Keanu Reeves: "People started to do funny things with that Sad Keanu"

Keanu Reeves chats with Eve Jackson about the Sad Keanu meme phenomenon, and responds to Encore! viewers' questions.

[@dodoz44]

He was joking about death. You can see he's actually sad because he's immortal and becoming sick of it. Too many thousands of years lived on this sad planet.

[@Jakynast]

Yeah, too many of his friends, wives and children dying before him... I can get why Keanu is sad.

[@GuillermoValleCosmos]

+dodoz44 He's sad coz he can't share such a gift with the rest of us, yet..

[@BuckfastConsumer]

Man this seemed to confirm it to me.lol. Mad

[@johnjuanmoon]

This man is the Antichrist - its on film. On a side note, I'm pretty sure this reporter wants to sleep with him.

[@tox2004]

Yea I got that vibe too. lol

[@Sanchez9531]

This man knows much more than he's telling to people.

[@e30l4]

I think he suffers from depression..he's had a pretty tragic life :/

[@Sanchez9531]

depression is there to teach you something. he's already over it. he is kind of enlightened person.

[@OheyBro]

ugkgirl l tragic life? What happened to him?

[@angelfire1987]

Billius Weasley his daughter was still born, then a year later his girlfriend died in a car accident. She was driving alone. In 2006 there was an article where he said he was still grieving, but that he felt he was making a turnaround. Hopefully now he's in a much better place. I hope the guy can show with John Wick that he's still got it. For me he'll always be one of the best.

[@TheCommentNinja81]

I like this interview. He's great and I agree with you. He's deep. He's up there with JCVD ! :)

[@Hashpotato]

the funny thing is it looks like he literally just left that bench to do the interview, same clothes same hair.

[@AGrayPhantom]

Holy crap, you're right! Well, he's not the kind of guy to have a huge wardrobe.

[@mickyhouse8753]

+AGrayPhantom HAHAHAHA this comment nearly made me choke

[@noncontrollable]

+AGrayPhantom but i love it on him... I mean he's so normal, not like these other big stars who have bodyguards and limos, he's really similar to Norman Reedus, real human. And that sad Keanu picture is awesome, it could be in some museum as an art stuff :D

[@AGrayPhantom]

T Urbo It really is a work of art. Looking at it really cheers me up.

[@noncontrollable]

+AGrayPhantom it's like a movie scene, he's just awesome

[@Alan-lh9jh]

He is a historical figure.

[@aguirronunbound]

Awesome, I applaud your comment

[@ThinkingChair]

I get it. Haha.

[@36isnotold]

I'm cruising KZbin trying to find one interviewer who will ask him that question. Maybe it's on his 'do not ask list'.

[@36isnotold]

MetrazolElectricity oh come on, for five hundred years old, he's adorable.

[@SeraphimRoad]

Ted from Bill and Ted where literately historical, dude!

[@shogrran]

One of a very few celebrities I still respect as a person.

[@sirenonland3454]

When he speaks he's very real. It's refreshing.

[@pacoval4577]

Cool guy. This world needs non-pretentious people like him.

[@thecrackaddict4640]

Check his AMA on Reddit.

[@spera2919]

Jenna Ask Me Anything

[@bilbobolsonaro1316]

yeah but he needs to learn acting

[@JordanBeagle]

Paco Val Like Hugh Jackman, he's also awesome

[@SerpentGirl21]

larry capinga let's pretend like you can do a better job for a moment...feel better?

[@wizard380]

of course he's not afraid of aging....he's imortal

[@reignofhope]

Marcus T the E is silent, you pronounce "ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" the same way you pronounce "ONE".

[@Destro7000]

+robert istrate I wish he was!

[@dimitriosdesmos4699]

no, no, excuse me, ....uh, i am the immortal?? thanks

[@AnnaLVajda]

He just said he was and she laughed that off too why ask him then ignore his responses?

[@raiden7358]

50? Lol the guy hasnt aged since the 1800s

[@heyjeySigma]

hahaha. and it's funnier when he says near the end that "getting old = death". that only applies to us normal folk

[@cry2love]

Damn, your comment hilarious !

[@TarebossT]

*1800 B.C.

[@Fridgemusa]

The man himself seems more fascinating to me than the characters he portrays.

[@anhhuynh8656]

Well, I cannot agree more :)

[@gghice1]

someone needs to write a film with him playing Keanu Reeves

[@sungazer9155]

Kind, pure, honest, sensitive, passionate, intense, wise. "I'm normal", ageing "it's ok". You are so awake you seem to be asleep

[@ricochet188]

He's 50? Holy shit

[@crashpal]

ricochet188 he was already in his 20s when he did Bill and Ted back in the 80s

[@EJsTV]

ricochet188 Now we know what he was sad about

[@crashpal]

EJsTV he's sad because he's immortal and can't die. There is a 1875 old picture of him

[@johnc7422]

ricochet188 doesnt he smoke too?

