Keanu Draws The Crowds At Anvil Film Premiere

Posted on 22. Oct, 2008 by Luciana in Appearances and Pictures

Actor Keanu Reeves stepped onto the red carpet in London last night (October 21st) for the premiere of a film about Canadian rock band Anvil.

Anvil! The Story of Anvil documents the band’s career, which began in Toronto in the 1970s.

Reeves, who was raised in Canada, told reporters that he remembered seeing posters of the group around his hometown.

Anvil’s frontman, Steve ‘Lips’ Kudlow, said the film showed how it was “OK to dream and it’s even better to live the dream”.

“Really what it’s all about is doing what makes you feel good about yourself,” he told the BBC.

Kudlow founded the band alongside his schoolfriend Robb Reiner. After moderate early success, including a support tour with Bon Jovi, Anvil failed to sustain widespread interest.

Other guests at the film premeiere included Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s wife, Sarah, whose brother worked on the project.

    I was there with some friends – front row of the cinema, was such a great and memorable evening – he is so lovely, tall and handsome in real life – didn’t get his autograph or picture with him, but just to see him enjoying himself and the film was really good. The band even came on stage at the end and Keanu was head banging a bit, so nice to see! amazing to have spent the evening with him (indirectly of course!) xx
