Happy 50th Birthday, Keanu Reeves!

Keanu's 50?! Whoaaaaaaaa! Excellent!! The always cool, immortal time-traveler/actor Keanu Reeves turns 50 years-old today, and yet the dude still doesn't look a day over 30.  While Keanu's often ridiculed for having lackluster acting abilities, I've always totally loved the guy. He has long been one of my favorite actors and he's truly always fun to watch. Regardless of what some people may think about his talent, there's no arguing with his results. He's been one of the most successful actors in Hollywood, starring in the Wachowski's blockbuster series The Matrix, as well as classics like Speed, Point Break, and the Bill and Ted movies.

Keanu may be getting older, but he doesn't appear to be slowing down. Last year he made his directoral debut with Man of Tai Chi, which was well-received by critics. It'll be interesting to see if he ventures deeper into directing at this point in his career. Either way, I'm confident he'll continue to find success, and always look forward to whatever he has planned next on the horizon.

It was also announced last year that Keanu and Alex Winter would be reprising their roles as Ted "Theodore" Logan and Bill S. Preston, Esquire in a most triumphant return to the Bill and Ted series with Bill and Ted 3. Unfortunately, however, there hasn't been a lot of news about that film in quite some time, and in the land of Hollywood, no news is typically not good news. I really hope the idea hasn't been scrapped considering both of the original stars agreed to return to it. Time will tell, but it's not looking good right now. No matter what happens, I respect Keanu even more for still being willing to poke fun at himself by returning to his iconic, bonehead role. He's a man that truly has no fear!

Happy Birthday, Keanu man! And remember... 50! Stay above 50! ;)
