Keanu Reeves Is Unrecognisable As He Takes A Break From Stunt Training

Keanu Reeves Is Unrecognisable As He Takes A Break From Stunt Training

On a break from training for stunts for the new 'John Wick' movie, Keanu Reeves was snapped having a cigarette - and looked unrecognisable

He's one of the most famous actors in the world, and is pretty versatile, too. Whether he's acting in something funny and kind of dumb, like Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, or one of the world's most acclaimed action trilogies such as The Matrix franchise, Keanu Reeves is an incredibly recognisable actor.

Except yesterday, the 53-year-old Canadian was snapped near the Brooklyn studio where early preparations are being made for the third instalment of the John Wick franchise and he looked quite the opposite - almost unrecognisable.

Sitting in a chair in bare feet, the actor looked slightly dishevelled and unkempt as he smoked a cigarette and drank a bottled soft drink.

He had a rather long beard, veering on mutton chops, and sported a cap from beneath which his long hair spilled down.

As he sat, a bunch of the crew working on the film - which is set for a 2019 - were unloading crash mats and a motorcycle from a van. He'd been training for his action-packed role - which involves a lot of physical activity and exertion - before heading out on his smoke break.

Wonder if he's considered that smoking will only make that stuff even more difficult? Probably not. Oh well, enjoy your break, mate.

Anyway, his John Wick character will be going on the run in the forthcoming movie, so we're assuming that this look was at least partly to do with that role, but you can never be sure - Keanu seems to be a fan of using public transport in New York and has been spotted riding the subway on a number of occasions, so he's used to disguising himself in public.

John Wick fans won't have to wait that long to see his moves in action, however. Although the film doesn't come out until next year, Keanu will also be starring as Wick in The Continental, a TV spin-off of the John Wick franchise that is set to air sooner on US network Starz.

And if you're more of a fan of goofball Keanu, then there's still the distinct possibility that the character that provided his breakthrough will be making a comeback in the long-awaited third Bill & Ted movie. 'Bodacious,' you might say.
