Keanu Reeves in Budapest
Blikk reports that Keanu Reeves, one of the world’s most beloved actors, is set to make Budapest his temporary home in the coming months. The Hollywood star will be filming at the Astra studios near the famous Hungaroring rather than at Hungary’s larger production complexes. Known for his humble and down-to-earth nature, Reeves has built a reputation for professionalism and kindness throughout his 40-year career.

Is he really down-to-earth?
Rather than staying in a hotel, he has chosen accommodation that allows him to explore the city freely. His presence in Budapest has already won over local film crews, further cementing his status as a universally admired figure. According to Blikk’s secret source, the local production crews are used to filming with big names, such as Benedict Cumberbatch, Orlando Bloom or Timothée Chalamet. However, Keanu Reeves definitely stands out with his charming and down-to-earth personality. The insider says:
He has a kind word for everyone, is happy to chat during breaks, tries to learn the names of the crew members and is very focused. He’s an incredible person, he has no celebrity allure, no extra wishes, no crazy ideas, no special ambition, he just wants to work and do his job in a relaxed way.
Passion for speed
Keanu Reeves is thrilled to be filming near the Hungaroring, given his well-known passion for speed, motor racing, and motorbikes. Insiders speculate that he might even try out the track on a day off, despite the risks involved. Known for his unwavering dedication, Reeves has reportedly continued working through illness and injury, including a high fever and a serious knee issue, without a single complaint.
His only special wish
Keanu Reeves is set to spend 70 days in Hungary filming The Entertainment System is Down, directed by Ruben Östlund. Despite a demanding schedule, the Hollywood star has chosen accommodation that allows him to explore the city, visiting galleries and museums in his free time. Rather than staying in a hotel, Reeves prefers a more private setting where he can focus on work away from the spotlight. His love for art is unsurprising, given his relationship with American artist Alexandra Grant. As it seems, Keanu Reeves and Budapest’s rich cultural scene are a match made in heaven!
