Keanu Reeves cannot be accused of not putting in the hours for the third installment of his hyper-violent John Wick action series, as new footage shows the level of detail in his training.


Videos released by security training company Vigilance Elite show Reeves being coached by a former US Navy Seal as he simulates entering and clearing rooms armed with a pistol and an assault rifle.

Watch them in action here.

Shawn Ryan, a former CIA contractor who founded Vigilance Elite, teaches Reeves about handling weapons and tactics as the pair work through a gun range full of targets and barriers.

The John Wick films see Reeves play a former assassin who returns to the criminal underworld after gangsters steal his car and kill his dog.

According to his website, Ryan fought against al Qaida, the Taliban and the Islamic State group before founding Vigilant Elite to train:

“those who want to learn to defend themselves and their families against imminent threats."

The videos also give an insight into the mindset of the training.

Showing Reeves how to deal with an unexpected individual when entering a room, Ryan says:

“Maybe it's an innocent who doesn't need to be shot, maybe I can strike and get them out of the way."

Fans were overjoyed to see Reeves take the training seriously.

Said one:

“So much respect for Keanu Reeves for actually putting in the work to make us gun owners and shooters happy with his movies for trying to make stuff legit and real looking."

Another added:

“I love how he listens and doesn't talk your head off… great student. He's a rare bird in Hollywood.. love that guy! Zero ego; all business! Can't wait for JW3!"

A similar video emerged in 2016 during the production of John Wick 2, which saw Reeves working quickly through a range, using an assault rifle and shotgun to take out his targets.

People Who Smashed Wedding Cake In Their Spouse's Face Reveal How Their Relationship Is Going Now

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.

This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.

U.S. Army Vet Goes Viral With Blistering Speech Ripping Trump For Deploying Troops To L.A.

A U.S. Army veteran went viral after she spoke out to encourage other current and former military members to publicly condemn President Donald Trump for using them as "pawns" to suit his own ends after he deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests against his administration's immigration raids.

Trump has activated over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines, despite opposition from city and state leaders. He has painted a bleak picture of Los Angeles—claims that Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom say are wildly exaggerated.

Trump Dragged After Hilariously Flubbing Insult About Biden's Mental Acuity

The term malaphor means when two or more colloquial phrases or idioms get confused and combined to create something nonsensical. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), malaphors are a common symptom of frontotemporal dementia or other cognitive impairments.

So when a person seeks to accuse someone of being unintelligent, their use of malaphors is ironic and possibly very telling—narcissists will always accuse others of their own faults and failures.
