The Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure stars are set to appear in a revival of Waiting for Godot and Alex – who will play Vladimir opposite Keanu as Estragon in the adaptation of Samuel Beckett’s classic work – credits his friend for their reunion.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the red carpet at the Tony Awards in New York City on Sunday (08.06.25), Alex told People magazine he and Keanu had “wanted to work together” again.<\/p>\n
He added: “We have known each other a very long time \u2014 [which is fitting for] a play about two people who have known each other a very long time. … And Keanu had this crazy, inspired idea that suddenly turned into reality, for both of us.”<\/p>\n
And Alex, 59, teased the production is “very, very personal” to himself and Keanu, 60.<\/p>\n
\nAsked what fans can expect from Waiting For Godot, he said: “I think every time the play is done, it’s different, because of who’s playing it. It’s very, very personal, and so we’re bringing ourselves to it.”<\/p>\n
\nThe two stars previously admitted they find it easy to work together because of their friendship.<\/p>\n
\nIn a video conversation with director Jamie Lloyd about Waiting for Godot shared with People magazine, Alex said: “It\u2019s like being in a band together. We kind of know each other\u2019s rhythms.<\/p>\n
\n“Being able to bring that into, onto a stage, that\u2019s sort of our fundamental. That\u2019s in our bones away.”<\/p>\n
\nKeanu added: “The films that we did together, the Bill and Ted films, the language in those films had the architecture and their rhythms.<\/p>\n
\n“Even from early days, we approached them theatrically or even commedia dell’arte, ‘Okay, I do something, you do something, I get the ball, you get the ball.’ “<\/p>\n
\n“That\u2019s why, in the audition, we were so vibed. Because you didn\u2019t get that from other actors so much.”<\/p>\n
\nWaiting for Godot begins previews at the Hudson Theater in New York on 13 September ahead of a limited run from 28 September to 4 January.<\/p>\n