[@ricochet188]

John C Probably, lots of people do

[@RNG-999]

Keanu is immortal. "what do you think about turning 50 and aging?" "Aging? oh yeah.. Ohhh.. Well, it's normal. Live today, die one day." "Yeah... Aging.."

[@zecraw]

"Aging?...(mutters to himself:) "Oh, that's right, you people do that..."

[@NinjaSushi2]

Heh

[@renesub2268]

The 1000th like from me. The conversion of 999 to 1k kinda looks cool.

[@annalisavajda252]

Considering his ex girlfriend and other friends of his have died I think you are minimizing him emotionally it's rude and insensitive of you.

[@sasiyuniati3149]

Kamu lihat aja wajah suamiku keanu reeves masih terlihat bagus. Klo orang yang pernah berhubungan intim sebelum nikah akan kelihatan tua. Gimana suamiku keanu reeves,? Masih kelihatan muda ato tua keriput? Kamu tau mickey rourke? Kelihatan tua n keriput.

[@RichardHorpe]

That "It's okay" packs so much fucking wisdom that I almost exploded.

[@nefejames]

StannyBWrath lol true

[@signifidelica2819]

new ringtone

[@KyranSparda]

It's just that warm smile after he said it, gets me every time. It's almost like he's comforting the audience instead of us comforting him.. :(

[@ryankennedy5781]

You're definitely right. You can tell it came straight from the heart with true confidence in what he believes in mentally, emotionally, and physically about himself, as well as his facial expression.

[@sissi8610]

StannyBWrath, I almost exploded in laughter reading your comment, so funny!

[@Butmunch666]

His behaviour is so odd, It just seems like he reached enlightenment. I'm calling it...he ascended. :)

[@janc.3241]

it's extremely odd that I was thinking the exact same thing

[@koushikraja331]

well, he is the one.

[@anhhoatruong]

well

[@bobjames2906]

hes on the Autistic spectrum my friend, so you are partly right.... plus the guy understands Tai Chi. nuff said

[@Caaarrl94]

read about his life, for him to even still be alive, he must be at total peace with himself

[@jrjubach]

He would make a phenomenal parent. I feel so bad for him. We love you, Keanu.

[@BuckfastConsumer]

Yeah man😢

[@uchihaitachi34]

Jubach indeed

[@starfox300]

Maybe he is a parent?

[@Mf7d89]

No his baby did at birth. Also the mother

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

And his sister also passed away sadly

[@Destro7000]

He's too chilled out for interviews :D

[@TenTonNuke]

One of my favorite things about Keanu is that he doesn't rush to give a safe answer or to fill silences. He thinks about his answer first and answers honestly, which can make for some awkward interview pacing.

[@Mysticmimi7]

These interviewers annoy me ! Gosh, leave him alone and stop trying to analyse him just because he's a bit shy and really calm.

[@uchihaitachi34]

Mimi shawi also his wife had died

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

+uchihaitachi34 He's never been married. His ex-girlfriend died after they had broken up.

[@fayHoran]

@@sarcasticallyrearranged ex girlfriend and their unborn baby as well..

[@AnaVerona_]

He is sooo smart and calm... He is hundreds years old! Hahaha!!!

[@noahd924]

Ana Verona its true

[@ThePhantomLion]

Keanu Reeves should play a vampire, since he ages like one.

[@safdoo]

Count Dracula? Remake?

[@jdcaprio2000]

Agreed

[@farid1406]

He killed a vampire. He might kill you too.

[@anthonymilum2087]

Keanu reeves the vampire that protects the humans

[@melanie.l6282]

Phantom it,s stupid

[@prash175]

He is the chosen one.

[@noahd924]

PRASHANT TIWARI he's a vampire

[@nikhilkhannaMBA]

So Jewish..😛

[@artofsgoe]

He's really adorable when he laughs and then he covers his mouth. Ahhh keanu you really are breathtaking ❤️

[@silviogesell1]

I have a sad Keanu sitting on the top of the bookshelf in my bedroom. Before that he sat on my PC screen but as it stopped working i thought it would be cruel to throw Keanu away. So he sits on the shelf for several years now.

[@Sarah-xt3pf]

he seems like such a lovely person.

[@velvetbeauty07]

Keanu is the definition of perfect.

[@raz8772]

Love how he covers his mouth and giggles when he's shy so precious

[@Insharai]

this guy is such a beautiful person

[@MisterCatMan]

He is so down to earth. No other actor that got fame like that stayed so truely humble and have integrity. John wick 1&2 were epic he still got it

[@morghan_with_an_h]

Mr. cat, my friends and I saw him in a restaurant here in LA, it was my friend's birthday and he was leaving... I ran over to him to see if he would come over to our table and say hi to my friend. He said "of course" and I said "sorry to bother you" he said "it's no problem at all!" He followed me to our table, sat down with us and had a little conversation. Then bought our dinner! He absolutely did not have to do that.

