Keanu Reeves brought his heartthrob swagger to a surprise cameo Ali Wong and Randall Park’s Netflix romcom Always Be My Maybe, in which Reeves plays a parody version of himself who swoops in to date Wong’s character before Park’s character can get back with her.
Reeves is introduced in a scene where he enters the room in slo-mo, set to the song “Sail” by Awolnation. But would other songs have worked even better? Yes, as evidenced by a single-serving Twitter account called Keanu Reeves Walking To Music. The account started setting slo-mo Keanu Reeves to different songs just after the film hit Netflix last Friday, and by Monday Pedestrian TV had brought it to our attention.
Just look at him being all smooth as hell:

And other song selections were ’90s perfection:

The rest of the Twitter account’s picks were mostly ’80s classic radio love songs, but there were some newer entries by Billie Eilish, Tame Impala, and Logic (you can probably guess which Logic song) that also fit perfectly:

Keanu Reeves can look suave doing anything. Yes, even wearing yellow hair clips on the set of John Wick 3 — Parabellum:

Always Be My Maybe is currently streaming on Netflix, and will hopefully be just one of many movies in which Keanu Reeves makes a partially-improvised cameo playing a character who is a parody version of himself:
Motion for Keanu Reeves to just appear briefly as Keanu Reeves in every movie
