Bill and Ted stars Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter look shockingly youthful as they reunite at Tony Awards 2025
Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter had Bill & Ted fans buzzing as they reunited on the red carpet at the 78th Annual Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall on Sunday.
The John Wick star, 60, and his longtime friend and co-star, 59, looked thrilled to be back together decades after their breakout roles in the cult 1989 comedy Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.
Dressed in classic black tuxedos, the actors looked worlds away from the laid-back, time-traveling teen slackers who once rounded up historical figures for a high school history project.
The pair lit up the star-studded event ahead of their highly anticipated Broadway debut in Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot.
But it wasn't just the reunion that had fans in a frenzy—it was the duo's shockingly youthful appearance, with the iconic pair looking almost ageless nearly 40 years after they first shared the screen.

The pair's healthy glow comes as they are preparing for the latest adaptation of Samuel Beckett's existential classic Waiting for Godot.
Reeves – who is known as the nicest guy in Hollywood – makes his Broadway debut as Estragon and Winter will be Vladimir in the play which will run in 2025 in an as-yet- to-be-disclosed theater on the Great White Way.
'We're incredibly excited to be on stage together and work with the great Jamie Lloyd in one of our favorite plays,' Reeves, 59, and Winter, 59, said in a joint statement.
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure was a surprise box office hit, grossing over $40 million on a modest $10 million budget.
Its success led to a 1991 sequel, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, which took the duo on a bizarre ride through heaven, hell, and the afterlife, earning a devoted cult following.
Nearly three decades later, Reeves and Winter reprised their roles in Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020).
The 78th Annual Tony Awards, the most prestigious ceremony honoring theatre, is showing off the best of Broadway and beyond tonight.
The show is being held on the hallowed stage of Radio City Music Hall and it is hosted by three-time Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo.
The three-hour show, which starts at 8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PT, can be watched live on CBS or streamed on Paramount+ with Showtime. Users with the Paramount+ Essential subscription will have the option to begin watching the show on the following day.
This year features major star power in the lead actor and actress categories.
George Clooney is competing for his massively successful play Good Night, And Good Luck — an adaptation of the film of the same name that he directed, co-wrote and costarred in — for the lead actor in a play category, while acting legend Mia Farrow is competing against Succession star Sarah Snook and Stranger Things star Sadie Sink in the lead actress in a play category.
Darren Criss and Jonathan Groff are adding some star power to the lead actor in a musical category, while Megan Hilty, Nicole Scherzinger and Broadway legend Audra McDonald are some of the biggest names in the lead actress in a musical category.
Bob Odenkirk is best known for his film and television work, including his acclaimed run on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, but he's now nominated in the Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Play category for his turn in the revival of David Mamet's iconic drama of desperation, Glengarry Glen Ross.
Presenters this year include Charli D'Amelio, Michelle Williams, Hacks' Jean Smart, LaTanya Richardson Jackson and Lea Salonga, all of whom are currently appearing on Broadway.
The stage icon Kristin Chenoweth will also be presenting, while Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter will have a Bill and Ted reunion on stage ahead of their upcoming production of Samuel Beckett's Waiting For Godot. Glee star Lea Michele will also be joined on stage by Aaron Tveit.
Several former Tony winners will be helping to announce awards, including Oprah Winfrey, Bryan Cranston, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Sarah Paulson, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Kelli O'Hara and Rachel Bay Jones.
And the other presenters aren't exactly slouches, as several of them have Oscars and Grammy Awards to their names. They include Ben Stiller, Samuel L. Jackson, Katie Holmes, Jesse Eisenberg, Allison Janney, Ariana DeBose, Adam Lambert, Carrie Preston, Danielle Brooks and Sara Bareilles.
Going into the 2025 ceremony, three musicals are leading the pack with 10 nominations each: Buena Vista Social Club, Death Becomes Her and Maybe Happy.
Buena Vista Social Club is inspired by the beloved Cuban ensemble of the same name, which recorded a hit eponymous album in 1997 and was documented in Wim Wenders' acclaimed documentary (also of the same name) in 1999.
Death Becomes Her is based on the Robert Zemeckis fantastical black comedy from 1992, which starred Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn and Bruce Willis.
Unlike those musicals, which are adapted from existing music and films, Maybe Happy is a science fiction–romance that originated in South Korea. It follows two android helper-bots who develop feelings for each other, despite the fact that their short life spans threaten any future plans.
