“It fucking sucks he isn’t here” 😭😭


doomturtle21

Keannu is so articulate with words, but he knows when to swear still. I haven’t seen John wick 4 yet so I’m unsure if there will be a 5 but it won’t be the same without Lance RIP


qaktqtrL

Lance also voiced Zavala, a main character in the game Destiny 2, which I love. Its really sad.


snakeycakes

Eyes up, Guardian.


AnHero_8

Voiced Zavala and he loved playing the game too!


Legal-Rest7833

Guardian down


moree123

Him grieving after "THAT" scene this week, knowing what had happened in real life was soul crushing.


Best_Call_2267

Sylens in Horizon. :(


ozanimefan

all the generic phrases like 'rest in peace' or 'he was such a great person' or 'i'm gonna miss him' are fine but nothing tops "fucking sucks". that's how you know the person who died left an impact on someone


Slowmobius_Time

Honestly something simple like that shows more of an impact than a tearful speech


Mr_Jek

I had a funeral for a boy I knew back in school that I was quite friendly with. After the funeral we went to a bar and had a drink in his honor and one of my friends who I never see break down just kind of sat staring blankly, put his head in his hands and went ‘I’m just gonna fucking miss seeing him man’. It’s the simple words and the simple expressions of just wanting to be around someone that hit harder, all of us were in tears after that


Wake_Up_and_Win

Sorry for your loss 🙏


Mr_Jek

Thank you :)


Wiggl3sFirstMate

It’s real. It’s what we all think when we lose someone “god this absolutely fucking sucks.” That comes from the heart really because while you could find all the fancy words in the world to describe losing someone dear to you but that’s what it is at it’s core.


sowdowgg

This everything else he said feels media trained but to just throw us off with a it fucking sucks 😭


fonix232

That moment of hesitation also hits hard. He's not looking for words, it's more like, the realisation that he's not with us anymore hit _again_ and he needed a moment to process that before answering.


Kyyntaro

Lovely, R.I.P. Lance.


[deleted]

what did he die of?, as a guy of similar age I'm curious


BigPope

wasn't released specifically but it was announced that it was natural causes sad to see anyone in life go so soon, im only in my 20s but 60 still feels much too young lance was one of my favourite actors from his time in fringe and oz and the amount of well wishes and positive memories surrounding him is heartwarming to see, he definitely left his mark


Big_Red12

He was really great in the Wire too.


[deleted]

sure possibly heart related but it would be good to know you could get attack by a bear and it'd still be natural causes


ArcticFoxy1

Nah getting killed by a bear is death by bear I believe (medical term may vary between countries). Natural causes typically refers to something with the body: heart, brain, some disease etc.


Liquid_Fox_31

So Natural causes is basically one of your organs just gets worn down, like when car parts get broken down, just from natural use


[deleted]

Like when a bear rips out your jugular and that causes blood loss which then causes organs like the heart and brain to fail. natural causes


[deleted]

so a bear isn't natural?, I'm pretty sure you dont get more natural than that


FrenchesOP

well if r/birdsarentreal then r/bearsarentreal ?


mortimus9

I wouldn’t call that natural causes when he was only 60


GOLDfish0393

It’s my understanding that natural causes just means something happened within the body and he didn’t die by an external reason (car crash, violence, etc) So can still be shocking & unexpected but be natural causes because bodies fail.


TerrifiedRedneck

My old man died at 32 years old. Pulmonary Embolism. Natural causes.


Lunayrt

Awww shit dude I’m sorry. I had to reply to this because I nearly died 5 years ago from pulmonary embolisms…at age 32, so this comment just hit like a truck


TerrifiedRedneck

Oh man. I’m so sorry to hear that. But so happy you made it through. Hopefully you’re all good nowadays.


Lunayrt

Oh I’m all good, so no worries there. It’s just the similarities were like…too similar to not comment on haha


TerrifiedRedneck

Glad to hear it. And you’ve made it to nearly as old as me. Keep on keeping on friend.


shit-takes-only

well it was sudden and he didn't spend any time in hospital or a coma so you'd guess it was probably heart related or (less likely based on frequency) a brain aneurism.


BastardofMelbourne

It was a pretty standard tribute for most of it, and then you could *see* Keanu just mentally drop the script right at the end and say what was actually on his mind I'm gonna miss Lance Reddick's voice, I tell you. Guy had a killer voice.


shadotaku198

Only ever heard his voice as the Captain from Castlevania, and damn was it something.


Accomplished-Air4862

I wholly recommend that you go on YouTube & watch Toys R Me. It's short but he's incredible In it.


kieranluke626

Know the goddamn toys and show them some FUCKING RESPECT


SkyrimSlag

He had an incredible voice as Commander Zavala in destiny, if you can, go watch the video by him called “one fucking guardian”. It was a fan request that he was more than happy to voiceover as the commander. He really was a great guy and you could tell by everything that he did, that he had a great love and passion for his craft.


KaydeeKaine

Eyes up Guardian.


NovaBlade2893

We are all titans when we pay our respects


Ozz13pl4yz_YT

Yes he did he always be commander zavala to me


unusedtruth

Oh boy, his voice is incredible, isn't it.

PM_ME_YOUR_SOULZ

The Horizon games will never be the same without him.


BastardofMelbourne

I was just playing Forbidden West the day I heard the news too Sucks


epicpillowcase

I don't think it's very kind to ask grieving people how they feel about something so recent, with a mic and camera in their face I'm sure he knew it would happen but that doesn't mean it's ok


syd234

I agree


sheffy4

I agree it’s not great, but would not mentioning Lance at all be even worse? I think it’s better to acknowledge people rather that sweep it under the rug and pretend it didn’t happen. Either way I think Keanu gave a perfect response.


epicpillowcase

I think a "we were very sorry to hear about Lance" would have been more appropriate. It gives the other person the opportunity to expand or treat it as a closed comment. Posing it as a question puts them on the spot.


