Keanu Reeves has been given a surprise crash-course in how to speak in the native Essex tongue.
After the 52-year-old revealed on This Morning his mum Patricia was originally from the North East London county, Alison naturally wanted to see how good Keanu’s ‘Essexisms’ were.
‘Let’s see – I don’t know,’ said a nervous Keanu, who agreed to take part in the impromptu lesson.
The John Wick 2 actor looked understandably perplexed as Alison went through a couple of her favourites.
She kicked off with ‘reem’ (something that looks good), ‘well jel’ (very jealous), and ‘shut up!’ (the response when surprising news is delivered) – and poor Keanu was struggling to keep up.
The actor continued to scratch his head when Alison asked if he knew what a ‘vajazzle’ referred to – but rather than explaining she opted to keep things out of the gutter.
Probably for the best!was
