Do Keanu Reeves Cameron Diaz Matt Bomer Know Their Film Locations Condé Nast Traveler

That was practical. No. On the outside of an actual building? Yes. Was there a net? No. Oh, man. Hi, I'm Keanu Reeves, and I play Reef Hawk in Outko. And I play Cameron, oh, I play Cameron Diaz. I'm Cameron Diaz, and I play Kyle. I'm Matt Ballmer, and I play Xander Alexander. And we're about. To see. Which one of our filming locations. We can remember. Remember best. Remember the best. We'll try to, I'll try. I'm gonna try. Thank you, good luck. I know what that is. Wait, is that me? I know exactly. Wait, wait, wait. I know exactly what this is. We are. I think we all do. If we know, do we say it? Yeah. Okay, this is from the first Matrix. When your character first goes out into the world, it's a little bit away from the guards who are coming. You're like, look down, and you're kind of wigging out, but like, it's. Yeah, yeah. I'm afraid of heights. Is she not in Australia? Sydney. Sydney, yeah. Yeah, and that was practical. No. Yeah, so I had a line, I had a little, I had a little. No, on the outside of an actual building? Yes. Was there a net? No. Oh, man. No. Wow. What? You did that? Yeah, yeah. Wow, where was the camera? I was, they had it on a crane, so they had it coming out with me, but then I was like standing outside for real, looking down. What floor were you on? 30s, something like that. I would vomit. I was, back then, I was okay. I mean, it was a little tricky, but by the end, I was just sitting on the lip, just with my, hanging out, waiting. I would, I would vomit. It wasn't really trippy at the beginning. Seriously. Wow, oh my gosh. You love the Matrix. You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Oh, I know what that is. That is Gangs of New York, baby. Yep, yep. Which, you know, takes place, the story is New York, but we shot it at Chinichita Studios in Italy, outside of Rome. Historical. Legendary. Legendary, we had stage, the Fellini stage eight. Whoa. We had the whole entire back lot that they turned in from this set into, and that's like a actual set that we burnt down, not burnt down, but had all this happening. They built the boats. It was a beautiful set. Gunboat Liberty and Ironclad Passage now lying off the foot of Wall Street. They are ready to open fire on the mob. All of these actors and background, and this is a scene at the very end when we are, my character's trying to escape out of sort of, you know, this riot that's happening, and I had basically pneumonia and had to shoot my entire scenes out at the very, very end because I was the girl who was like the third or fourth or fifth character in the movie, so nothing, like all of, I was kind of like the cover set, you know? And it was like, time for me to go, so Marty had to shoot me out. What did you do? How did you rally? Just power through. I was so hard, and then all that smoke, and I couldn't breathe, and then I was getting punched in the stomach. Oh my gosh. But it was amazing, because it was in Rome. It was in Rome, baby. With Martin Scorsese and Daniel Day-Lewis. It's suffering. Like suffering. Icons only, baby. Icons only. I lived in Rome for six months. It was amazing. That sounds incredible. I love it. I would get so fat. I had a, I called it my pasta baby. I had a pasta baby. No, I was cinched into my costume, so it didn't matter. It was incredible. This one feels like not, well, it's definitely not mine. It's not mine. Oh, it's mine. This is the Roosevelt Island Tram. I think we were on White Collar, which is a television series I did for six years. This is, we were one of the few productions ever allowed to film an action sequence on the Roosevelt Tram. Neil, where are you? On a tram headed for Roosevelt Island. What do you mean action? There was a fight sequence on the tram car. Were you fighting? Oh yeah. It was all practical, and they let us freeze the car and put it in a safer position. There may have been like one green screen jumping pickup situation, but 85 episodes or whatever, it's hard to remember exactly. 