Posted by Keanu Reeves looked as if he was still in his John Wick costume as he arrived at a
taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday.
The 58-year-old actor looked rugged yet classy as he showed up sporting his now-standard salt-and-pepper beard along with a stylish black suit.
The Matrix star showed off his gracious side as he paused to sign memorabilia for adoring fans before heading into the studio in Hollywood.
He kept the muted theme going with a striped red-and-blue tie, and he skipped dress shoes in favor of more comfortable brown boots by Alpinestars.
The actor, who is a motorcycle aficionado, carried along a red-and-white backpack repping the French engine oil company Motul.
He wore his hair down to his shoulders, and it fluttered about in the breeze.

On Tuesday, Keanu excited fans of his comic book series BRZRKR when he shared that he was considering directing the upcoming film adaptation for Netflix in an interview with Collider.
He admitted that he hadn’t yet read the screenplay, but he compared a desire to helm the film after writing the source material to the process that led him to make his directorial debut with 2013’s Man Of Tai Chi.
‘I know how it’s a lot of work, but the film that I directed, Man Of Tai Chi, was born, I became the director because I was part of the writing process, and I didn’t want to hand it over,’ he explained. ‘I was like, oh, OK. I have to direct this. I’m not quite there yet on BRZRKR. I have to read the script, but I’m also interested in having a collaborator and what they could bring to it
Reeves is already set to play the lead in the film, which would be fitting, as the character in the comics, an immortal warrior who goes by Berzerker, is clearly designed to look like the Matrix star.

Reeves has lately been attached to several other high-profile projects, including the Hulu miniseries Devil In The White City, based on the Erik Larson’s non-fiction bestseller of the same name.
The book chillingly juxtaposed the grandeur of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago with the story of H. H. Holmes, who is often described as the first modern serial killer.
Reeves will be playing the real-life Chicago architect Daniel Burnham, who designed several iconic buildings, including Manhattan’s Flatiron Building, Union Station in Washington, D.C.; Selfridges in London, and the 1893 exposition in Chicago.
The series will be executive produced by Leonardo DiCaprio and his longtime creative collaborator Martin Scorsese, after the two had initially planned to adapt the book as a feature starring DiCaprio.

In September, Deadline reported that Reeves was on board to reprise the title role in a sequel to his 2005 superhero–horror film Constantine.
Constantine, who was the lead in the Hellblazer series of comics, is an exorcist and an occult detective.
The previous Constantine film was derided by critics but was a hit at the box office, and Reeves’ continued success with audiences is likely a good omen for a sequel.
Keanu will also be seen in the upcoming fourth John Wick film, which finished filming late last year and is set for a March 2023 release.
