I actually thought it was her from the picture. I’ve always liked Keanu Reeves.

She looks great but I'd have put her age as early sixties, so yes, objectively I think she does look older than 46 (I'm 52 and not ageist!).

If they are dating I'm delighted for him: Keane must be loved!

Solihooley · 07/11/2019 07:19

I thought it was her too. Very like her at a glance.

BritishHorrorStory · 07/11/2019 07:22

Clearly this one is phrased in a way where you can't tell if the op is being bitchy or genuinely thinks this woman looks to be in her mid seventies

I thought she looked like Helen Mirren. That is not a bad thing.

I've seen other photos of her and she absolutely does not look older than she is. She doesn't have many wrinkles at all. Just because a woman chooses not to dye her natural hair doesn't mean she looks old

So many women are absolutely obsessed with the appearance of other women. The female gaze. “Appear as I expect or I will have something to say.”

trixiebelden77 · 07/11/2019 07:38

You thought this woman was in her 70s? Really? You thought her next big birthday would be 80?

PennysPocket · 07/11/2019 07:42

Nobody on this thread has said anything negative Blunt

HM is a stunning looking woman she always has been and her age is irrelevant.
The woman with KR has a similar bone structure to HM and looks very elegant as does HM.

The OP was not being bitchy many have agreed that at first glance she looks LIKE HM nobody his saying she looks 70 years old.

Chloe84 · 07/11/2019 07:44

Keanu looks so normal in real life and really nice. I had a crush on him since Speed.

MitziK · 07/11/2019 07:46

If he cut his hair and shaved off the beard, he'd clearly look a lot older, too - people aren't looking at his actual features, they're remembering how he looked in Bill & Ted or the Matrix, when he was a lot younger.

Probably because seeing him as the older man that he is would mean accepting that they are old, too.

CactusAndCacti · 07/11/2019 07:47

I thought HM too, but more because I have such little interest in celebraties that I wouldn't even know if one jumped out in front of me.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 07/11/2019 07:47

It's always a shock to sleb culture when a powerful man is seen with a woman who isn't younger than him or not conventionally attractive. Women not so much, but then there's always the myth that women are attracted to power/money.
Good on them, I've never heard a bad thing about Keanu, I hope they are happy.

Missillusioned · 07/11/2019 07:48

The bitchy comments go to show how unusual it is for a woman in the public eye to age naturally.
Having said that, it's unusual at 46 to be so completely grey, so I'm wondering if she's dyed it that colour.

FridalovesDiego · 07/11/2019 07:51

She looks like an older, more librarian-ey version of Helen Mirren. I wish he was dating Helen. What a super-couple they would be!

Westfacing · 07/11/2019 07:51

I've always like him, especially that voice!

I too thought of Helen Mirren at first glance - after all there aren't too many grey-haired women on the red carpet.

Bloomburger · 07/11/2019 07:56

She looks beautiful and serene. They both look very happy too. Good luck to them.

PicaK · 07/11/2019 08:00

I thought it was Helen Mirren at first glance. I was irritated by the article stating her age but not his.
I like him even more now.

ViktoriaLukas · 07/11/2019 08:01

She's 11 years younger than him. On MN women considering dating a guy with that age gap will be told "you'll be wiping his arse while u r still young, hun"

MadisonAvenue · 07/11/2019 08:08

I thought she was Helen Mirren too.

She’s a beautiful lady, I wish them much happiness.

Trewser · 07/11/2019 08:11

She looks really pretty. In no way does she look 60 🤣🤣 im 53 and not bad and she looks a good 5 years younger. My 20 something hairdresser has hair that colour atm.

Trewser · 07/11/2019 08:12

Can't bear Helen Mirren now she's had so much work done she can barely change her expression. She always seems humourless as well.

NightsOfCabiria · 07/11/2019 08:12

Lucky her is all I can say.

Ive long had my heart set on Keanu.

Campervan69 · 07/11/2019 08:14

Am going to have to adjust my Keanu Reeves fantasy now. She looks lovely and apparently is a very talented artist. They've been collaborating together for years. Nice to see him happy and comfortable with someone.

ViktoriaLukas · 07/11/2019 08:16

For those of you who don't have an attack of the vapours opening Daily Mail links there are several photos of her here She doesn't look any where near 60.

memorygarden · 07/11/2019 08:17

The thing is, we associate grey head with being older because, well, biology. Its something that happens when we get older, I think the fact that people (myself included) thought this lady to be older is because so many people in their 40's dye their hair. We are no longer used to seeing grey at this age, simply because people hide it. So seeing someone fully grey does make me think they are older, but it's not because I am ageist, it's because biology makes your hair go grey when you age.

Trewser · 07/11/2019 08:22

Loads of women are dying their hair grey. Some women go grey in their 20s. People are prejudiced about grey, not biologically hard wired!