[@BumbleBeeBeeRock]

awesome guy. awesome actor. awesome human.

[@RaphaelPHorever]

He's so chill! Seriously, he sounds like such a nice guy!

[@angelsuro6451]

He is a great person

[@glowyrm]

Love this dude, he's so down to earth and so chill.

[@Schmidteren]

I think what people seem weird in him, is actually how normal he just is.

[@RealAnjell]

Keanu is a very nice, clean, enlightened & respectable person. those people who make fun of his sadness, are stupid jerks. they r not worthy/capable to understand him.

[@StephanieLaerkeAndersen]

That’s a great comment! “They’re not capable to understand him“. That’s a great observation.

[@AnnaLVajda]

I'm actually rather disgusted about it . It's probably just immaturity but still are people not taught any decency anymore?

[@soleronux7914]

Somehow I remember Kakashi whenever I see Keanu Reeves

[@franndebruin1702]

that makes sense actually haha

[@Shendue]

I love how he comes across as amazing just because he's normal. It's very telling of how messed up is the acting industry.

[@manofthehour6583]

I was afraid there was no comments from this year.You're breathtaking..

[@AnnaLVajda]

Yeah disturbing he's not allowed to be upset regardless of why? He's not allowed to choose his girlfriend either apparently he and AG remind me of John Lennon and Yoko Ono the public criticized her too and disrespected Lennon.

[@user-dj1eb9ed5x]

I love that he's always so "normal". Like interviewers treating him like any famous actor and kinda anticipating him to give different answers comparing to ordinary people. But Keanu just gives some nonspecific answers, not trying hard to make it a show.

[@gsuscan1]

A true class act. He measures his words carefully. He recognizes the impact they can have and takes responsibility. RESPECT

[@teriyaki_chicken]

what a beautiful man

[@nadianikolova5374]

The picture with the cats is hilarious. 😆😂

[@jnazorn0t]

"lots of things then...okay" wow what a way to dismiss a very thoughtful and intriguing answer ... worst interviewer evah

This killed me too. She was just waiting for her turn to read more Twitter questions. Ugh

[@investigatorusrex]

Ah, Keanu! He was and is always beautiful and polite and such a sweet person. I wished he and Sandra Bullock would have married. ;)

[@cristimarcov]

Of course he doesn't give a shit about aging, he's a fuckin' vampire!

[@conatcha]

He's lovely, not sad.

[@musingsofajay387]

He's FIFTY! WTF HOW CAN HE LOOK SO YOUNG?!

[@ccaammiinniiito2]

What the heck are you talking about, dude? Have you seen 60ish Christy Brinkley lately? Talk about the Fountain of Youth! She invented it!

[@ccaammiinniiito2]

Fifty, you say? A mere child!

[@musingsofajay387]

Jay Young you had a lot of coffee this morning huh? :)

[@ccaammiinniiito2]

Musings...give me more so that I can best answer you. After all, we're staying younger longer. When SS was started under FDR, it was felt that 50 would be the coming of the end stage of life. So no one would ever have thought then that someone 50 years of age could look so youthful. And that's a fact. So give me some more meat on the bone so I can best answer you.

[@musingsofajay387]

Jay Young but you will forever, be Young. HAHA

[@somebuddyX]

I really like the idea of him being in a True Detective or some limited Netflix series

[@k1mcheenoodle]

Im glad she asked that. Would love to see him in TD too

[@aguilartist]

Some John Wick. netflix Original would be nice.Explore the Mr.Wick underground.

[@AhsokaJackson]

There are actually plans in place for a tv called “The Continental,” which will explore the Assassin Underground! :-D But...the big catch is that, from what I’ve read, Reeves is only going to appear for cameos, and the series will mainly follow other characters instead. So I have mixed feelings about it. That said, as absolutely phenomenal as the first movie was (as well as what I’ve seen of the second), it could still be a truly fantastic series, though I’m sure I’d seriously miss Keanu’s presence even so!

[@youandiryan]

I love Keanu. he's extremely nice and extremely humble. he helps people a lot too. is down to earth is extremely rich what is very humble about it

[@cutepsycho7640]

Awww My Sweet potato ❤️ he is just too cute ❤️

[@PlanetarPL]

Keanu ... a man with no ego left. He is what he is. If sad then sad. If happy then happy. Although he is master at pretending he is not pretending, although he is master in projecting he is not projecting. No matter how succesful he is still dont losing head, his original nature that is with him all these years. He is still true to himself and he knows that he is nothing. Being nothing is where he found himself.

[@Maxsgcrew]

there is not much people who understand this guy, he is an example for a lot of rich, famous people. He represents with a certain romanticist taste, the decadence of the ''success society''

[@soroushkeshavarz4999]
