Maybe a Happy Keanu?
I’ll be waiting on it until the end of time and I simply don’t think we’re ever going to hear it. Don’t all of you want a response from Keanu Reeves? I mean he’s clearly seen the misery picture memes. There’s no doubt about it. There’s simply too much of an abundance of these photos that have gone around and for too long for him to have missed the craze.
And now we see a happy snapshot of Keanu turned “Happy Keanu” memes? I get a kick out of this stuff hence posting the photos on this site. But I wonder if Mr. Reeves is loving it. He’s gotta be at least somewhat amused don’t you think?
For all we know he’s now purposefully doing these poses to see what the next photoshopped photo will be like.
Eh, at least we’re entertained…
Keanu has, in fact, responded to the memes. He’s been rumored to be an all around good guy and his responses to the memes reinforce those rumors. Heres a few, courtesy of Vulture entertainment:
Vulture- You’re taking over the Internet. Have you seen all the “Sad Keanu” stuff out there?
Keanu- My publicist showed me the photo, but no.
V- There’s not one photo. There are millions. You’re Photoshopped next to kittens and into Pulp Fiction and next to the cast of The Breakfast Club, and in a million different ways. Have you seen those?
K- Oh, that’s funny! No, no, I haven’t seen them.
V- There are millions, really. Google “Sad Keanu.” You haven’t?
K- [Laughs.] No.
V- Seriously, though, this is one of the reasons I think one of the big appeals of you as an actor is that people are always straining to figure out what’s on your mind, what you’re thinking, why you’re sad … There’s thousands of people doing this.
K- Wow. So, what, now they’re putting me next to other objects?
V- Yes! For instance, right now I’m looking at you in some Banksy graffiti, you next to a panda.
K- That’s so funny.
V- You with a cheerleader, but you don’t notice her …
K- Oh, that’s funny. So they like take paparazzi pictures and re-contextualize them? Funny.
V- Exactly.
K- Well, it sounds like harmless, good clean fun.
V- What do you make of how your fandom is changing?
K- I don’t know, I haven’t seen it. That one, well, I guess, though, when you think of how bad that stuff can go, that sounds like a pretty good clean fun one to have happening.
V- Given the options …
K- Yeah, I haven’t seen them. But given the scope and scale of what can happen out there, that sounds like an all right one. It sounds conceptually funny. [Laughs.]
What ComfortableMadness posted proves what I was about to say which is this: I’ve heard Keanu is a really good dude. He gives a lot of his money away to charity and he’s a good sport about everything.
PS, is anyone else pumped about Keanu playing Spike in the new Cowboy Bebop movie?
@illeaturfamily
I did not know that. But, yes, now that I do I am pumped about him playing Spike. Any rumors on who is playing Faye?
The Beatles on is the best, but the person should’ve blurred him a bit more to match John, Paul, George and Ringo. I’ve always been a fan of Keanu. I think he realizes that he’s been really lucky to have such a successful career despite not having much acting talent. He lives a pretty humble lifestyle and donates most of his pay to fund cancer research. He donated over $50 dollars of his Matrix sequels earnings to be distributed to the crew. He took a 90% pay cut on Replacements so Gene Hackman could be cast and a $2 million cut on Devil’s Advocate so Pacino could be cast.
Actual Keanu quotes from interviews:
“I’m a meathead, man. You’ve got smart people, and you’ve got dumb people. I just happen to be dumb.”
“Money is the last thing I think about. I could live on what I’ve already made for the next few centuries.”
This last one is just further evidence that he is immortal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEubt6HpGhs&feature=player_embedded
^That was supposed to be $50 million up there if you didn’t already get that, oops.
Nope – haven’t heard about Faye yet. Apparently they are currently working on re-writing the script to reduce the scope of the movie because it was going to cost roughly 500 mil to make. I just hope it makes it through cause CB was one of my favorite anime series and I think Keanu is going to be perfect playing Spike Seigel.
Why is the “pie” picture so funny to me? I almost spit out my drink when I saw that one.
