Dolly PartonandKeanu Reeveshave a surprising connection!
“She did a lot of sewing for me, she did a lot of my clothes,” Parton, 77, said onThe Drew Barrymore Showon Monday.
“But I remember Keanu when he was just little," she continued. “And she would bring him over to my house when we were fitting or when I would go to the shop where she worked.”
The “9 to 5” singer also recalled reuniting withThe Matrixstar years later.
Parton told hostDrew Barrymoreshe was “doing a show somewhere” and Reeves — who “was already famous at the time” — knocked on her door.
“He said, ‘Do you remember me? I’m the little boy that used to sit at your feet when my mom was [working],” she recalled. “Of course I knew he had become a star but it didn’t connect to me that that was who that was.”
Barrymore, 48, also told the singer that Reeves’ wore thePlayboyBunny costume — a tidbit he revealed onJada Pinkett Smith’sRed Table Talktwo years ago.
“Did he? Aw, that’s sweet,” Parton said. “He’s great. He’s the sweetest guy.”

In 2021, Reeves reflected on the moment while chatting on Pinkett Smith’s talk show after a fan asked him about his favorite Halloween costumes growing up.
TheJohn Wickstar said that “somehow” Parton did not take the cover outfit home, “and so we had it, and it was Halloween.”
“So I put on the ears and the bustier. I wore sneakers with fishnet stockings and the bowtie. I had some pretty long hair,” he continued. “And I was Dolly Parton’sPlayboyBunny.”

During herThe Drew Barrymore Showappearance, Parton also discussedher recent recreation of the ‘70s look.
“You’re probably wondering why I’m dressed like this,” she began the clip. “Well, it’s for my husband’s birthday. Remember some time back I said I was gonna pose onPlayboymagazine when I’m 75? Well, I’m 75 and they don’t have a magazine anymore, but my husband always loved the original cover ofPlayboy.”
“I was trying to think of something to do to make him happy,” she said of her husband of over five decades. “He still thinks I’m a hot chick after 57 years and I’m not gonna try to talk him out of that.”
