Is Keanu Reeves immortal? Unveiling the eternal enigma
Aging or ageless: decoding the secrets behind his timeless charm
© Getty Images
Despite currently being in his late fifties, Keanu Reeves appears nearly identical to his appearance in 'Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure' (1989). The Internet has raised suspicions about possible supernatural phenomena at play. A website called "Keanu Is Immortal" has been created to present evidence supporting the theory that Reeves is actually thousands of years old and connected to historical figures who met mysterious deaths.
At the SXSW Film Festival premiere of 'John Wick: Chapter 4' on March 13, 2023, Reeves was asked about the rumors surrounding his immortality. During the Q&A session that followed the screening, a fan inquired about whether he ages, to which he responded, "Yeah man, I age. I really—I age. It's happening, man." His tone carried a hint of weariness that made it almost convincing that he truly understands the process of aging.
During the post-screening event, Reeves mentioned that he kept John Wick's wedding ring from the previous movies. In response, someone from the crowd exclaimed, "I'll marry you!" and he humorously replied, "Yeah, be careful what you wish for." Indeed, it could be challenging to maintain a relationship with someone who is immortal, as their eternal youth would contrast with one's own aging process.
For those seeking visual evidence, a gallery showcasing the many ways in which Reeves has remained unchanged is available for viewing.
