Keanu is a gentle giant, says Robin Wright Penn
London, June 20: `Matrix` star Keanu Reeves has been described as a "gentle giant" by his co-star Robin Wright Penn.

Robin, who was most recently in news after her husband actor Sean Penn, filed for divorce and then promptly withdrew the request, said that Reeves who stars with her in the upcoming `The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee` was a kind person who put her at ease quickly, reported a news website.

"I thought he was quite good actually, he`s perfect for it, he`s a gentle giant. I feel like we were blessed to have him do it, because it didn`t feel strange. The dynamic was already there," said the actress who was a part of the jury at this year`s Cannes Film Festival.

Robin and Reeves play a quirky couple in the film which also stars Winona Ryder, Julianne Moore and Blake Lively and the 43-year-old actress said that the actor bonded well with the cast which was dominated by women.

"He`s very comfortable around girls, thank God because it was a full set of girls!" added Robin.
