Many of us avoid thinking about death, but not Keanu Reeves.”I’m 59, so I’m thinking about death all the time,” the Hollywood megastar has revealed to BBC News.That’s a good thing, he adds.”Hopefully it’s not crippling, but hopefully it’s sensitised [us] to an appreciation of the breath we have, and the relationships that we have the potential to have.”
The reason we’re sitting with The Matrix star, ruminating on life and mortality, is not because he has another blockbuster to promote.This time, it’s a new book – Reeves’ first novel.
