Richard Wilkins relives chilling interview with Keanu Reeves in new online series Dickie’s Diaries
Channel Nine showbiz reporter Richard Wilkins has relived a chilling moment with famed actor Keanu Reeves.
Wilkins, 68, shared a throwback video of the embarrassing 2021 interview as part of Dickie’s Diaries at 9Honey.
The Hollywood superstar shuts down the veteran reporter after Wilkins admitted he didn’t understand the plot of The Matrix Resurrections, which starred Reeves, 58.
Dickie’s Diaries revisits Wilkins’ archive of celebrity interviews from his 35-year career at Nine.
Reflecting on the incident with Keanu in 2021, Wilkins said he thought he may have offended the actor with a question about the Matrix Resurrections plot.

In the original interview, Wilkins can be seen asking Reeves, “Was there ever a time when you were reading the script and going through it and you thought ‘okay, so what’s going on here now?'”.
Reeves initially seems surprised at Wilkins’ question, before responding, “In terms of the plot and what was going on, that was very clear to me.”
Wilkins now says in Dickie’s Diaries that “maybe he didn’t offend Reeves,” because he only recently interviewed the fan favorite for John Wick 4.
Wilkins launched Dickie’s Diaries last week exclusively on the digital platform 9Honey.
It comes after sources indicated last year that Wilkins would reduce his on-screen time on Today after taking it the title of Network Entertainment Editor.
The first episode of Dickie’s Diaries featured his 2003 sit-down with pop star Prince.
Other episodes from Wilkin’s 35-year career with Nine include Madonna and Hugh Grant.
