Talking about the movie, Reeves said, the duo is trying to write a song to save the entire universe. If they fail, "it's the end of the universe," the actor said, as quoted by Huffington Post. To which Colbert said, "You're facing your own mortality and the mortality of all existence, wow." The host then asked, "What do you think happens when we die, Keanu Reeves?" - a question that elicited laughter from the studio audience.

Reeves took his time, exhaled and gave an answer that is going viral on social media for all the right reasons: "I know that the ones who love us will miss us." Both Colbert and the audience struggled to find words.

A while later, the audience reacted with a collective "awww" and Colbert simply mouthed "wow" as he reached over to shake the actor's hand. His answer is winning the internet and for all the right reasons. People can't stop gushing over his take on life and death.

The answer may have germinated form the point that he had lost his longtime partner, Jennifer Syme, in a car crash in 2001. In 1999, she’d given birth eight months into her pregnancy to Ava Archer Syme-Reeves, who was stillborn. Others also pointed out that Colbert had lost loved ones tragically, too.
