Keanu Reeves gets to cuddle a bunch of puppies on TV, and his reaction is unforgettable

When appearing in the first John Wick film with Daisy, the eight-month-old beagle whose onscreen death left fans broken hearted, Keanu Reeves’ face was smothered with bacon grease to lure the adorable puppy into giving him kisses.

That wasn’t the case when the Canadian-born star appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and played Pup Quiz, which ended in Reeves being swathed by puppy love.

Joining the talk show, the 58-year-old actor sat down for a high-stakes match of Pup Quiz, where each correct answer is rewarded with a precious Golden Retriever puppy.

A favorite on the Fallon show, Pup Quiz pits the talk show host against celebrities like Kaley Cuoco, Jerry Seinfeld and Salma Hayek, all vying for the title of Top Dog.

Favored to win from the jump, Pup Quiz host Steve Higgins offered Reeves a hint, allowing him to nail his first question and land a puppy in his lap. “That’s unfair!” Fallon said about Higgins’ interference. “First of all, I’m not taking a puppy away from John Wick. Just saying that right now.”

Then in Double Puppardy, the Matrix actor doubled the number of dogs in his lap by correctly answering that a dik-dik is a species of antelope. 

After sweeping the win with six adorable puppies, the Bill and Ted franchise star claimed the title, proclaiming, “I’m the puppy king!”

Before Pup Quiz started, Reeves and Fallon had a conversation, Fallon recalling when he saw the actor at a restaurant and had a single olive delivered to his table. Reeves responded with a bigger surprise.
