune – a very special guardian angel” revolves around the good -natured but awkward guardian angel Gabriel, played by Reeves, who feels a higher profession, but creates a lot of chaos. The work celebrates its premiere on September 6th at the Toronto International Film Festival 2025, just a few weeks before the German cinema release on October 16.
