Keanu Reeves still oozes Hollywood cool, even at 59.

Keanu Reeves – monastic, immortal, savage and intellectual – is a creature unto himself, a creature who has willed a kind of goodness into this world that defies the condition he was born into. Now held on a pedestal, Reeves refuses to be defined by the fame he has acquired over 50 years of his career, but never pulls away from the love and adoration of his fans.

In a generation defined by box office blockbusters and an era where profitability equates to survival in the film business, Keanu Reeves is hitting the ground running with one franchise film after another. And yet the actor remains honest about his roots, leaning more towards the Sad Keanu lifestyle than an actor looking for red carpet fan attractions.

Keanu Reeves' temperament has been the subject of myth, although his fame has had a more elusive fascination attached to it. So much so that former A-lister Charlie Sheen once famously joked, "Emilio [Estevez] and I are sitting there just scratching our heads thinking, 'How did this guy get in? How does Keanu work with Coppola and Bertolucci and I get no chance at that?'” That too, at a time when Sheen's A-list status was decisive and undisputed in the industry.
