EXCLUSIVE never-before-seen Bill and Ted auditions: Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves 2
Grainy audition tapes from 1986 - never been seen before by the public - show Keanu Reeves joking and auditioning with Alex Winter. The hilarious, 34-year-old footage includes the first time Reeves and Winter enthusiastically strummed their air guitars in unison, which would become a signature feature of the movie and its 1991 sequel, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey. Sources tell DailyMail.com that much of the instant chemistry and laughter came about when Reeves and Winter were in the same scenes and it was obvious they were perfect for the parts.

This isn't like watching Alex and Keanu audition for Bill and Ted. This is like watching Bill and Ted audition for the school play. And I love it.

A most triumphant observation.
I'm sure Bill and Ted were born to play Keanu Reeves and Alex Winters

No lie, who would’ve wanted to see a movie or TV episode of Bill and Ted doing all type of high school things, including theater class?
They really were born to play these characters and they really had perfect chemistry.
Something that not a lot of people understand is that it takes people with extraordinary intelligence to pretend to be people with low intelligence. These two are excellent.

Alex butting his head against the wall after Keanu reminds him that Missy is his stepmother killed me. Great improv by him if that wasnt in the script.
Who knew back then that Keanu would be one of the coolest, down to earth mega-stars in existence?

Bill got a lot more sweet and innocent. Alex played him a bit too dumb and abrasive here, but by the time he'd gotten to filming he had lightened it up considerably. Both he and Keanu did that. It was the smart decision.
This is what it looks like to enjoy your job.
I like that they dialed back the mild irritation or aggressive aspects of their personalities. Having them be carefree and happy was definitely the way to go. And Keanu & Alex played that so well.

He deserves another shot for Hollywood. He's got talent.
That enthusiastic "I fell out of the suit when I hit the ground!!" line pretty much sums up Bill and Ted for me. So stupid yet so hilarious.
The chemistry was born between them both. This is lovely
Just re-watched BATEA and it really holds up. Still super funny “Hey mom, these are our friends, Frank Beethoven, Fred the Kid, Bob Ghengis-Khan, Socrates Johnson, and um...um...Abraham Lincoln” 😂😂😂

That bit where Ted thinks Bill is talking about the Scarecrow rather than the Tinman, that almost seems out of character, they didn't get things wrong like that in the in the final movie. It's always interesting to see how characters evolve in the process.

Wow. Blast from the past! Haven't seen Alex since I was about 15, but you really see his magnetic personality here. I took dance with his mom, and we ended up at JCCA summer camps together. Four week sleep-away camp every summer! His rendition of Anything You Can Do absolutely brought down the house. He's also way smarter than he appears.
Takes me back decades and I love it!!!
Looks like home video in basement..fun
0:25 i cant with the way he says "check this OUt"
I hope they get the part 🤞🏻
I can’t believe the directors didn’t watch this before they cast them
I’m glad it’s winter time. Thank you Alex!!!
Can anyone imagine any other dudes in this? As for Keanu's legs... EXCELLENT!!!!
This is most excellent. 🎸🎸 🙂
It went from Triumphant T- shirts to Triumphant Video
I love this so much! It's clear as sunlight as to why they were cast in those roles. Party on Bill S. Preston Esq. and Ted "Theodore" Logan! Thank you for finally making that third movie!
I desperately want to do a _Bill & Ted_ RPG session with these two!
“So-Crates” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This video is most excellent dudes
Wow so long ago!
They were born for this.
They just ARE / WERE these characters.
Wow am i late to the party watching this. Amazing job. One can only imagine the work the lads put in to learn all those dorky lines and deliver them on point...

Alex had the face and hair of a cherub angel or renaissance statue…breathtaking ❤️
'most triumphant' already had me laughing
Another thing that connected Keanu and Alex was their connection to the UK. Alex was born in the UK, while Keanu's mother was born in the UK.
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen
Excellent!!!
