If You Fit In, You’re Replaceable
A recent Keanu Reeves encounter can change how you think.
If there’s a second Buddha then it’s Keanu Reeves.
Every time an article about him pops up I read it and wonder. I know something wild is going to happen. In a recent interview actor Sandra Bullock helps us understand Keanu’s weirdness.
“When I first met him, I would spend as much time as I could filling a silence, just to feel comfortable.
And the more I jibber-jabbered on, the quieter he would get. And I thought, I don’t understand what’s happening! He’s looking at me with eyes of confusion. He’s quiet. Did I say something to offend him?”
Keanu prefers to listen than to talk.
He doesn’t fit into society. He’s an outcast, a weirdo, an oddball.
At the end of the interview with the Esquire writer Keanu heads outside the Paris cafe to go to horse training for a new movie. The head waiter stops him before he gets out the door and says, “I want to introduce you to someone.”
In a soft, kind, polite tone Keanu says “Thank you, but probably not.”
The waiter looks shocked. “Why not?”
“Time and work,” Keanu says.
