Recalling the moment, Lance revealed, “It’s so funny because the first time I ever met Ian was in the scene at the end of John Wick: Chapter 2. So I’ve been a fan but I’d never met him before. As a matter of fact, when I first met Ian, I was being very weird because I was kind of tongue-tied and he was just – ‘Hey man how are you doing,’ and I was like – ‘Oh, uh, huh?’, and he was looking at me like – ‘what’s the matter with you, are you okay?’ (laughs) That’s really when we became friends.”

The chemistry between the two actors enhances the overall viewing experience, leaving a lasting impression on fans of the John Wick franchise.