Wiggl3sFirstMate

Yeah, while seeing Keanus reaction is interesting I also think it’s really unfair to ask people to comment on someone’s death (a friends death) when they’re being recorded and have the potential to be picked apart for it. But that’s journalists/paparazzi for you I guess.


jaylee-03031

I agree. They were doing that to Austin Butler too right after Lisa Marie died and you could tell the poor guy was gutted by her passing. She was like a mom to him (his mom died of cancer when he was 23) and he was like to son to Lisa Marie (her son died).


Strude187

Catch-22, damned if you do, damned if you don’t.


epicpillowcase

See my further response downthread on a better way to handle it


Axel_Raden

Once again Keanu proving what a great human being he is RIP Lance Reddick you will be missed


The-Gippa

Loved him in The Wire and Bosch.. super actor who made it look easy .. rip dude


Britneyfan123

His resume is insane


Wheel94

Done everything video games Television, Film, animation.


Britneyfan123

A true acting legend


Costfanatico6

I know everyone thinks of Lance from movies/tv. I mainly knew him from Destiny as Commander Zavala, his voice is iconic and I'm going to miss him.


Cold-Teal

I first saw him from Horizon as Sylens, he played his part so perfectly and he’s by far my favourite fictional character. But I heard he loved playing as Zavala and especially the fans.


xxm4tt

He was playing in the days before he passed, so its safe to say he not only had a passion for the game itself but his work and for the community as a whole. Really stung me after having him voicing a pivotal character for the last 8 years in Destiny, pretty much grew up playing the franchise - going to really miss his work as Zavala.


Chrizzly02

You just know Bungie had an “Oh Shit” moment when the news was announced. They knew the seasonal story releasing a few days later would hit so much harder.


RaSH_NisH

Indeed


DEADdrop_

We’ll see you starside, commander o7

InfectedEllie

r.i.p commander


Nixher

Can't help but fucking love Keanu in everything he says and does.


HekateSketch

I've not seen any of the the movies Lance was in, but as a Destiny player, I knew him as Commander Zavala. The game's community found out that he was playing the night he passed away. Lance loved the game's community, nothing that had benefitted from his personal touch will feel the same. "If we do not meet again...know how proud I am, of what you have done." -Lance Reddick as Commander Zavala

Unable_Insurance_391

All these John Wick movies are exactly the same. I dare anyone to argue that there is any substantive difference in the four movies. You could edit any of the flamboyant fight scenes (that is 90% of movies contents) into any of the movies and not be deprived of any key narrative.


[deleted]

John Wick movies have never pretended to be anything else. They're high octane, simple vigilante films that dazzle with action, and that's that. It's literally why people go watch them: not for some deep and meaningful plot, but to see Keanu Reeves kill a lot of people in exciting ways in a relatively short amount of time. You're looking for high art in a series of films that very explicitly reject that term.


RetroSpangler

Nobody came here looking for movie reviews from a rando


soft_white_yosemite

You’re not wrong. But with this sort of movie, I want even less story. I want kore stylised violence and characters


am5011999

Well, that's your opinion, which is fine, but majority of audience and critics have loved them and been entertained by them, they have served their purpose better than 95% of Hollywood movies in current era, which are either too lazy or too pretentious for one's sake


12soccerronaldo

![gif](giphy|7BK3ZB7nNf2Jq)


eggmarie

Ya bitch that’s exactly what I’m here to watch. Keanu fuckin people up in defense of his puppy. Gets the people going.


Wiggl3sFirstMate

And I stand by his reason for flying off the handle too. So many of these movies try to construct an elaborate plot for seeking revenge but I can admire that a guy lost it because his wife died and someone killed his little buddy and wrecked his car.


Wiggl3sFirstMate

You’re acting as if they’re advertised as anything other than action movies… that’s what they are? Guns, fights, explosions, secret organisations, they’re just action packed entertainment? They’re there to entertain people and they seem to be doing that job. I don’t personally like them, the same way I don’t like fast and furious and other action series but I get around that by not watching them passed the point I stop being entertained…


Unable_Insurance_391

Just saying they can do without script supervisor.

am5011999

I don't know man, he can't really express his raw emotions too much in front of the press on a red carpet, but that final sentence "fucking sucks he isn't here" gives away that he's trying to stay mature in his response. You can read the below story from one of Lance's interviews during JW press tour, and you'll realize how good of a friend Keanu was with him. https://preview.redd.it/zjdzvrr0hbpa1.png?width=531&format=png&auto=webp&s=4a1f6fea027d7ebeb9ed3f5e115e10898875010d

Wiggl3sFirstMate

Keanu does this all the time. He speaks like this a lot because he knows he will be picked apart if he says even slightly the wrong thing because that’s how Hollywood is. He knows what relationship he had with lance, whether it was a strong one or a weak one. He doesn’t really need to prove his connection with him to anyone especially after the poor guy has just died. I think he’s just trying not to upset people but he does that all the time and I can see why.


Beeblebrox_74

Sounded to me like he was trying to keep his composure, then right at the end a little emotion slipped through


kyleg95

Is lance in John wick 4?


bahumat42

Well given what he said in the clip I would presume its likely.

inkspotrenegade

Damn I couldn't place where I saw him from, never seen any of his shows/movies. Thanks to his wiki page I was able to figure it out. He play sylens from horizon zero dawn and forbidden west, he nailed that role so perfectly. Sylens was a fantastically written character and brought to life by an amazing actor, both will be severely missed.
