Keanu Reeves’ Stolen ‘John Wick’ Stuntmen Watches Recovered in Police Raid

by

As a die-hard fan of Keanu Reeves and the electrifying John Wick franchise, I find myself constantly in awe of the extraordinary experiences this man has accumulated throughout his life. The latest chapter in the saga of John Wick, Chapter 4, not only showcases Reeves’ unparalleled acting skills but also highlights his unwavering kindness and generosity off-screen.

Imagine, if you will, a man who, after being robbed at his own home, responds with grace instead of vengeance. Keanu Reeves, the nicest guy in Hollywood, ordered custom Rolex Submariner watches for his entire stunt crew following the completion of John Wick: Chapter 4. Unfortunately, these same watches were stolen during a burglary in 2023. Yet, instead of going on a rampage to avenge their theft, Reeves remained calm and collected, allowing the Chilean authorities to recover the stolen goods.

What’s even more impressive is that each watch was personally engraved with a message from Keanu himself. The inscription, “THE JOHN WICK FIVE,” is a testament to his commitment to the franchise and his dedication to his team. It gives me hope that one day we may see a fifth installment focusing on John Wick’s quest to recover his stolen watches.

The story of Keanu Reeves and the John Wick franchise is an inspiration for all of us. From redefining the action genre with his unmatched dedication and training, to showing grace and kindness in the face of adversity, he continues to leave a lasting impact on both our screens and hearts.

And as a little joke, I can’t help but wonder if the burglar who stole Keanu’s watches is now regretting their decision, with an imaginary John Wick silently appearing behind them, ready to exact his revenge. But in true Keanu fashion, the burglar probably just got a stern talking-to and a free ticket to the next John Wick movie.

In the cherished “John Wick” series, the role of the former assassin is played by the talented Keanu Reeves. This character is compelled to return to his old ways when some underworld thugs not only kill his beloved dog but also rob him, resulting in a staggering 439 fatalities across all four films. Now, one has to wonder, what on earth could prompt such a theft from Reeves, especially when it involves anything related to the John Wick universe?

Recently, news broke about the completion of “John Wick: Chapter 4” in 2023, and true to his reputation as Hollywood’s nicest guy, Keanu Reeves showed his generosity by ordering personalized Rolex Submariner watches (valued at approximately $10,400 each) for the entire stunt crew of the movie. However, in 2023, an unfortunate incident occurred when his house was burglarized, with several items being stolen, including Reeves’ Rolex watches.

Fortunately, Reeves managed to maintain his composure and avoided enraging the High Table by not causing the deaths of over 400 people during his quest to retrieve the watch. As reported by CNN, Reeves’ Rolex Submariner was found when Chilean police carried out a raid in Santiago, uncovering a cache of stolen items. After the raid, the Chilean police issued a statement, confirming they had discovered watches that belonged to a well-known actor who had been robbed in Los Angeles in December 2023.

As a longtime fan of the John Wick series, I am thrilled by the recent news that Keanu Reeves and Chad Stahelski might be gearing up for a fifth installment. Having watched every movie in the franchise multiple times, I can attest to the exceptional quality of these films, both in terms of action sequences and character development. The idea that these watches, each meticulously engraved with a personal message from Reeves, could inspire the creation of another John Wick film is truly exciting. It’s a testament to the power of collaboration between talented artists and the enduring appeal of the John Wick story. I eagerly await further updates on this potential project and can hardly wait to see what Reeves and Stahelski have in store for us next.

The ‘John Wick’ Franchise Lives On… Through Spin-Offs

The initial “John Wick” movie was launched in 2014, significantly reshaping the action movie genre. Keanu Reeves’ commitment to training enabled Chad Stahelski to film intricate fight scenes and stunts using expansive lenses and limited takes, making Reeves appear prominently throughout most shots. The main series concluded in 2023 with “Chapter 4,” marking John Wick’s long-awaited respite. Since then, Reeves and Stahelski have hinted at the prospect of a fifth movie, though it remains uncertain. Essentially, they need an inspired idea to move forward; so far, none has been conceived.

In contrast, the expansive universe of John Wick persists across various platforms. We’ve already witnessed the initial spin-off, titled The Continental, which was a three-part miniseries on Peacock/Prime Video, debuting in 2023. Unfortunately, it didn’t receive a warm welcome from audiences. Nevertheless, the upcoming spin-off is set to bring fans back to the big screen. Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas as the lead character, a ballet dancer turned assassin of the Ruska Roma family, the same group John Wick was previously connected with, will hit theaters on June 7, 2025. The latest trailer promises a kill count surpassing any previous John Wick film. Additionally, a new live-action installment isn’t the only thing in store for John Wick fans; an anime prequel is also under development, though a release date or timeframe has yet to be announced.
