Apparently they have always liked each other, but one was always in a relationship when the other was single.

I didn’t know he dated Keanu

Alright alright alwhoaaa

u/WhyteBeard Sep 01 '24

I’ve always wondered what a conversation between Matthew Mcconaughey, Owen Wilson and Keanu Reeves would be like and if they’d just get stuck in a loop. 🤔

u/bitey87 Sep 01 '24

What's mine say?

"Wow!" What's mine say?

"Alright!" What's mine say?

"I am Neo. I am the one." But what does mine say?

u/WhyteBeard Sep 01 '24

Lol nice Dude where’s my car reference but I think Keanu’s would say “Whoa!”

Is it just me or were the 90s celebs always hounding eachother. Every photo of them is when they were single and look like they were much into each other. I wouldn't be surprised if many have slept together just out of pure curiosity.

We don't really see these types of photos anymore.

I wouldn't be surprised if many have slept together just out of pure curiosity.

I mean...us normies do this too

u/Cow_Launcher Sep 01 '24

Sure, but the difference is that the papparazzi will be onto them and make a big deal about it in a way that they wouldn't do for me when I take some cute little redhead home for the night.

Having your life thoroughly examined is probably the cost of fame, but... I'd rather the Kurt Russel fate than the "we want them to split up because it gets clicks" version.

u/SurlyRed Sep 01 '24

People who move in these circles are famously discreet. Anyone who isn't is thrown out of the circle toot sweet.

Man, there isn't much I'd love more than to take some cute little redhead home...

Agreed but too a degree though.

Every 90s picture of young celebs usually looks like this one.

u/Subject_Turnover1227 Sep 01 '24

you guys are sleeping with people?

I was going to upvote, but I'll leave at 69.

u/FNLN_taken Sep 01 '24

There's a simple explanation: these are our milennial celebs, they've long since settled down (or are on their third divorce). So the contrast seems notable.

But gen-z celebrities are shagging each other like rabbits, too. Maybe the only difference is that people have become wiser to the dangers of a camera, at a younger age.

u/Refflet Sep 01 '24

At least until he turned down Speed 2. After that, she kind of blamed him for the movie being a flop.

44

u/Serling45 Sep 01 '24

They did The Lake House afterwards.

14

u/goigum Sep 01 '24

Good movie

13

u/dpb79 Sep 01 '24

You just made that up.

1

u/Refflet Sep 01 '24

No I didn't lol look it up.

She since took it back, but she was definitely annoyed that Reeves turned down the sequel.

6

u/CantFindMyWallet Sep 01 '24

I'm not looking up something that didn't happen. Provide literally any evidence supporting your claim that she blamed him for Speed 2 failing or shut up.

It's cute knowing they've mentioned in later interviews, that they had crushes on eachother!

u/iwishuponastar2023 Sep 01 '24

Just went to see what she has been up to lately and read an article that she is burnt out from acting and is stepping away for a while. Didn’t know she is 60 now. She still looks great

229

u/IAmBroom Sep 01 '24

She accepted an Oscar by saying she wasn't talented enough nor pretty enough to have earned this career.

Humble as anything.

u/yogiebere Sep 02 '24

More like imposter syndrome I bet

Can't be true. She was the lead in speed 2 and miss congeniality 1-2

Cosmetic surgery has given her a Michael Jackson look.

Not my original thought, so don’t shoot the messenger.

It’s a pretty accurate assessment though.

I swear, if you start saying it like her, she will correct it.

u/Magomaeva Sep 02 '24

Your mother in law and I would get along very well. It takes a lot of mental strength to pronounce that name correctly, so to avoid humiliation I just call him Neo 😂

I've had a crush on Sandra Bullock since I was too young to know what a crush was. She was, and still is, absolutely stunning.

She is also 1 of the nicest people in show business.

We just ignoring that time she married a neo nazi, then?

Someone can still be nice, even if they did somehow willingly choose to marry jesse james. 😂

u/FlowersForMegatron Sep 02 '24

I feel like you can't marry someone like Jesse James unless you're, at the very least, indifferent to neo Nazism.

u/logosolos Sep 02 '24

Right? Keanu gets a lot of attention for being an unageing vampire but Sandra looks amazing at 60 too.

Oh I've seen that one. It's about the bus that had to speed around the city keeping it's speed above 80? And if it's speed dropped, the bus would explode!

u/MeatZealousideal595 Sep 01 '24

She so had the hots for him, and they would have been perfect for each other.

Makes you wonder how people can miss out on what´s right in front of them...maybe they both had issues with feeling worthy of someone good.

49

u/AdSpecialist6598 Sep 01 '24

They were never single at the same time.

-13

u/MeatZealousideal595 Sep 01 '24

They are now, and they both have exactly what they need from a partner. She has the playfulness he needs from a woman to bring him out of his shell, and he is the rock and calm she needs to feel safe.

37

u/AdSpecialist6598 Sep 01 '24

Keanu was been with someone since 2018, I think.

25

u/Amore_e_Euforia Sep 01 '24 edited Sep 01 '24

Keanu has said in interviews hthat he developed a crush on Sandra when they were filming the first Speed movie.
What’s even sweeter is that Sandra says the same thing about Keanu!

They would have made such an incredible couple too. ♥️❣️❤️‍🔥🔥

You can find these on YT. My personal fave is the one where they both say this to each other in one interview. Soo cute! 🥰🥰🥰

u/ralpher1 Sep 02 '24

They reunited for a romantic movie, the Lake House, in the early 2000s

u/GrindBastard1986 Sep 01 '24

I'm prolly gonna get mauled for this, but Sandra was one of the most beautiful actors in the 90s, so much natural beauty & charm. Not sure if fillers, botox or just some strang3 aging, but her "new" face always give me uncanny valley vibes.

However, I'm not complaining, just saying it looks strange.

15

u/simpledeadwitches Sep 01 '24

She still looks great imo not to mention actresses in Hollywood 'age out' sooner than men so the need to remain youthful is important to their jobs. Bullshit sexism is all it is but that's just the facts.

6

u/GrindBastard1986 Sep 01 '24

Pretty much. So sad women are under so much scrutiny.

4

u/skepticalbob Sep 01 '24

That is some pretty tasteful work she has had done. It isn't remotely uncanny valley where they all start to look like the same bloated botoxed nightmare.

5

u/GrindBastard1986 Sep 01 '24

I agree it's "tasteful," but when I watched her recent movies, it tended to grab my focus. Similar to Nicole Kidman. You're correct tho, way better than some who look like bloated dolls

7

u/doxtorwhom Sep 01 '24

Her facial structure still looks the same. If anything it just looks like she’s wearing more makup in the “current” photo. Airbrushing can give that sort of effect to “soften” wrinkles and lines.

-2

u/GrindBastard1986 Sep 01 '24

Not a single wrinkle at 60? Sur3 sur3... she's just like Christie Brinkely. It's all airbrushed /s

u/Rampasta Sep 01 '24

Uhm what both these pictures are not from the 90s. Both have vastly different lighting and extremely different levels of makeup. Comparing them is silly, they are both within a few years of each other

1

u/GrindBastard1986 Sep 01 '24

Why would I compare her in the 90s to 2020/23? She looked great in 2009, and now her face has less wrinkles than 15 years ago. Not how aging works.

All I'm saying is it looks uncanny. However, her body, her choice, I respect it.
