Nicholson Joke Angers Keanu

Veteran star Jack Nicholson has disgusted his new co-star Keanu Reeves - by asking a beggar for money.

The Hollywood hell-raiser, who is currently shooting the as-yet-untitled Nancy Meyers project in Los Angeles, was walking with Keanu during a break in filming when the homeless person approached them - so Nicholson asked him for cash.

However, while the About Schmidt star found the episode hilarious, explaining he enjoyed "freaking out" people, Reeves fell out with him.

A on-set source explains, "Jack thought it was funny but Keanu didn't. Keanu believes performers have a duty to look after their fans.

"He also reckons that well-off people like himself should do their best to help the homeless.

"Things were a bit frosty between the pair on the set after that."
