Keanu Reeves might be Hollywood's man of the moment with his starring role in John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, but the 54-year-old has revealed that he's a "lonely guy".
The actor made the revelation in an interview with The Jakarta Post, which was subsequently titled "Keanu Reeves Says He Is a Lonely Guy".
During the interview, he was asked what "love" means to him, and this was his response:
"You mean romantic love? You know, I'm the lonely guy. I don't have anyone in my life. But if it does occur, I would respect and love the other person; hopefully, it'll happen for me."
Reeves confesses he DID have a thing for Speed co-star Sandra Bullock:
Wanting him to elaborate on this further, the actor was then asked about the role solitude plays in his life:
"I'm an actor, so in terms of what you're asking about, I have no answer," he said.

But while Keeves hasn't get found the romantic love of his dreams, it's safe to say that his success in the acting world is only skyrocketing and then some.
And if you haven't seen it yet, this is the trailer for Parabellum:
Back in May, Keanu Reeves revealed in an interview with The Jakarta Post that he was a "lonely guy". During the interview, he was asked what "love" means to him, and this was his rather upsetting response:
"You mean romantic love? You know, I'm the lonely guy. I don't have anyone in my life. But if it does occur, I would respect and love the other person; hopefully, it'll happen for me."
Well, dry your eyes, guys, because it looks as if everybody's favorite Hollywood heart-throb has finally found love.
It has been decades since Reeves has been open about having a serious girlfriend, and in his 35-year career, he has never openly shown any signs of romance with a woman on the red carpet. Until now.
Keanu Reeves tells his fans they're 'breathtaking':
This weekend, Reeves stepped out at the LACMA Art + Film Gala Presented By Gucci in Los Angeles, walking hand-in-hand with business collaborator Alexandra Grant. The 55-year-old actor and 46-year-old artist exchanged gazes that screamed "you're breathtaking", and dozens of photos show they didn't let go of one another.
Back in June, during a press tour for Toy Story 4, Reeves was asked about his feelings on his recent career "Keanuissance". He openly told the room: "I’m glad to be having a revival. Thank you." No, Keanu, thank you!
Reeve's popularity as an all-around decent human being only makes the news of his newfound love more heartwarming, as I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that seeing the Speed actor beaming with happiness with his new girlfriend is absolutely wonderful.

The John Wick star donned a fetching black suit, black shirt and black tie with workman boots, and sported his trademark beard (do you expect anything less?). Whereas Alexandra looked graceful in a navy blue sleeveless dress with heels and bangle bracelets.
Keanu Reeves reveals he had a crush on Speed co-star Sandra Bullock:
Per the Daily Mail, Keanu and Alexandra collaborated together on the books Ode To Happiness and Shadows. Alexandra provided the visual art for the volumes - the first released in 2011 and the next five years later - while Keanu wrote poetry. The business partners also have publishing house X Artists’ Books.

Alexandra Grant is a Swarthmore College graduate and now works as a Los Angeles-based artist, who uses language and exchanges with writers as a source for imagery in sculpture, painting, drawing, and video. Her work is currently being displayed in a public collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) - hence the couple's presence there on Saturday.
Later in the evening, Alexandra was seen resting her head on Keanu's shoulder as they strolled - honestly, my heart cannot take it.
Reeves has always maintained a very private personal life - and despite being linked to the likes of Amanda De Cadenet and Claire Forlani, it has never been known just how serious he was with them. In fact, it was only earlier this year that he admitted to having a crush on his Speed co-star Sandra Bullock.
Check out this behind-scenes-footage of Reeves voice acting for Toy Story 4:
Back in the 80s, Keanu dated actress Jill Schoelen (The Stepfather), and in the 90s he was involved in a serious relationship with actress Jennifer Syme (Lost Highway). Sadly, Reeves and Syme endured heartache in 1999 when their daughter Ava was born stillborn at eight months. Two years later, Jennifer drove her Jeep into a row of parked cars in LA - killing the 28-year-old instantly.

However, this only makes Reeves' newfound love and happiness all the more special for his fans, as his loyal following can now take solace that Reeves is finding joy in both his professional and personal life.
Reeves will soon be returning as Neo in a much-anticipated fourth Matrix film. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Keanu revealed that he has already read the script. "It's very ambitious," he said. "As it should be!"
Keanu Reeves has a reputation for being one of the nicest celebrities in Hollywood.
And he's ringing that true yet again as he's being praised for his tactful handling of an awkward question in a past interview that has resurfaced on TikTok.
The video was first uploaded to the social media platform in a post made by a user going by the handle @youthscenes.
Take a look at this snippet from the interview in the video below:
The video shows a youthful-looking Keanu speaking in an episode of the British light entertainment TV show The Big Breakfast, broadcast in 1994.
In it, the John Wick star, who had recently appeared in movies such as Speed, is quizzed by a female interviewer who asked: "What sort of girls do you like?"
Replying in his typically humble manner, Keanu stated: "Oh gosh. What sort of girls do I like? They're all angels."
When asked if he was single, Keanu then confirmed that he was, before making a howling noise to joke about his "lone wolf" status.
The clip has since picked up a lot of attention on the platform from those who were touched by Keanu's attitude.

