Jonathan Groff Surprises Keanu Reeves During 2025 Tony Awards Performance

At the 2025 Tony Awards, Jonathan Groff captivated the audience with a memorable performance from the musical "Just in Time," during which he unexpectedly leapt off the stage and straddled Keanu Reeves, who was seated in the audience. Groff, who stars as Bobby Darin in the Tony-nominated show, caressed Reeves' face and chest while singing, eliciting a surprised but good-natured reaction from Reeves, who responded with rock-and-roll hand gestures and applause. The moment sparked a viral frenzy on social media, with fans expressing excitement and admiration for the playful interaction between the two stars, who previously co-starred in "The Matrix Resurrections." Reeves, who presented at the ceremony, is preparing for his Broadway debut in a revival of Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" alongside Alex Winter. Groff, nominated for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical, has previously won a Tony and appeared later in the night in a "Hamilton" anniversary medley. The performance and unexpected reunion between Groff and Reeves were among the most talked-about highlights of the awards.
