Actor Keanu Reeves Speaks On Preoccupation With Death

Canadian actor, Keanu Reeves, popularly known as John Wick, has spoken up on his preoccupation with death, stating that he has been thinking about it all the time.

The Hollywood actor spoke on the BBC with author China Miéville to promote their new novel, 'The Book of Elsewhere', which contains an eternal character.

"I'm 59, so I think about mortality all the time," the Matrix veteran told BBC News. 
The John Wick star also stated that he was attempting to keep the subject of death in perspective. 

"Hopefully, it's not crippling, but hopefully, it's sensitized [us] to an appreciation of the breath we have, and the relationships that we have the potential to have," he explained. 

The Book of Elsewhere draws inspiration from the popular BRZRKR comic book series, created by Keanu Reeves.

Keanu said of comic books, "I love the images. I love words and storytelling and I love the way that you can have this engagement that overlays. 

"And so you can look at the art and then you can follow the story."
