Today’s my birthday so a flash from a birthday past : this pic was taken, with an instamatic camera, at my 43rd birthday party……a long time ago :)) The young man is Keanu Reeves. An actor friend brought him along to the party. I did not know him………but I knew of him. I had seen him perform, compellingly, in a play called “Wild Boy”, in Toronto. I think it might have been his first play out of theatre school. He came into my home, sat in a chair and stayed there all evening ! He spoke only when spoken to….which wasn’t often as most found his silent charismatic presence too intimidating to dare try to engage him in conversation ….including me 🙂 So there he sat …..still, quiet, taking everything in……the role of observer so often seen in actors when “off stage”. None of us could have known, including Keanu no doubt, the path his future would take. Was shortly after this that he left Toronto to pursue an acting career in Los Angeles. And we all, fan or not, know how that turned out !
How did we get the young man out of the chair & posing with Ana? A friend, Bezana, was so smitten by his strange presence she insisted I ask him if she could take photos. Gave the pics to my son years ago. He wanted to impress his friends, “my mom and Keanu Reeves” Think it worked too :)). Terrible photo quality but….hey, it’s just a birthday story :))
Selfie is included.

Longy’s Neck Treatment saves the Matrix.
As the star, Keanu Reeves was required to undergo vigorous martial arts training, however a serious neck injury threatened to stop production of what was to be one of the biggest hit movies of all time. Longy’s neck treatments and training got Keanu Reeves ready for the strenuous fight scenes and the film went on. – photos included
