Bill and Ted was either a documentary or The Matrix was inspired by our simulation… either way, woah.
The Matrix and John Wick star Keanu Reeves may be one of the most beloved movie stars of his generation, however, his work in the industry isn’t all he’s known for.
One topic Reeves was commonly confronted with was his slow-aging looks, with many throughout the years labelling him as an actor who simply doesn’t age – similar to Ant-Man star Paul Rudd.
Although it was always brought up more as a compliment, some believe he truly is immortal.
Some portraits of men from hundreds of years ago have been said to be the spitting image of Reeves, with some labelling them as doppelgangers, and others theorising Reeves is simply travelling through time.
Whether it be doppelgangers (most likely, of course), a time-travelling or age-defying Reeves – let’s take a look through both his so-called doppelgangers and Reeves from throughout the years.
Starting with…
1530
People have often compared this “Portrait of a Man” to Keanu Reeves, despite the Italian painter Parmigianino painting it back in the 16th century (1500s).
Could this be Reeves travelling through time or is this just an uncanny comparison…
1875
This painting comes from French painter and illustrator Louis-Maurice Boutet de Monvel, who despite many believed to actually be French actor Paul Mounet, others are convinced it’s just Reeves in disguise.
Could it be the John Wick star, who knows, we’ll have to ask him.
1991
This Keanu Reeves lookalike is actually Reeves, don’t worry.
1991, the year of Reeves-led movies such as Point Break and Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey, the latter being a movie in which he plays a character that can travel through time… “coincidence, I think not?!”
