Keanu Reeveshad an incredibly thoughtful response when asked about his thoughts on death.
Although mortality isn’t the most common topic of conversation when celebrities hit the late night talk show circuit, the weighty subject matter came up when Reeves, 54, was discussing thethird installment of theBill and Tedfranchiseduring an appearance onThe Late Show with Stephen Colbertlast week.
Opening up about the plot of the film, which is currently calledBill and Ted Face the Music, Reeves shared that the titular characters are under a lot of pressure because “they were supposed to write the song that was supposed to unite the world and bring peace and everything, but they haven’t.”
To make things even more stressful, during the film, the pair find out that their song will actually “have to save the universe” — and they’ll only have 80 minutes to write it.
And should they fail, life as we know it will be over.
“It’s the end of the entire universe,” Reeves shared. “It’s the end of the time-space continuum.”

Commenting on the incredibly high stakes of the film, hostStephen Colbertremarked, “so you’re facing your own morality and the mortality of all existence.”
“Yeah,” Reeves answered.
Naturally, Colbert then went on to ask the actor what he thought happens when we die.
Taking a moment to consider the question, Reeves simply replied, “I know that the ones who love us will miss us.”
Seemingly unable to come up with a response to the actor’s profound reply, Colbert was silent for several seconds, before reaching over to the actor to shake his hand, and reminding the audience about the release date for Reeves’ new action filmJohn Wick: Chapter 3, which opens in theaters this week.
