After the excerpts were released, Matthew told People in an Oct. 26 statement, “I’m actually a big fan of Keanu. I just chose a random name, my mistake. I apologize. I should have used my own name instead.”
During the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books event, Matthew said he has yet to apologize to Keanu in person. “If I run into the guy, I’ll apologize,” he added. “It was just stupid.”
