40th birthday plunges Keanu into depression

15/03/2005 - 07:22:43

Hollywood hunk Keanu Reeves found turning 40 so tough last year, he plummeted into a dark period of depression.

The Matrix star says the months since his birthday last September have been a time of reflection, which quickly escalated into morbid brooding about how many years he has left before he dies.

The Canadian actor says: "It was a nightmare. It reminded me of adolescence and it felt like an internal transformation with physical aspect, like when your hormones run wild.

"But this time with a conscious shift, an awareness of your own mortality."

Maybe if he wrote me a very large check he would feel better.

It's never too late for him to plunge into acting lessons.

I celebrated when I turned 50.

After all the smoking, drinking, heavy drugs and partying I did for 20+ years, NO WAY did I think I'd live this long.

I'm not depressed. I'm THANKFUL.

I'm turning 30 this year and it is really messing with my mind. I didn't think I would make it this far, so I guess every day should be considered "gravy".

Ah, thank you. So he is an American citizen?

And, yep, God sure mixed up those ethnicities perfectly in him. :-)

I didn't know that. I really like Keanu. He is a real decent guy from what I have heard. So sad that happened to his daughter and girlfriend.

Yes I heard about that too. He's also given a wild amount of money to the Nat'l Leukemia foundation.

Eevn though his sister Kim couldnt be helped, maybe the funds will help with research for others.

They were cute kids, sad.

My 94 yr old widowed grandmother is obsessed with Keanu so that's why I know all this errata about him.

Keanu must have thought----"40 and I still don't know how to act.....why do they keep casting me in movies? When will this fraud be uncovered?"

As a musician it a little bit easier to do than most>

LOL! I went to college in the early 70s. A few of my brain cells are missing as well. I'll say no more on that topic. : )

I was widowed in my 30s. Every now and then I look at the online ads. What really gets me is I'll see some guy's profile and see the music he likes, then look at his picture and wonder how that old guy likes the same stuff I do - then I check out his age and find out we're w/n 3 years of each other!

I've been told I don't look my age; I don't have crows feet or laugh lines and I try to keep the grey from showing. The guy pics are really disappointing because it seems that they don't even try to do something with themselves. Maybe you can't help the wrinkles, but an updated haircut and a trimmed 'stache go a long way, fellas.

Reeves just needs an attitude adjustment; in the long run, a hundred years from now, we are all dead anyway, so why fixate on it?

God saves and that is enough for anyone with a brain.

Yeah, Keanu, it really sucks to discover how finite and irrelevant each of us really is.

At their substandard grooming increases their chances of being heterosexuals.

That is pretty sad. I didn't know that.

However, I wasn't remotely upset at turning 40. But now, I'm only a couple of months away from having to describe myself as in my late 40's. That's not fun.