Finally, another commenter agreed: "[He] was always so sweet and humble he's just not changed what a [wonderful] thing to see."
The 56-year-old actor has been in a relationship with the 49-year-old artist Alexandra Grant since 2019 after the couple was spotted hand-in-hand together at the LACMA Art + Film Gala in Los Angeles.
The famously private actor was previously attached to Jennifer Syme but the pair split in 1999, two years prior to her death in a car accident.
If you haven't already heard, Keanu Reeves is killing it right now.
From his box office hit John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum, to his status as the new face of fashion house Saint Laurent, to his viral photoshoot that made Twitter's loins burn, it's fair to say the 54-year-old isn't doing bad.
But, when someone is flying high, it doesn't mean they don't look back on the past wistfully - even if you're Keanu!
Haven't seen John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum yet? Check out the trailer here:
For example, just this week, The Matrix actor revealed there is a previous role that he's always wanted to return to - and that is John Constantine!
All the way back in 2005, the star played suicide survivor and demon hunter John Constantine who had a one-way ticket to Satan's realm unless he earned enough goodwill to climb God's stairway to heaven.
Speaking on Variety‘s new movie podcast, The Big Ticket, Keanu revealed: "I’ve always wanted to play John Constantine again. I just love that world, too, and I love that character. I just had a blast playing a character and [playing] in that world."

While you have to admit Matt Ryan did a pretty good job playing Constantine in the most recent adaption, we'd love to see Keanu onscreen as the troubled cynic once again!
But Constantine isn't the only thing the Knock Knock actor wishes he could have again. In fact, just a few days ago, he admitted that he had a big crush on Speed co-star Sandra Bullock!
Appearing on The Ellen Degeneres Show, he watched a 2018 clip in which the actress confesses she had a thing for Keanu while they filmed the movie.
"It was hard for me to really be serious because he would look at me and I'd be like [giggle]," she told the host, adding that they never dated, so there must have been something about her "that he didn't like".
If only they'd both known! Keanu Reeves had a crush on Sandra Bullock while they were filming Speed too - hear him speak out about his feelings here:
When the clip concluded, Reeves said he didn't know that the Miss Congeniality star had a crush on him and fessed up to his own feelings.
"She obviously didn't know that I had a crush on her, either," he said, to the screams of the audience. In an attempt to remain professional, he added: "It was nice to go to work. She's such a wonderful person."
Now there's a couple we'd love to see! But fear not - if anyone can make these things happen, it's Keanu.
In the last 30 years, Keanu Reeves has become an absolute icon in pop culture. From Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure to The Matrix to John Wick - Reeves is just one of those extraordinary talents that refuses to put out a bad movie. And even when he does, people love it anyway (here's looking at you, Constantine).
However, one movie that will always stand out as a break-out role for Reeves is the 1994 heart-pounding action movie Speed.
If you haven't seen it, let me just sum up the plot and about 95% of the dialogue: there's a bomb on the bus.
The movie was not only a critical success, but cemented Reeves as an action star - opening doors to movie series like The Matrix and John Wick. But the movie also catapulted Reeves' female co-star and romantic interest, Sandra Bullock.
Now, in a recent appearance on the Ellen show, Keanu revealed in his interview what we had all been thinking this entire time.
Check out the audience gasping in shock as Reeves reveals his "confession":
After hearing the revelation, the audience gasped and the host exclaimed: "I can't believe you both had crushes on each other... and you were so scared."
The actions star went on to praise Bullock, now 54, saying: "It was nice to go to work. She's such a wonderful person, such a wonderful actress."
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Bullock opened up about the pair's chemistry and Reeve's flirtatious behaviour:
”Just to make sure the chemistry was okay between me and Keanu. We had to do all these really physical scenes together, rolling around on the floor and stuff. At one point Keanu stumbled into me and sort of grabbed my butt. I asked him, ‘Are you copping a feel?’ He got all panicky and was like, ‘Nooooo! I wasn’t!’ I was like, ‘Relax, Keanu. Just kidding.'”
Check out Reeves training for his latest role in John Wick 3 - this is badass:
Keanu Reeves is doing pretty well for himself in 2019. His John Wick series went from an underrated action gem to an increasingly popular franchise, earning itself a video game adaptation and a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score for its third outing in John Wick chapter 3.
Outside of his appearance as the unkillable hitman in those movies, he's also landed himself a role in Toy Story 4, Tim Allen recently revealed. His dedication to his craft is pretty intense, something that was made abundantly clear when footage of him training recently went viral. But as far as the fame that goes with this success? It seems like it's been a mixed bag.

The 54-year-old has been in the movie business for a long time, with Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure shooting him into superstardom before The Matrix sealed the deal a decade later in 1999. Unfortunately for Reeves, this also means he's become the subject of many tourists hoping to spot a celeb in their visits to Los Angeles.
Speaking to The Sunday Telegraph this week, the actor spoke about the many vans, buses and cars that drive by his West Hollywood home, just to catch a glimpse of him. "I'll come out in the morning and get my newspaper (and they’re there)," he said. "You feel like an animal in a cage."
"They visit everyone's homes and sit outside. They look at you like: 'There's One!' And I get it. But walking around LA, no one cares pretty much."
In terms of working with any tension and stress from that, Reeves says that while he doesn't meditate regularly, he highly recommends it as a way of dealing with stress.
On Friday night Reeves also appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, where he spoke about the new Bill & Ted movie on the way, explaining that the movie will delve into what life has been like for the two leads now that they're a little older with a family of their own to look after. Beyond that, they'll be travelling through time to write a song to save the universe. Sounds about right.
Keanu Reeves talks with Stephen Colbert about Bill & Ted 3:
While John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum is on its way to theatres this week, the Bill & Ted sequel is set to be released on August 21, 2020, so there's still a little bit more time to wait.
In addition to this sequel, there is also another entry in The Matrix series which is going ahead, according to recent reports - and Keanu may be getting back together with the old gang too.
