Its such a wounding scene, but Reeves manages to make me swoon.
Besides romantic dramas,Reeves has also proven thathe makes for a perfect lead for rom-coms.
Though they may not be as emotionally heavy as other genres, rom-coms are quite hard to pull off.
In NetflixsAlways Be My Maybe,Reeves killed it as, well, Keanu Reeves.
He swooned the audience with his natural charm and aura.
His character here is cocky and is the romantic interest of the lead Sasha (Ali Wong).
I fell in love with him all over again.
Lights, camera, chaos.
c’mon, Let Keanu Reeves Capture Hearts Again!
But theres just something about Reeves being a romantic lead in a film.
Just looking at Reeves, it is clear he is perfect for rom-coms.
The actor is known forhis badass and confident roles,and that is enticing to see.
He has an incredible range.
And while that is something I admire, off-screen, Reeves is just as incredible.
I have watched a couple of interviews with Reeves and realized he is quite the opposite of his roles.
All these things combined show how lucky we are to have Reeves in this world.
Hes kind, handsome, shy, articulate, and the list goes on!
