He wore a smart black suit and striped tie, rustic leather shoes, and his trademark black, loose hair and salt-and-pepper beard.
Sofia made an impact in a black jumper, slacks and metallic strappy sandals. Her shiny dark brown hair fell to her shoulders in wavy waves and she dressed up the look with gold jewelry.
Off the red carpet, the showbiz legends posed next to a beautiful nature statue with a replica of a red-leaved tree and a sign reading ‘The House Of Suntory: The Nature and Spirit of Japan’.
Other stars celebrating Suntory included Darren Criss, Ralph Macchio and Daniel Dae Kim.
SNL star Heidi Gardner also celebrated the brand in a gorgeous animal print dress layered with a black blazer.
Reeves’ latest role with the whiskey marks a return for him, with the actor previously starring in a 1992 commercial for the brand.
The short film directed by Sofia is out now, while the docu-series directed by her brother is expected to release in the summer.
According to a press release, the docu-series explores Japanese whiskey culture inspired by harmony with nature (Wa), elevated by Japanese craftsmanship (Monozukuri), and enjoyed as an authentic Japanese cultural experience (Omotenashi).

Speaking of his two new films with Suntory, Reeves said in the release, “It’s very special to be working together in honor of this milestone. My admiration for the whiskey goes beyond tasting the whiskey.
It is the exquisite Japanese craftsmanship and attention to every detail that makes Suntory Whiskey so special. As an actor honing and perfecting my own craft, it’s great to be able to share this process in a docuseries.”
Jon Potter, the general manager of the House of Suntory, said: “As a pioneer of Japanese whiskey, the House of Suntory has played an important role in shaping the culture and leading craftsmanship in Japan over the past century.
“To mark this historic milestone, it makes perfect sense to team up with Sofia and Keanu, who are Suntory Whiskey fans. From the standout blends of our fifth generation Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo to the unique cinematic creations of Sofia and Keanu, this commemoration has exceeded all expectations in celebrating our iconic Japanese whiskies.”

This puts John Wick in the ranks of Avatar, Marvel, and even Illumination’s Despicable Me.
John Wick: Chapter 4 was widely released in theaters across the United States on March 24 and has already grossed over $425.3 million.
