Hollywood beauty Rachel Weisz nearly drowned whilst filming new movie CONSTANTINE after co-star Keanu Reeves pinned her underwater in a bath.

The ABOUT A BOY star struggled to breathe after the MATRIX actor was deliberately instructed to hold her under water for longer than she could handle.

She says, "The director said that he wanted Keanu not to go easy on me. He wanted it to look real.

"So he was holding me down. It was really scary.

"I mean, there was a moment in which I was not acting any more."
