Rodrigo Fonseca has written a piece on Keanu Reeves for the Brazilian site Globo. The piece looks at Keanu’s career and the changes he has made as he approaches 50. The article was published today but it appears that the interview took place at Cannes in May and was held until now. It’s in Portuguese and is readable with the google translator. Here are a few points I found interesting:
- Turning 50 has made Keanu Reeves rethink his career and look to change it. He has already begun to change his routine in Hollywood to get into what he calls the “mature stage”.
- The first decision was to make his directorial debut with Man of Tai Chi. The second was to abandon Hollywood commercial projects and focus on riskier projects such as the science fiction Passengers and the thriller John Wick.
- “There have been many changes in the market. It was time to take a new position and start sharing my own stories that go beyond entertainment and make you think,” said Reeves during the Cannes Festival last May.
