Keanu won’t be going

A palate cleanser after the unsavoury spectacle of the last post and a celebrity in Italy that we can feel better about..

Keanu Reeves and his partner Alexandra Grant were in Italy last weekend for the Motorcycling Grand Prix. He’s a motorcycle enthusiast, has been riding for decades, not just for the glamour factor, and so passionate about it that he co-founded his own company, ARCH Motorcycle, back in 2011. That’s what he’s repping with his hat in these new shots of him leaving Capri via helicopter…pretty sure he’s not heading to Venice for that wedding. Not that he’s the kind of person who would declare open mockery on those people but it’s about how he chooses to spend his time and when and where he engages with his own celebrity and other celebrities. 

Anyway, there’s a photo in this set of Keanu taking a photo with his phone. Not sure what he’s shooting here but it’s probably not a selfie, LOL. I wonder how often Keanu takes selfies. Does he ever take selfies? Maybe not the way most of think of selfies but, like, when he and Alexandra are on a bike trip and no one’s around and there’s a mountain behind them, do they pull out the phone and take a picture just for their private collection, never to be shared? Does Keanu have some selfie skills? 

In other Keanu news, his next film, Aziz Ansari’s Good Fortune, is scheduled to premiere in October. He also recently wrapped on Ruben Östlund follow-up to Triangle of Sadness, a film called The Entertainment System is Down. GREAT TITLE. 

Triangle of Sadness was a satire set on a cruise ship, as people behaved increasingly badly. In The Entertainment System is Down, Keanu co-stars with Kirsten Dunst, Daniel Brühl, and Nicholas Braun in a movie about passengers on a long-haul flight where …the entertainment system is down, and all hell breaks loose. 

I can’t f-cking wait to see this because I have been on many flights where the entertainment system is down, I have seen the horror on people’s faces as they come to this realisation and are forced to confront their boredom over the next four hours – and four hours isn’t even a long-haul! Imagine a 12 or 13 hour flight?!

What kind of passenger will Keanu be playing? Will he be one of those who’s super zen about it? Will he turn into one of those people who won’t stop talking to the person next to him? Will he end up in a brawl in the aisle with some other loser because he won’t stop tapping his foot on the base of the seat of the person in front of him? Give me this movie soon!
