During his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2017, while promoting the film John Wick: Chapter 2 , the actor revealed that his mother once hired Alice Cooper to babysit him.
Nimbus 9 recording studio was located , and my mother designed clothes. She was into rock and roll and worked in the industry, so she had acquaintances, or friends of friends, and according to her, Alice Cooper was my babysitter one day. I have no idea how that could have happened, but it did, supposedly.”
Alice Cooper played a prank on Keanu Reeves' house.
Since he was very young at the time, Reeves mentioned not perfectly remembering Cooper working as his caregiver – except for a vague memory of a prank the singer-songwriter played on his house: “I was very little, but I remember there were fake poops in the refrigerator and on the carpet.”
