Keanu Reeves, Cameron Diaz & Matt Bomer Advice for Aspiring Actors

Keanu Reeves sure gives some wick-ed good advice. 

After more than 30 years working in Hollywood, including rising to fame in his early 20s, the John Wick star is well-equipped to dole out words of wisdom to anyone also looking for their big break. And he didn’t mince words when sharing his candid take.

“Try not to be a f–king a–hole,” Keanu exclusively told E! News’ Will Marfuggi during a joint interview with his Outcome costars Cameron Diaz and Matt Bomer. “And go to work and respect who you’re working with until they prove they don’t get your respect.”

Cameron couldn’t help but agree, noting it’s advice that rings true beyond the film industry. As she quipped, “Yeah. That’s life.”

And looking back on her own experience in Hollywood, the Charlie’s Angels actress emphasized “there’s no handbook or manual on being famous.”

“You gotta just make it your own—you don’t know what it’s gonna be,” she explained. “Also, there’s reaching out to other people that you admire, the way that they do it and asking them for some advice.”
