At the 2000 press junket for The Gift, Reeves discussed his friendship and on-screen chemistry with Theron.
“We get along really well. We’re friends, we know each other and stuff, but there’s something that happens when we act together that’s very different than how we are when we are together in life. It’s the oddest thing. When I watch The Devil’s Advocate, I go ‘That’s a great couple. They rock. If I saw that couple I’d say they’re f*cking hot. They’re just hot’ and I felt that again on Sweet November that even though they’re such different characters that they should be together.”
Charlize Theron
In the romantic drama Sweet November from 2001, Theron played Sara Deever, the woman who inspires a transformation in Reeves’s character, Nelson Moss, a workaholic. The film received generally negative reviews, but audiences praised the undeniable chemistry between the two leads.