Dead Outlaw, John Proctor Is The Villain, Sunset Blvd. and The Hills Of California are all tied for seven Tony nominations, while Floyd Collins, Justin In Time, Purpose and The Picture Of Dorian Gray are tied for six.
Dead Outlaw and Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical are also competing in the Best Musical category, while English, The Hills Of California, John Proctor Is The Villain, Oh, Mary! and Purpose are vying for Best Play.
Purpose and English have already been honored with Pulitzer Prizes.
This year's nominated revivals include Eureka Day, Romeo + Juliet, Thornton Wilder's Our Town and David Henry Hwang's Yellow Face in the play category, while Floyd Collins, Gypsy, Pirates! The Penzanze Musical and Sunset Blvd. fill out the Best Revival of a Musical category.
The performances this year will highlight all of the new and revived musical nominees, as well as Just In Time and Real Women Have Curves, which weren't nominated in best musical or revival but did receive other major nominations.
The 2025 Tonys will look to the past as well with a tribute to Hamilton for its 10th anniversary as the original cast reunites for a performance.
Miranda will be accompanied by Leslie Odom Jr., Phillipa Soo, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Daveed Diggs, Ariana DeBose, Jonathan Groff and Christopher Jackson, all of whom were part of the original production.
Erivo, 38, was better known for her work in the theatre before expanding into a successful film and television career.
The Wicked Star — who recently stirred up controversy when she was announced as the star of a production of Jesus Christ Superstar being held at the Hollywood Bowl in August — is already three-quarters of the way toward completing the rare and coveted EGOT after winning an Emmy, a Grammy and a Tony.
Along the way, she also received nominations for four Golden Globe Awards, two British Academy Film Awards and two Screen Actors Guild Awards.
She previously starred on Broadway in the popular adaptation of The Color Purple, which led to her performing its song I'm Here at the 2016 Tonys.

Nicole Scherzinger shares a passionate kiss with her supportive fiancé Thom Evans after tearfully winning her first Tony Award
planted a celebratory kiss on her fiancé Thom Evans, after emotionally accepting her first ever Tony Award at the star-studded 78th ceremony on Sunday night, at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The Pussycat Dolls singer, 46, won the Best Leading Actress in a Musical award for her performance of fading Hollywood star Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard, based on the 1950 film noir of the same name by Billy Wilder. Sobbing as she took to the stage to accept the gong, she gave a special shout out to Thom, thanking him for 'believing in me when I forget to believe in myself.' And as Nicole spoke to press in the media room, the former rugby player, 40, was quick to congratulate his stunning fiancée and give her a sweet kiss. During her acceptance speech, the actress broke down in tears as she confessed: 'Growing up I always felt like I didn't belong, but you all have made me feel like I belong, and I have come home at last.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She added: 'I'm so honored to be recognized alongside these exceptional warrior women in this category. I want to thank you all so much for making this little Hawaiian/ Ukrainian/ Filipino girl's dream come true. So proud to represent.' As well as Thom, Nicole also thanked her family, including her mother, stating she 'had me at 18 and gave everything up for me.' While she also paid tribute to the crew of the musical, thanking composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and gushing: 'It has been such an honor to be able to create with you the past 15 years.' And voicing her gratitude and appreciation for producer Jamie Lloyd, she added: 'Jamie, you saw in me what no one else did. You have given us all new ways to dream and you have changed my life forever.' Nicole wrapped up her emotional speech with an inspiring message, saying: 'If there's anyone out there who feels like they don't belong, or your time hasn't come, don't give up. 'Just keep on giving and giving, because the world needs your love and your light now more than ever. This is a testament that love always wins. Thank you so much. God Bess you.' She also took to the stage to give the audience a glimpse of her award-winning performance, as she sang As If We Never Said Goodbye from the show. Nicole first met Thom when he appeared as a contestant on the celebrity edition of the X Factor in 2019, while she was a judge.

