Drew Barrymore and Keanu Reeves took a ride down memory lane this week.
During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show on December 21, the Matrix actor was reminded of how he helped Barrymore celebrate her sweet 16th.
The two actors starred in the 1986 Christmas flick Babes in Toyland, which Barrymore described as an "obscure masterpiece".
The 46-year-old talk show host kicked off the interview by talking about how much fun they had on set, before going on to say that she had always seen Reeves as a role model.
"I definitely would look around and see the behaviors of the people I wanted to be like one day, and they were always kind, humble, gracious, hardworking, lovely examples. You are so that," Barrymore said.
Reeves thanked the host for her "kind" words, and she moved on the recall one of her favorite memories with the actor.
"I was at this club and it was my 16th birthday, and you came in—this is the memory I have of it, if you have anything to add or change please let me know—and you walked in and you grabbed my hand and you took me outside and you put me on your motorcycle," she remembered. "And we drove at the warp speed of my life."
"You took me on the ride of my life. And I was so free, I was such a free human being," she added.
Reeves - who was clearly struggling to remember the encounter - asked Barrymore if she could describe their route.
"I believe it was on 3rd Street in Los Angeles. We definitely took off down third," she said.
"Wow, if we were on third, oh wow we probably we fast," joked Reeves.
"Irresponsibly fast," agreed the Charlie's Angels actress.
Barrymore then recalled how she practically skipped back to the party once Reeves dropped her off, adding: "I'm now realizing you can't have a better Sweet 16 than being put on your motorcycle and having the moment where you understand what freedom is."
When she asked Reeves when he felt most free, the actor explained that he found freedom in his work.
"I love what happens after someone says 'action.' We begin and we're in the moment," he explained. "We might have prepared a lot and we have our past and history and what we're trying to do in the story we're trying to tell, but that moment of 'action' or 'let's begin,' it's fun."
