Bill & Ted stars tell graduates ‘be excellent to each other’

Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter honoured the graduating seniors at San Dimas High School in California with a virtual salute this week, reminding fans their Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure characters were past students.

Introducing themselves in a special SDHS Special Message posted on YouTube, Winter said, “We know that it’s a tough time right now and you’re having to do this virtual graduation. We want to wish you the best of luck moving forward.”

His co-star added, “Congratulations to the graduating class of 2020. Well done.”

Winter closed out the short message by stating: “San Dimas High School football does rule, but most importantly, we wanted to tell you to be excellent to each other,” while Reeves added: “And party on!” quoting one of the cult movie’s most famous lines.

The actors reteamed as clueless San Dimas High School students for Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey in 1991 and a third film, Bill & Ted Face the Music, is scheduled for release later this year.
