An interview between Roman Kemp and Keanu Reeves has been called “the most awkward of all time” by social media users after the British television personality chose to ask the John Wick actor some slightly more unusual questions. Here are the details.
Roman Interviews Keanu
Earlier this week, Roman got a chance to sit down with 58-year-old Keanu on his Capital Radio Breakfast show ahead of the release of the highly anticipated John Wick: Chapter 4 .

While listeners had hoped for one of the most interesting sessions, things got off to an awkward start as Roman took a rather irrelevant approach to his line of questioning.

The radio host chose to ask the Canadian actor a series of surreal questions — some of which hinged on nods to very niche corners of British culture.
Roman Asks Keanu An Irrelevant Question
Roman began the chat by asking Keanu if he believes his legendary hitman character, John Wick, would be able to beat the nation’s P.E. teacher and fitness coach, Joe Wicks, in a fight.
Keanu’s Response
A baffled Keanu replied by noting that although it was hard to believe, John Wick didn’t “really wanna fight.” The actor then mentioned that they should just talk about life and fitness.
Roman Dishes Out More Awkward Statements
Roman then told Keanu that John Wick sounded like British hardware chain store Wickes. To which, the actor responded, “For when you just have to get it done, I’m gonna wickes my bathroom, I’m gonna wickes my new kitchen.”
Roman Does More Cringe-Worthy Things
As if all that wasn’t enough, the host rounded off the interview by launching into his impression of Keanu — which sparked some polite laughter from his guest.

“So, I try to change the face first, and how I do that is, you’re about to sneeze, lean back, eyes are gone, and you’re now confused about the sneeze, and then it goes, ‘what?’ (impersonating Keanu) ‘so you see, what I’m tryin’ to do here?'” Roman said.
Capital Radio Reacts To The Interview
Undoubtedly, the interview had a cringe factor, prompting Capital Radio to head to Instagram with a montage of Keanu’s facial expressions, with the caption: “Is this the most awkward interview of all time!?”
