Never has a film star had so many renaissances as Keanu Reeves well, at least not while still looking so good. Hes beloved for his steely roles in high octane classics like Point Break, Speed and The Matrix, and while there are less beloved projects, we wont be discussing 47 Ronin here. Now that the John Wick franchise has brought Keanu back into the spotlight, any cinematic flops in which he starred may now be considered as experimental performance art.
So sure, we all know and love KR for his most iconic roles. But did you know that he was born in Beirut Or that Keanu was on track for a career as a professional hockey player until he was derailed by an injury Or that the "sad Keanu" meme was actually just a picture of the actor enjoying a sandwich alone Well, this book is packed with these tidbits, told in the only appropriate way: photocollage.
