The John Wick actor seems to be making a habit of it
A pair of British newlyweds got the wedding gift they never expected when Keanu Reeves turned up at their reception. James and Nikki Roadnight were celebrating at Falsely Hall Hotel in Northamptonshire after tying the knot last weekend. Unknown to the couple, Matrix star Reeves was staying at the hotel at the same time, and it was a huge shock when they spotted the Hollywood superstar at the bar.

Speaking to Newsweek, bride Nikki explained how her husband asked the actor, 57, if he wanted to join them for a drink after noticing it was him. Reeves accepted the offer and said he'd join them later that evening.
"He was very friendly and said he would later on," Nikki said, "We didn't know if he would or not but it was cool that my husband had spoken to him!"
But it turns out that Reeves is a man who is true to his word.

Around an hour later, hotel staff informed the couple that a "very special guest" had arrived and wanted to chat to them.
Reeves made sure to congratulate the couple, who posed for a number of photographs, though he didn't stay for a drink as he was tired after a long-haul flight.
Nikki said the actor was "so kind and friendly" when congratulating the couple on their big day.
"Then he took the time to speak to some of our guests and have more photos done!" she added.
Hilariously, this isn't even the first time the actor has crashed a wedding.

In 2018, Reeves was papped with a couple who had just got married in New York.
It seems there isn't a much nicer bloke who could unexpectedly pop along to your big day. We know who we'll be looking out for next time we head to a wedding...
