Keanu Reeves was chased by an obsessive fan who called herself his ‘divine’ wife as he left his Broadway show.
The actor, 61, is currently starring in Jamie Lloyd’s adaptation of Samuel Beckett’s play Waiting For Godot at the Hudson Theater.
The shocking footage sees the woman try to break into Keanu’s car and scream that she is his ‘divine wife’ before being dragged away bodyguards and falling to the ground.
In a clip filmed by another fan, Keanu steps out of the theatre after his performance and is seen shyly waving to his adoring fans at stage door.
He then walks through the crowd and past bodyguards before getting in a black chauffeured car to head home for the night.
However as he does so, a woman runs forward to try and open the door as Keanu’s bodyguards try to pull her back.

‘Let go of me.’ she says to the bodyguards, before shouting at the car: ‘Keanu, it’s your divine wife!’
‘Keanu! Keanu!’ she shouts, before running round to the other side of the car and adding: ‘Don’t let them hurt me.’
The car turns around preparing to drive off and she manages to reach the passenger side, before pulling at the handle to try and break in to get to Keanu.
The uncomfortable footage sees two men grab onto her and pull her by force away from the car, with another heard saying: ‘Get her out of here. Get her out of here.’
The woman then falls to the ground, landing on her back, before getting up and shouting after the car.
‘You guys need a restraining order on this one,’ the man filming the altercation is heard saying. ‘Why you bugging out?’
Keanu, who recently denied rumours he had wed his longtime partner, was branded ‘stiff’ on stage by New York Post’s Johnny Oleksinski after his debut performance in September – as it was claimed he ‘struggled’ through the show as Estragon.
The star appeared influenced by his on-stage alter-ego – playing tramp Estragon on stage.

In the New York Post review, the performance landed a meagre two star rating with criticism levelled at Reeves, with the review reading: ‘He doesn’t imbue any of Gogo’s lines with meaning — only speed and breathiness.
‘They’re just memorized words that are read with the investment of stating one’s Social Security number.
‘The actor relies on a vacant stare that’s money when he’s playing an assassin on the big screen. Not so much in live theater.’
The Guardian critic Adrian Horton gave the production three stars, and praised Reeves’s chemistry with his Bill & Ted co-star Alex Winter, 60.
‘Luckily, there’s Bill & Ted to save the day. The reunion of Winter and Reeves provides a shiny, pleasing lacquer of nostalgia over the proceedings, their comedic chemistry still unmatched and irreproducible.
‘The two longtime friends lend lines such as «together again at last …» a jolt of delight, with a couple extra-textual treats to boot.’

Keanu originally met Alexandra at a dinner party in 2009 before contributing poetry to two of her books, Ode to Happiness in 2011 and Shadows in 2016.
Following rumours they secretly wed, Keanu posted a PDA snap of the couple captioned: ‘This is a real photo. Not an engagement photo or an AI wedding announcement… simply a kiss!
‘I’m sharing it here to say thank you to everyone for the congratulations on our wedding.
‘Except we didn’t get married. Good news is much needed these days, but it’s still fake news, so be careful out there! So, here’s a bit of real happiness!’