85. When it was. Before. Neil! I'd do it all again. Mm-hmm. Yeah. That is me. Yes. Yeah, that's you. John Wick. Yeah, John Wick. New York State. Brooklyn Navy Yard. This is practical. Oh wow. So this was rain machines, and it was less than 30 degrees. Just you and me, John. You and me. 30 degrees and raining? It was fine. And wet. It was really far. Is this you? That is me. Do you know? I don't know what that is. I believe that that's from, there's. Wait, what is that? You're like, there's a home, they're looking inside. Yeah. It's a house. Is that, wait, there's, it's either from something about Mary, or. Ooh, is it something about Mary? Or is it. Yeah. It's something about Mary. Is it? Yes. Okay, yeah. Something about Mary. That was in Miami. Okay. What time of year? That's the zipper scene. Perfect time of year. Over the winter, basically. Like, you know. January, February. Kind of, yeah. I think this is the zipper. Right before the zipper. Oh, yes. Of course. Yeah. I think he's screaming. That's what I'm looking. God, I still have such a visceral reaction to that. They're looking at it, because there was. Yes. He's screaming. Got it. Nah, you? That's me. Yeah. I think this is in Savannah, Georgia. This is from the second Magic Mike film. And this is a scene where Channing Tatum and I, our characters, have been in a fight the night before. And this is kind of our amend scene. And he's just kind of waking up, maybe a little hungover. My character's been meditating to kind of like, center himself before he has this big conversation with his friend. I'm happy you finally got what you wanted, man. I am. We say ---- all the ******* time, but you went and did it, man. I love Savannah. I didn't, we didn't spend a ton of time in Daytona, but Savannah, I loved. Savannah's a little witchy. Yeah, it's very witchy. It's a little witchy. If you're in Savannah, Mrs. Wilkes Tea Room, and the pink something, pink lady, pink house. It's like really good, like Southern soul food kitchen. This is not me, you. That's me. That's Charlie's Angels. Oh, which one? Oh, sorry, I thought, I thought I was supposed to. Oh, you're just, you're wrong. One or full throt, I'm sorry. This was on stage downtown. Okay. In downtown LA. Relax, boss. Order a drink. Excuse me, miss? Yes, hi. My nephew was being born. I was in the middle of shooting with Bill Murray, Lucy, and Drew, and I got the phone call that my nephew was coming, so I said, guys, I gotta go, and they're like, go, go. Jumped into my car, and I drove down the 110 freeway on the side of, you know, the. The feeder? Yeah. Safety lane, the off road, the off lane. The off lane on the inside, all the way down to the 405. You just went, wow. I just like, I'm going, I'm not missing this, which is terrible. I would never do that, it's really irresponsible. And then got all the way down to Newport, and was there to be there when he was born. Aw, that's sweet. Yeah. My sister held it as long as she could. Like, it has to be Keanu. Oh, yeah, that's Keanu. Speed. That's Speed. That's my character's car. It's a sequence where Jack Traven asks someone to borrow their car, and they drive, and that's where it crashes, and he goes from the car to the bus. Cool story. This was on when they were building the 105. Right, that was the 105 before it opened up. Yeah. So we were on the 105, and so then we could take the 105 at home at night, but it was cool driving on an empty freeway. So cool. I just did that for the film that I'm on, that I just did, and they shut down three miles each way on a highway in Jersey for a week. Oh, shoot. It was crazy. You had such unhappy folks. Yeah, apparently they do it with this part of the freeway a lot. It's like they've done a calculated kind of thing, but it's so cool. I know who that is. That's Cameron. That's mine. That's Cameron. That's the holiday. That's the holiday, yeah. What's happening here? We're in England. I think we were in Surrey, I believe. I'm driving in England for the first time, my character. Was that your first time driving in England? I think it might've been, yeah. We know you're an amazing driver, so you had no problem with that. That's what I hear, you're an amazing driver. We're gonna find out one day here. Yes, we are. Oh, no. Okay, yeah. Is that? Is that Alcove? It's Malibu. That's Alcove. I think that's Malibu. Is that PCH? That's PCH. What a beautiful cove. Yeah. You've had five years off. How are you gonna frame the five years thing? I won't say that I was hiding a heroin addiction from the public and that my best friends and my insane lawyer helped me cover it up for years. That is a really smart omission. Strong omission. Beauty of our job, right? It takes us to really amazing locations, beautiful places around the world constantly where we get to not just visit, but immerse ourselves in it and live in it for moments that most people dream of. It was a wonderful jaunt down memory lane. Reminds us of our good fortune.
