Keanu Reeves is remembering the "intelligence" and "humor" of his *Something's Gotta Give *costar Diane Keaton after her death at 79. **

The 61-year-old actor was asked to share a memory of his experience working alongside Keaton on the Nancy Meyers-directed romantic comedy during a visit to *The Late Show with Stephen Colbert* on Monday. **

"We all know what an extraordinary, unique, special person and artist Diane is, was, and is," he began.

Reeves starred as Julian Mercer in the 2003 film, the doctor of Jack Nicholson's Harry who strikes up a romantic relationship with Keaton's Erica. However, he ultimately steps aside after having dinner with Harry and Erica and witnessing their chemistry. **

While Reeves was thrilled to be directed by Meyers, he explained that his favorite moment from the shoot was getting to simply sit and watch Keaton and Nicholson work.  **

"It was Diane and Jack Nicholson at the table in a restaurant in Paris and just watching those two legends not only act, but insult each other," he said gleefully. Talking to host Stephen Colbert, he added, "You got a taste of it. I saw the clip that you shared."

Earlier in the program, Colbert paid tribute to Keaton and recalled his experience "attempting to interview her" on a 2012 episode of his Comedy Central series, *The Colbert Report*. **

"It was so charmingly chaotic and one of my favorite interviews I have ever have the privilege of doing," Colbert said. "And, because for reasons that are still unclear to me, the corporation has taken down all of my old show. In honor of Ms. Keaton, I thought I would share it with you tonight here."**

The clip saw Keaton subvert actually talking about her 2011 memoir* Then Again *by engaging Colbert in a comedy riff-off that saw the pair taking hilarious jabs at each other on a variety of topics. "Before I encourage my viewers to buy the book, you have to say one f---ing thing about it," Colbert joked at one point, sending Keaton into a fit of uncontrollable laughter.

Reeves noted that Keaton deployed that same charming humor when she and Nicholson were filming. "She was almost like the same thing that she did to you, which was she would turn to Jack [and say], 'You're just a blah, blah, blah.' And he'd be like, 'Yeah, you dirty,'" he said. "They're just grinning but they're just *insulting* each other with love."

Reeves continued, "The intelligence. The humor. But just watching them just be themselves and with the history and the art that they've worked [together on]."

Details about Keaton's death have not been disclosed at this time, with a family spokesperson citing a desire for privacy "in this moment of great sadness."
