... and didn't make stupid videos that took the piss out of Australia's quarantine laws? Maybe in an alternate universe he's still with Winona or Vanessa and still making decent films.

Johnny and Winona were my favourite celeb couple ever. Over the last few years I've thought I've changed taste in men radically as Johnny makes me want a dettol bath when I look at him now but having seen that today ITS NOT ME ITS HIM.

Keanu on the other hand is still gorgeous. Older and a few lines but looks well.

There's some allegations of serious substance issues with both JD and Ms heard on blind gossip a few months back.

He looks like he's got some sort or alcohol or substance misuse problem,
I thought so too cutecat

It doesn't just look like growing older.

RJ, Keanu is indeed still gorgeous. Bizarre to think he's the same age as, if not a little older than, Nigel Farage!

Part of it is bad lighting and unflattering camera angles in that video (we see very few pics/videos of him in normal circumstances) but I agree he looks....weirdly like an average, slightly puffy bloke in his early 50s.

Keanu still looks good because he is immortal. Proof

Sorry gone off point here...

I saw JD at the Berlin film festival - he could barely walk properly Sad and looked absolutely awful. I assumed it was alcohol. I hope if that's the case, he can turn himself back around. It's a sad end when he was so talented. Oh and bloody gorgeous!!

Have you see that video on youtube of Keanu giving up his seat on the subway? Nice man. Sexy man. Terrible actor.

I love the posts saying "Hes 52 ffs", as though 52 is old! I'm not going to comment on his appearance but I do think he's turned into a very weird person. Not weird in a Helena Bonham-Carter way but weird in a, if he sits next to you on the bus you'd move kinda way.

Keanu is just perfection. Although I do always think that the subway video is either a lookalike or that he knew someone was filming him....

I used to love him, not anymore. He doesn't look particularly nice either. Keanu is lovely.

Of course he's had a history of substance use!

It was in his club river phoenix died of a poly drug overdose.

I also like this video of Ryan Gosling breaking up a fight. He's not 52 though.

I think this is a recent photo? I think his hair looks weird. It looks like it's dyed (way too dark) and it's a silly cut. I think the facial hair is a bit silly looking too.

Agree Life The Libertine was excellent.

I barely recognised JD in those pictures from outside the Court and the video apology, he looks terrible and I don't think it has anything to do with his age.

He was gorgeous - I don't really remember him looking like that, but he was lovely.

TooOld I'd definitely move if Helena B-C say next to me on a bus! I watched Harry Potter at a rather impressionable age, and still find her a bit scary now I'm grown up...

To be fair, Keanu put on a hell of a lot of weight a couple of years ago then got fit for a film again. JD looks awful, that's a scarily quick decline. Reminds me of a bloke that was his double that I knew at Uni, worshipped him, saw him a few years later and he looked bloated and odd, unhealthy and unhappy. Such a shame.

I love HBC! I'd love to sit next to her on a bus.

But JD - I used to love and think he was the most beautiful man alive too - and I agree something has gone badly wrong. Plus that apology video was utter shite. They're only sorry that they got caught, fuckwits! Angry

I wonder if it's a bit like the set up in First Wives' Club, where SJP is trying to turn Better Middler's ex into something he's not - embarrassing for him and everyone else around him but he can't see it. Yes I know that's a film and not RL, but the whole video thing just reminded me of that set up - SJP was driving the situation in the film, and maybe that Heard woman is driving this situation, JD is just going along with it, who knows.

His age has nothing to do with it. Kenneth Branagh is aging like a fine wine, Keanu is still beautiful, even Brad Pitt (who I cannot stand) looks fine for his age. And then you have those that are choosing to age naturally and handsomely , like Michael Sheen. I fear Johnny has succumbed to the rock star sweeties once too often. It's not just his swollen pasty looks, it's his practically incoherent speech patterns. He was embarrassing to watch on Graham Norton recently.

Oh no, he was my first celebrity crush. He was lush and I wanted to marry Edward Scissor hands!
Keanu definitely looks better now.

Can you just imagine if this post was about a woman who had aged badly? You'd have been torn apart. What does his appearance have to do with anyone apart from himself?
