Keanu dealt with a couple big deaths in last five years, so no wonder he'd brood.
His long term girlfriend was pregnant, but the baby was stillborn, then she died in a car wreck a short time thereafter.
Everyone I know who knows of Keanu says hes a very decent guy by any standard.
Not a hollyweird guy.
Not that it really matters, but, I thought he was gay. Not the happy kind but the boy loves boy kind.
That is pretty sad. I didn't know that.
However, I wasn't remotely upset at turning 40. But now, I'm only a couple of months away from having to describe myself as in my late 40's. That's not fun.
Not to mention the serious illness of his sister, Kim. She has/had leukemia and the 2 are said to be very close. She wasn't doing too well last I read, during filming of last Matrix. He's spared no expense to help her and I hope she is doing better. His funk probably has more to do with reflecting on so much loss in his life than it actually does with the number. I've always really liked Keanu (loooove his voice), he is what he is and he is unpretentious about it, even if a little new-agey. He does seem like a decent guy.
