Keanu Reeves, Tony Hawk.

Keanu Reeves and Tony Hawk have been indulging in a bit of a mutual love-in, as well as talking about their favourite music.

Reeves was appearing in the skate icon’s Hawk Vs Wolf podcast and conversation touched upon music and video games. Hawk’s Pro Skater soundtrack turns 25 this year and the series played a not insignificant role in the wave of interest in nu-metal, skate punk and related genres in the early 2000s.
