“He didn’t really touch the guy, really, didn’t touch but, he felt like he touched him," Vincent told Express. “He was like, ‘I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!’, he was so hard on himself but the guy was just like, ‘All good!’” Keanu “wants to protect all the guys around”, a sentiment Vincent noted of the superstar, adding that even during training the star would constantly go out of his way to ensure the stunt team had the best possible catering to keep them in the most satisfactory shape to perform the perilous acts. Vincent asserted, “He’s amazing. Honestly, he’s really so sweet but it’s not just with stunt people, he’s caring of everyone.”
'John Wick: Chapter 4' has been hailed as one of the best action films to date. The fourth installment of the franchise which began in 2014, was filmed in multiple locations across the globe, often finding new and local stuntmen to work on the sequences on the new set. Vincent explain, that every time the cast and crew arrived at the new filming location, Keanu would make time to have a personal introduction. He said, “(Keanu would) gather all the stunt people just to introduce himself like, ‘Hi, welcome on the movie, I’m Keanu Reeves. Thank you very much for being here today.’ He doesn’t have to say that but he does every time. He’s very sweet. Lovely person.”
'John Wick life!'
Furthermore, after finishing the seven-month-long film shooting, Vincent took some time to reconnect with his family and friends after living the alleged "John Wick life." However little did the stuntman know he was still remembered by none other than the superstar of the film itself.
Nearly, a year and a half later, Vincent received an eye-popping text, “I knew one of the premieres was supposed to be in Paris and I got a message from Keanu, ‘Hey Vincent, Keanu here. There is the premiere in Paris, I don’t know if you want to join but I’d like to invite you." “This is just like ‘What?!’ he’s incredible,” gushed Vincent. In the end, Vincent did join Keanu at the Paris premiere, along with director Chad Stahelski and stunt choreographer Laurent Demianoff who he credited for getting him the role in the film.
