Keanu Reeves doesn't appear to ever lose his cool, but that doesn't mean the John Wick star isn't rattled from time to time.

So last month, when not one, but two female intruders paid a visit to the 50-year-old actor's Hollywood Hills, Calif., home, he was understandably alarmed! Reeves, who obtained a temporary restraining order against the second intruder, addressed the incidents in a Reddit AMA Monday, saying, "Yeah, I guess my security wasn't good enough...it's better now!"

"And, uh, it was really scary," he went on. "The first time was at like 4 in the morning on a Saturday, and it was scary."

Thank goodness he knows kung fu! On a much lighter note, Reeves was asked who was "the biggest movie star" he could count as a friend. "Uh, let's see," he wrote, "The biggest movie star I'm friends with would be... uh... Sandra Bullock! Yeah, through the years we kinda get together, have a dinner, catch up, see how it's going."

Reeves and Bullock worked together on Speed back in 1984. During the actor's Reddit AMA, he recalled a fun day of filming "when they let us drive down the street smashing through cars on the bus. And everyone started to scream, hehe, and then laugh when it was over, and it really bonded everyone together," he wrote. "It was early on in the filming, yeah, but it was really fun to be smashing through cars!"

He also recalled the experience of working with the late Dennis Hopper. "Gosh, I got to know him over the years and I'd first worked with Dennis on a film called River's Edge, and it was cool to see him again while we were making SPEED," he wrote. "And something that I thought I would never do in my life was have a fight scene with Dennis Hopper on top of a subway car! Heheh! And it was just - it was a really good day. He had such a wonderful intelligence and sense of humor. So the chance to spend time with him was one of the highlights of my life."

Reeves reassured fans he was "not immortal (unfortunately)," revealed he prefers to play "Heroes....But complicated heroes," and lastly, gave a minor update on the status of Bill and Ted 3. "We are currently trying to...get the rights to the story, and get the go," he wrote. "And if that comes together, then maybe we'll get to tell the story!"

Team Keanu! BTW, John Wick hits theaters Oct. 24.
