20 Things You Probably Didn't Know About John Wick
2. Bridget Moynahan Did Not Read The Full Script
Bridget Moynahan's role as Helen in the first John Wick movie is brief but immensely impactful. Her passing serves as a painful reminder to John of the fickle nature of life, and leaves his attempts at a normal life in jeopardy.
The Coyote Ugly actress made an interesting call while developing her performance as John's doomed wife. As revealed by the film's production notes (via Slash Film), Moynahan only read the script up until Helen's demise as she wanted to see John as the happily married man, and not have his persona and actions as a killer influence her perception of him influence her performance.
