10 Famous Actors Who Have Extremely Weird Tics In Every Movie

5. Keanu Reeves Favours A "Whoa"

Who knows how these things come about, but here's another actor who can't seem to escape a certain phrase in a high number of his movie ventures. This time it's Keanu Reeves, famous for his roles in movies like Dracula, Constantine and John Wick, whose characters frequently finds themselves awed enough to say "Whoa." "Whoa" is a strange word, mind - say it over and over to yourself now until it loses meaning, and you'll see. Originally "Whoa" was strictly considered to be a word that a person might use to slow down a horse, but has since evolved into a more general term. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkFyGNjaQ8k So Keanu has - for some reason - unleashed this phrase as a way to express a sense of surprise in movies as eclectic as Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Point Break, Speed, The Devil's Advocate and The Matrix.
