Is he playing Abraham Lincoln in a movie?
Keanu Reeves Debuts a Bold New Look — And Fans Are Divided
Keanu Reeves has been turning heads this year — and not just for his roles or red carpet charm. From surprise public appearances to a noticeable shift in his signature style, the beloved actor has sparked plenty of conversation among fans and media alike.
A special moment at the VES Awards


In February 2025, Reeves appeared at the Visual Effects Society (VES) Awards, presenting the prestigious VES Award for Creative Excellence to Shōgun actor and producer Hiroyuki Sanada. Known for his multiple Emmy wins and commanding performances, Sanada was honored with a lifetime achievement award.
The ceremony was filled with heartfelt moments, but Sanada’s down-to-earth acceptance speech charmed the audience even more. “Y’all do some amazing here,” he joked.
A rare public outing with Alexandra Grant
Fast-forward to April 2025, and Keanu Reeves was spotted making a rare public appearance with longtime girlfriend Alexandra Grant. The couple, known for keeping their relationship largely private, were seen enjoying an evening at a restaurant.
However, it wasn’t just their affectionate outing that had people talking—Keanu’s look had evolved too.
A noticeable style shift
It seems Keanu and Alexandra are more than happy with their lives and couldn’t care less about the beard. However, many fans weren’t thrilled with the actor’s new look and started criticizing him. One person wrote, “Cool guy. Great man. But, ugh on the beard growing out. Just my opinion. Doesn’t really matter.” Another person felt that Reeves had let himself go and looked older than his age.
Someone suggested that the actor is just relaxing between projects and will shave again once filming starts, “You know he’s chilling and not doing anything when his beard look like that, he only shaves for work.” The most devoted fans, however, don’t pay attention to such trivial things and believe the actor always looks great, “With or with out the beard Keanu is still handsome gentleman.”


He was handsome in that picture when he was younger.
