Keanu Reeves may be able to stop bullets in the movies, but in real life he's still subject to the laws of physics.
The 60-year-old Matrix actor lost control of his car over the weekend while making his professional racing debut at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The actor spun out in the middle of the race, but he didn't crash and finished the race unharmed.
The John Wick actor spun out on the grass on the exit of turn 9 about halfway through the 45-minute race. Reeves ran as high as 21st in Saturday's race and finished 25th. His teammate was Cody Jones from the sports and comedy group "Dude Perfect."
Reeves is competing in the Toyota GR Cup, an amateur-focused racing series. He placed 24th in a second race on Sunday.
The actor is driving the No. 92 BRZRKR car, which is promoting his graphic novel, "The Book of Elsewhere."
Reeves, a racing enthusiast and amateur racer, previously won a celebrity event in the 2009 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach.
The actor attended the Formula One British Grand Prix qualifying event in 2022, which he described as "thrilling."
"It was absolutely amazing to be that close. Silverstone and rain, perfect. I think being that close to it, just seeing the speed and the way that they're going at the turns and exiting the turns is something unbelievable."
