Matt Smith could not believe Keanu Reeves would be watching his film \u201cMorbius\u201d on a flight during Brittany Broski\u2019s \u201cRoyal Court,\u201d and fans could not have been more on board.<\/p>\n

The \u201cHouse of the Dragon\u201d star told the YouTuber to \u201cf\u2013k off\u201d on her show Wednesday in disbelief that Reeves \u2014 whom Smith described as one of the world\u2019s biggest movie stars \u2014 would be watching his Sony-Marvel film on a plane. Broski then asked the actor what he would watch on a flight.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot f\u2013king \u2018Morbius,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cJesus Christ. My God. He must have really gone through the BA [British Airways] library to get to that \u2026 He\u2019s on the valium or something.\u201d<\/p>\n

You can watch the moment yourself in the clip below.<\/p>\n

Smith did double down on his love for \u201cThe Matrix\u201d star, though, calling him a legend. <\/p>\n

\u201cI love Keanu Reeves, I just want to make that really clear,\u201d Smith declared to the camera.<\/p>\n

Released in 2022, \u201cMorbius\u201d stars Smith as Milo, the childhood friend to antihero Dr. Michael Morbius (Jared Leto). The movie was poorly reviewed and grossed only $167 million worldwide on a reported $75 million budget. Audiences gave it a C+ CinemaScore.<\/p>\n

Fans online loved that the \u201cDoctor Who\u201d star has an irreverence toward the Marvel film but praised him for being \u201cthe lone bright spot\u201d in the film. Another user found it hilarious that not even Smith himself could get behind the flop. <\/p>\n

LMFAO I love Matt Smith man. For as awful as Morbius was he was the lone bright spot https:\/\/t.co\/VDuoMxILwo<\/a><\/p>\n

Another X user wrote that he couldn\u2019t \u201cthink of a job harder than Matt Smith in \u2018Moribus.\u2019\u201d At the time, Smith took the negative reception on the chin, telling the Rolling Stone U.K. that \u201cyou just have to roll with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a film, at the end of the day, we\u2019re not saving lives. For whatever reason, it didn\u2019t quite work out,\u201d he said to the outlet at the time<\/a>. \u201cIt is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

One X user even theorized that Sony tricked him into doing the movie. Keep reading for more social reactions to the \u201cHouse of the Dragon\u201d star\u2019s viral moment.<\/p>\n

He carried that movie so hard\u2026. I can\u2019t think of a carry job harder than Matt Smith in Morbius now that I think about it https:\/\/t.co\/UWEg3BYI8C<\/a><\/p>\n

Sony def tricked him into doing that movie. “Yeah yeah, it’s a Marvel thing, like Spider-Man! \ud83d\ude09” https:\/\/t.co\/YOdZK6LQwq<\/a><\/p>\n

One of my beloved characters has become the butt of the joke. Sorry Morbius for what they have done to you. Fucking depressing bro https:\/\/t.co\/pXDSJ2AB7L<\/a><\/p>\n
