to think that Keanu Reeves has no right to look that good at 50

Went to see John Wick with DH at the weekend. Very enjoyable well choreographed nonsense.

But no way does Keanu Reeves look or move like he's 50.

Bitter if I recall Smash Hits and Just 17 correctly, he does have a very unusual mixed heritage. I think he has a Chinese, Hawaiian and European mix. His name is Hawaiian which means (altogether now Grin) cool breeze over the mountain

From Wiki:

Reeves was born in Beirut, Lebanon, the son of Patricia Bond (née Taylor), a costume designer/performer from Essex, England, and Samuel Nowlin Reeves, Jr. His mother is English while his father, who is a Hawaiian-born American, has Native Hawaiian, Chinese, and Portuguese ancestry. Reeves has said: "My grandmother is Chinese and Hawaiian, so I was around Chinese art, furniture and cuisine when I was growing up". He has also spoken of his English ancestry via his mother, mentioning his happy watching of The Two Ronnies comedy show, among others, when younger

I had a feeling he had some Hawaiian and other stuff, but couldn't be bothered to Google. My SIL (BIL's wife) is has a Chinese grandmother, she is just over a decade older than me, but has fabulous cheekbones and smooth skin and looks younger than me.

BitterChocolate · 14/04/2015 20:47

And SILs father (half Tamil half Chinese) must surely be about 80 (given that SIL is in her 50s and not the oldest of her siblings) but looks early 60s. It's very remiss of my grandparents and great-grandparents to only marry other Irish people, I could have been stunning. Wink

Haha the sad thing is I didn't really have to google it, I was right with my first answer but thought I'd confirm it

I'll be upfront and say I never saw the appeal of Keanu in days of yore but suddenly I find him ever so appealing.

Apologies to all those who have loyally adored him for decades but I think I might marry him. A 13 year age gap isn't too bad is it?

vindscreenviper · 15/04/2015 11:24

I've just watched that clip of him giving up his seat and all I can say is

LOOK AT HIS LONG SLIM FINGERS

Too late, I saw him first :p A 17 year age gap is much better, I reckon, clearly he's better suited to me Wink

I'm with anyfucker, on a bad day just a little glimpse of Keanu Reeves is enough to put a little smile on my face.

He really is quite beautiful to look at.

Mmmmm Keanu. I'm willing to share.

MoustacheofRonSwanson · 15/04/2015 18:27

Not sure I'm willing to share him Stationery. I might be happy to swap him for Fernando Torres for a bit.

To be fair, I'm probably only saying that because I think it would be really greedy to want them both all to myself.

Looking at these photos of them both strictly for comparison purposes which i could do all day, I realise I have a type. Keanu and Fernando are the dark and fair versions.

I'll have November please. Term time [cough]

cruikshank · 15/04/2015 22:07

He really is quite engaging to look at and very self-effacing in interviews I've seen him on as well which, when you think what a high profile powerful type of person he is, is really something.

Lovely Keanu.
