On Wednesday, former Bill and Ted co-stars Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter got back together for a fantastic trip in coastal California.

Before starting out on a motorcycle journey across the untamed California coastline, the lifelong friends were observed purchasing coffee from a Malibu café.

Before the day trip, Keanu, 57, mounted onto his bike wearing a black jacket over a pair of jeans that matched it, as well as worn-out brown boots.

Alex, 56, accompanied his former co-star while sporting a black shirt, blue pants, and black motorcycle boots, which he completed with a pair of dark sunglasses.

We appreciate each other’s company and our perspectives on the world, Keanu continued. “What are you thinking?” is said when we get together. I don’t know, but I find it amusing. “Yeah, that’s kind of weird, too.”

For Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Alex claimed in the media that he and Keanu “met in the audition process” and “hit it off early on the audition.”

We had comparable acting and dramatic training and interests, so when they told us we both got the part, we both said, “Ah, that’s great that you got it.”

It’s similar to the feeling you get when you start at a new school: “Oh great, you’re going to be in my class.” It had that feel.

In an article for The New York Times from August 2020, they discuss their friendship and the movie series, with Alex revealing that he considers his co-star to be a brother.

There isn’t much consistency in this profession, he declared. When you first meet on set, you exclaim, “We’re like a family!” You never, ever see them again after that. “OK, bye.”

The actors discussed their time working with late comic great George Carlin, who portrayed Rufus in the first two movies.

We were young and well-trained, but having someone to assist us advance was incredibly important, Keanu added. “We felt extremely lucky about that,”

Alex continued, “It was scary because neither of us knew who would be playing Rufus until well into the filming.”

There were certain names that were mentioned; they were all excellent actors, but they weren’t the proper fit for the part. The fact that it was George astounded both Keanu and myself.

Off-camera, he was a really sensible, down to earth person. He was also, in my opinion, incredibly kind to both of us. We understood the gravity of his presence.

Keanu claimed that after the movie’s success in theaters upon its debut in February 1989, their “personal lives changed a little bit.”

People would say, “Whoa! Dudes!” when we went out to dine together, he recalled. We’d simply say, “Yeah. Yeah.” “Party on, fellas!” “Yeah.”‘

Alex continued, “I recall someone performing an air-guitar slide on their knees, all the way across the restaurant floor up to our bar stools.

“You realize that this – no matter what happens – is never going to stop,” I recalled telling Keanu.
