It’s a truth universally acknowledged that there’s only, like, two things that get better as time goes on. 1. Fine wine and 2. Keanu Reeves.
Keanu is like some kind of supernatural being. He doesn’t have the Paul Rudd thing where he simply doesn’t age. Keanu just seems to get even better with each year that passes. As a kid who grew up in the 90s and used to pore over TV HITS magazines with great enthusiasm to look at all the hot ~Hollywood hunks~, I feel like Keanu has literally been a babe for my entire 33 years on this planet. That’s a long time to be peaking.

A quick reminder in case you were only born this millennium. Here’s Keanu around My Own Private Idaho era (1991):
Here he is in Point Break (1991):

Here he is in Speed (1994):
What about The fucking Matrix (1999):
And of course, the John Wick movies:
WOOF.
And here’s a random hot photo I found where he looks like Harry fucking STYLES. I cannot bear it:

I’m sorry, what we were talking about again? Oh! Yes. Keanu. He’s aged well. And now, the 54-year-old (!!!) has got everyone all het up again, this time on the cover and in a fashion spread for US GQ magazine, shot by photographer Daniel Jackson.
Just cop a look at these pics.
And:
And there’s video:
It’s just too much. And I’m not the only one not coping here.

Is it weird that I licked my phone screen? That’s not weird, right?

Some people needed medical help.

This guy definitely needs medical attention:
My womb is swelling with desire…and i’m a 40 year old dude.

Others also appreciated journo Alex Pappademas for the incredible profile, which is a glorious ode to the star.
GQ’s Keanu Reeves article is less “celebrity profile” and more “glorious fanfiction” and I AM 100% HERE FOR IT. pic.twitter.com/Gh9ytCsEud

To read the profile and see more pics, head HERE. Or you can do what I plan to do and wait until the physical magazine arrives in Australian newsagents and drop $20 on it, so you can tear out all the pics and plaster them all over your walls. Yep, I’ve come TV HITS full circle.