They soon hit it off with Thom gushing he knew Nicole was 'the one' since they met, admitting: 'Within the first couple of days with Nicole it was just awesome, and it has been awesome ever since.' The ex-Glasgow Warriors rugby league player popped the question while on holiday in Portugal back in July 2023. Taking to Instagram to share the special moment at the time, Nicole wrote : 'I said yes,' along with a ring emoji. And last week, the singer revealed they were finally set to tie the knot, once her run in Sunset Boulevard comes to an end in just over a months time. Speaking on US radio, she confirmed: ' Yes, we will get married. We're engaged to be married when I'm not working. Thank God he is so patient. 'I've had to be disciplined to make sure I get six to eight hours [sleep] because my voice is my everything so I kind of live like a hermit. I don't do much, I just drink a lot of water.' Nicole previously enjoyed an eight-year, on-off relationship with Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton and a shorter romance with tennis player Grigor Dimitrov. While Thom's former girlfriends include model and actress Kelly Brook - who herself is set to wed boyfriend Jeremy Parisi 'in the coming weeks'. The ex-Glasgow Warriors rugby league player popped the question while on holiday in Portugal back in July 2023 In 2021, Thom opened up on his relationship with Nicole, telling how he was 'massively punching above my weight!' and exclaimed: 'I've hit the jackpot'. Speaking to The Sun, he made it very clear that he feels lucky to be with Nicole as he explained: 'Nobody is asking Nicole how she got with me because I'm massively punching (above my weight). She's so easy and fun to be around. I've hit the jackpot.' He explained: 'It wasn't even in my thought process to try it on with Nicole because it would have been unprofessional and she's so lovely and stunning in every possible way. I was just like, "She's out of my league". The former Scottish international rugby union player went on to say that it was his grandmother who inspired him to 'pluck up the courage' and talk to Nicole as he recalled her motto: 'If you don't ask, you don't get'. Thom reflected that he rejected the idea of sliding into the pop star's DMs as he didn't think it was the 'done thing' and would be 'awkward', but instead felt it was right to have an old fashioned face-to-face conversation. He added that he's 'really grateful' that their relationship began 'naturally' during their 'intimate first meeting', with the hunk insisting he's 'never looked back'.

Who is Love Island 2025 bombshell Antonia Laites?
MAYA Jama teased that an American girl would be the first bombshell to enter the famous villa in 2025. The Sun exclusively revealed the identity of the latest Love Islander as Antonia Laites — here's everything we know about her. 4 4 Who is Antonia Laites? Antonia Laites, or Toni as she will be known on Love Island 2025, hails from Connecticut, USA. She currently lives and works in Las Vegas as a pool cabana server at the exclusive Fontainebleau Resort. A source told The Sun: 'Being Love Island 's first bombshell of the series is a big deal and is always reserved for the sexiest cast members. 'In the past it's been the likes of Davide, Uma and even Ekin-Su on All Stars. 'Toni landed as part of a huge first day and everyone is very excited.' Just hours after the The Sun revealed the bombshell's identity, ITV confirmed the news. Agonising pain Ahead of entering the villa, Toni shared that she is battling an illness that leaves her in agonising pain. She said: "I have ulcerative colitis. I had to go to hospital the same week as my senior prom. "They told me, 'You can't go' and then they said, 'Surprise, you're going to prom!' "Nothing that exciting happens in Connecticut, so it was a big deal and a few articles were written about me." Maya Jama demands 'more drama and twists than ever' in new Love Island series trailer She added: "What I hope people see from me being on Love Island is that not all illnesses are visible. "It doesn't have to hold you back, you can travel etc… I live my life day-to-day like anyone else." In an interview with ITV, Toni said she is looking for "someone that can make me laugh". She added: "I'm super outgoing. And someone that's quite active. Maybe one day we could start our own family together." I think all Americans love a good accent. British men are just more polite, with better manners Antonia LaitesITV When asked why she wants to date a British guy, Toni replied: "I've lived in three different states and I'm still single. It's time to try something new! "I have some British friends and they're pretty charming. I think all Americans love a good accent. "British men are just more polite, with better manners." When is Antonia Laites Joining Love Island 2025? Toni is one of the contestants on the show's 12th season, which premiers at 9pm on Monday, June 9, 2025. Rather than being one of the initial batch of Islanders who enter the villa at the very start of the series, Toni will join the cast as the Love Island 2025 's first bombshell. But she won't have to wait long — she will strut into the villa on the very first day to shake up the action from the off. In the trailer for this year's series, host Maya Jama said she wants the show to be packed with more 'twists and turns'. She said: "This year Love Island needs something bigger, something bolder, I want ideas. "This year I want more drama, more bombshells, more break-ups, more makeups. "I want more twists, I want more twists than ever." Teasing bombshell Toni's arrival in a video shared on social media, Maya played a voice note she received on her phone out loud. "Hey Maya, I heard you want more twists," Toni was heard saying. "How about an American bombshell?" she continued. "Get ready, I'm on my way!"
