Keanu Reeves leaves UK couple 'starstruck' as he crashes wedding and joins them for pics

Keanu Reeves surprised a couple at their wedding reception recently, with the bride saying that they were "starstruck" when the actor posed for photos with them.

The actor, 57, was a "very special guest" at the reception for James Roadnight and Nikki Roadnight - who tied the knot at Fawsley Hall in Northamptonshire a few days ago.

He's said to have been staying at the hotel at the same time and after being recognised at the bar, introduced himself to the couple before taking photos with them and guests.

Nikki shared photos of the encounter on Twitter this week and has since opened up about meeting Keanu - who's known for film franchises like the Matrix and John Wick.

She told Newsweek that her husband saw Keanu at the bar area in the hotel and invited him to join the wedding party. He was "very friendly" and said he would later, she said.

Nikki said that an hour later a member of staff told her that a "very special guest" was outside and wanted to speak to her, which she described as having been "all very exciting".

She told the outlet that he was "so kind and friendly," and congratulated the newlyweds on their nuptials. He is said to have proceeded to take photos with the couple.
