A Nicki Swift survey of 565 people revealed that 37.17% of respondents want to see Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock date. Second place was captured by Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, whose “Titanic” pairing prompted almost 30% of those surveyed to choose them. Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer’s on-screen “Friends” romance resonated with about 18%, and “Bridget Jones’s Diary” co-stars Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth pulled in a respectable 15%.
What is it that makes Reeves and Bullock such a clear winner? They shared great on-screen chemistry in 1994’s “Speed” and have always remained friends. In addition, it turns out they crushed on one another while filming “Speed.” During an “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” appearance, Bullock described Reeves as sweet and handsome, as she admitted she frequently giggled in his presence. In a separate “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” appearance, DeGeneres asked Reeves if he’d known while filming “Speed” that Bullock had a crush on him. He said he didn’t, and added, “She obviously didn’t know I had a crush on her, either.”
Another time, Bullock told Esquire she once mentioned to Reeves she’d never had Champagne and truffles. A few days later, Reeves showed up to drop off Champagne and truffles for her. The two worked together again for 2006’s “The Lake House,” but alas, a real-life romance again failed to materialize. Both Reeves and Bullock moved on to other relationships, but fans seemingly still love the idea of the two getting romantically involved.
