A very awkward Keanu Reeves went viral after he was straddled by a Broadway icon during a ‘sensual’ Tony Awards 2025 performance on Sunday.

The Speed star, 60, was sat unsuspecting in his chair at New York City‘s Radio City Music Hall when Jonathan Groff performed a high-octane rendition of Mack The Knife from his Bobby Darin musical, Just In Time.

However, Groff – who starred with Reeves in 2021 flop The Matrix Resurrections – then leapt onto Reeves’ chair with his legs either side of the shocked star’s face as he sang.

A stunned Reeves screamed and gazed up between Groff’s legs – before doing a rock on sign, as a cheeky Groff grabbed his chest – before jumping off the chair.

Fans took to social media to laud the shock moment, with one fan writing: ‘Jonathan Groff climbing over Keanu Reeves in the audience and then straddling him while performing at the Tonys omg lol.

Others wrote: ‘Keanu Reeves already won the Tonys with this moment.

During his Just In Time medley, Groff (pictured) leapt at Reeves, with wild fans calling the incident ‘sensual’

‘Watching Jonathan Groff sensually live on the side of Keanu Reeves’ face on live television might have been my Roman Empire.

‘Jonathan Groff said he was going to shoot his shot with Keanu Reeves and I respect that.

‘Jonathan Groff flirting with and singing to Keanu Reeves wasn’t something I had on my Tonys bingo card but I’m here for it.’

Other humorous moments occurred during the awards ceremony, such as Oprah Winfrey and host Cynthia Erivo taking part in a Wicked skit.

Erivo had just kicked off her major role as emcee for the night, and was suddenly joined by Winfrey as she made her way from backstage to the main stage.

The pair then recreated the finger-holding moment between Erivo and her co-star Ariana Grande as they promoted Wicked.

However, some viewers labeled Winfrey’s brief cameo ‘unnecessary’ with one penning on X: ‘Oprah had to ruin the moment. Of course she had to put herself in the beginning #TonyAwards.’

Another wrote, ‘Oprah was unnecessary #TonyAwards,’ while one added, ‘Why does Oprah have to be in everything?’
