Eternally young handsome Keanu Reeves. His main women and movie roles

Instead of a career as a professional hockey player Keanu chose acting and did not fail.

Keanu first touched the acting profession at the age of nine. The boy made his debut on the theatrical stage, in the musical «Yankee Devils». Six years later, when he was already a teenager, the boy successfully played in the theatrical production of «Romeo and Juliet. However, as a child, the boy dreamed of becoming a hockey player. He turned out to be an excellent goalkeeper, and for this peers respectfully called him Wall. In school, however, he studied reluctantly. Keanu suffered from dyslexia — a disorder in the ability to read and understand spoken language. But in the street basketball or hockey, he rubbed with buddies with great pleasure. And with adults, he loved to play chess, easily beating his more experienced opponents. Successful performances at the local theater scene, training at the courses of improvisation in Toronto, where his family lived at the time, convinced Keanu and continue to move in the acting path.

After changing several local schools (including acting schools), Keanu, with the help of his stepfather moved to New York. Here he began to learn the art of transformation in the studio HB Studio, where Robert De Niro himself was once engaged. Like many other actors debuted Keanu Reeves in television series.

Fame came to the actor in the early 90’s, after the release of the Catherine Bigelow action movie «On the Crest of a Wave», where his partners in the film were Patrick Swayze and Gary Busey. Another movie hit of the first half of the 90s is the superhero movie «Speed», in which the hero Reeves fights with terrorists and saves hostages in a bombed-out bus. The inimitable Sandra Bullock made him an excellent company.

But the real calling card at all times for Keanu Reeves was the role of Neo in the sci-fi trilogy «The Matrix». It is for this role that the actor has forever entered the history of world cinema and deserves a monument during his lifetime. His other high-profile works include the great mystical drama «Devil’s Advocate,» the mystery thriller «Constantine: Lord of Darkness,» the melodrama «House by the Lake,» where he again appeared in a duo with Sandra Bullock, and the sci-fi movie «The Day the Earth Stood Still,» where Keanu played an alien. Among his later works is an excellent old-school action film «John Wick». Rumor has it that the fourth part of the film will be released in 2022, and even announced the shooting of the fifth series.

Personal life of the famous actor evolved dramatically. Officially, Keanu Reeves has never been married. At the dawn of his career, Keanu met actress Jill Scholen on the set. Their romance lasted three years, and it came to a wedding, but at the last moment the girl preferred another.

During the filming of the movie «Dracula, Keanu, who had become a star by then, started a relationship with the daughter of director Francis Ford Coppola — Sofia. However, their romance was not long-lasting. Romantic feelings faded with the end of work on the project. A friendly relationship developed between Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. Both once admitted that they felt for each other more than just a sympathy. But they were afraid to cross the thin line that separates the usual friendship and love. They remained good friends ever since.

Reeves’ greatest love was actress Jennifer Syme, who essentially became his common-law wife. The couple even had to have a child. But the actor was not lucky here either. Jennifer had a miscarriage, and a year and a half later, she died in a car accident. Since then, Keanu Reeves has not had a close relationship with anyone for a long time. However, in the fall of 2019, the ubiquitous mass media reported that the actor began dating the artist and sculptor Alexandra Grant, who is nine years younger than him. Maybe this time Keanu will be lucky. In the end, the «ever young» handsome man deserved it.
