Some people could only wonder whether they'd take the famed red or blue pill in 'The Matrix,' but Keanu Reeves really took the red one. During a recent Reddit Ask-Me-Anything (AMA), the actor was asked if he had ever stolen anything from any of his movie sets.
“Not stolen… the watch and wedding ring from 'John Wick,' a sword from '47 Ronin,' and the first red pill that the Wachowskis ever gave me,” Reeves replied. The Wachowski sisters wrote and directed the iconic 1999 film, so the meaning of the red pill is presumably tied into their decision to gift it to Reeves. To refresh your memory, the blue pill represents the choice to remain in ordinary reality, and the red pill is the decision to learn a potentially unsettling or life-changing truth. Later in the AMA, Reeves named 'The Matrix' trilogy as part of his favorite films he's ever starred in.
In the same way that many of us might take home the odd piece of stationary from the office, actors pick up freebies from their jobs too! Jason Momoa, AKA Khal Drogo, from 'Game of Thrones', told EW that he was especially fond of the moment when his character ripped the tongue and throat out of another man, so he decided to keep the gory props as a cherished memento. Ryan Reynolds also made off with quite a significant item from 'Deadpool'. Dakota Johnson kept props from the set of 'Fifty Shades of Grey.' Most actors have a collection of souvenirs from their favorite projects, but some are stranger than others...
