Keanu Reeves was left red-faced when he was forced to film a sex scene with a film director’s wife – while said director watched.
The John Wick star was appearing in Eli Roth’s thriller film Knock Knock back in 2015 when he got involved in a very raunchy scene with Eli’s then-wife Lorenza Izzo.
Keanu starred as architect Evan Webber in the flick, who is forced to spend a night away from his family with a storm brewing overhead.

But when the pair turn on the devoted father, things turn into a deadly game that not everyone can win. Eventually Genesis and Bel end up tying Evan to a chair with cables and subjecting him to physical torture.
Played by Lorenza Izzo and Ana de Armas, Keanu filmed the sexy scenes with the pair but was quickly left fighting the discomfort, as Lorenzo was married to director Eli at the time.
In the scenes, the A-lister stripped naked and got very intimate with the two strangers, which he confessed was a little uncomfortable.
Opening up to Jimmy Kimmel on his chat show, the star was pressed on the issue as the host questioned if it was more discomforting than usual.

“Not for me, Jimmy,” Keanu quipped, before explaining that he often finds X-rated scenes “weird”.
He said: “Eli created a great situation of trust and rehearsals, but eventually you have to get naked and simulate and do…
“I wasn’t that guy who was like, ‘Hey Eli your wife is hot’…you know like every day like, ‘I can’t wait for this sex scene Lorenza looks amazing today’.”
But as Hollywood’s ultimate nice guy, Keanu said of the director: “Eli was really cool. We had fun.”

Meanwhile, Eli himself opened up to Fangoria about working with his former wife, explaining: “Lorenza and I have a great working relationship, obviously.
“When we get on set, we’re director and actor, and that’s the relationship. She knows I’m going to push her, and I know she’s always going to give me everything she has.
“Everybody looks to us to set the tone; they realise that there’s no playing favourites.
“She’s there to do her job and to nail it, and I want her to nail it, and everybody else has to keep up with us.”
The pair tied the knot in a beachfront ceremony in Chile back in 2014 but divorced five years later in 2019.
