Keanu Reeves says he ‘thinks about death all the time’ at age 59
Keanu Reeves has admitted that he is increasingly thinking about his mortality as he opened up in a recent interview.
Keanu Reeves is known as being the most generous man in Hollywood and has been dubbed the internet’s husband after a series of sweet gestures that have been clocked by fans over the years.
Although he might be a well-established sweetheart, the actor has confessed that he has a morbid side and joked that he is constantly thinking about death now that he is closing in on turning 60.
‘I’m 59, so I’m thinking about death all the time,’ he admitted in a candid interview.
When the reporter disagreed and said he was young he conceded and said: ‘I’m young-old.’
‘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,’ he told the BBC.

The Speed actor has been promoting his first-ever novel, the Book of Elsewhere, written in collaboration with British science fiction author China Miéville.
The story is a violent tale of a superhero trying to discover his mortality, which is perhaps what has prompted such dark discussion points in recent interviews.
Speaking to The Irish Times the actor spoke about the process of writing and said: ‘It surprised me in the creative act, what gets revealed to oneself.
He added that he found he reflected on having issues with his parents as he said: ‘Maybe the creative act is a kind of talking, you know. And so maybe I have father issues and mother issues. And maybe I think about death.’
