Speaking alongside Esquire, Sandra Bullock discussed her relationship alongside Keanu Reeves. She admitted that the two were extremely close, but never dated in the past.
Bullock would go on to discuss what a great person Keanu is, and how she wouldn’t even have been angry had they ever dated, and he decided to end things. Her reason, well, just that Keanu is a tremendous individual.
“Keanu’s a guy who, I feel like, is friends with every woman he’s ever dated. I don’t think there’s anyone who has something horrible to say about him,” Bullock said.
“So maybe we could have survived. I don’t know. But we didn’t have to survive anything. We just get to grow up together on parallel roads and tip our hats and meet for a dinner and try to work together. And the longer time goes on, the more in awe I am of the human being. Would I have been able to say that if he had dumped me and made me angry? Probably not.”

Sandra Bullock Admitted Her Intimate Conversations With Keanu Reeves Would Drive Her Crazy Given How Reserved The Actor Is

Sandra Bullock admitted that her convos with Keanu at times drove her crazy, especially given that the actor did a lot of listening. Bullock would only make things worse trying to fill out the quiet spaces in their conversations.
She revealed, “That’s what I mean that it drives you crazy,” Bullock told the magazine. “When I first met him, I would spend as much time as I could filling a silence, just to feel comfortable. And the more I jibber-jabbered on, the quieter he would get. And I thought, I don’t understand what’s happening! He’s looking at me with eyes of confusion. He’s quiet. Did I say something to offend him?”
However, it seems like Keanu was a great listener and at times would just need to process the information. Bullock revealed that a day or two later, he’d contact her and always come up with the best piece of advice for their convos.
“And then a day or two later, he would arrive with a note or a little package, saying, ‘I thought about what you said.’ And he would have his response.”

“At the time I didn’t respond to the script. I really wanted to work with Sandra Bullock, I loved playing Jack Traven, and I loved Speed, but an ocean liner? I had nothing against the artists involved, but at that time I had the feeling it just wasn’t right.”
“I loved working with [director] Jan de Bont and Sandra, of course. It was just a situation in life where I got the script and I read the script and I was like, ‘Ugh.’ It was about a cruise ship and I was thinking, ‘A bus, a cruise ship… Speed, bus, but then a cruise ship is even slower than a bus and I was like, ‘I love you guys, but I just can’t do it.’ ”
Keanu was completely right with his choice, despite the massive $12 million offer. The film was a dud both in reviews and at the box office. In addition, co-star Sandra Bullock called the sequel the biggest regret of her career.
