Telling Tales February
1, 2005 Keanu Reeves is playing yet another
mysterious anti-hero -- this time, a detective in the
supernatural thriller, "Constantine." "To
play this man who is trapped, who is fatalistic, cynical,
world weary, was a lot of fun," Reeves admitted.
At 40, Keanu remains one of Hollywood's most puzzling
and private superstars, but that doesn't stop tongues
from wagging about him, so when our special correspondent
Terri Seymour sat down with him, it was time to set
the record straight.
"Oh, I read some doozies," Keanu said. "The
worst story I heard about myself? Well, one of the good
ones was that I was swimming with Sharon Stone in the
pool at the Chateau Marmont. That was kind of groovy."
"Now what was the one recently?" Keanu continued,
laughing. "That I've been married a few times --
I'm a polygamist."
But Keanu doesn't joke around when it comes to acting.
His "Constantine" co-star, Rachel Weisz, said
Reeves went above and beyond to play John Constantine,
a character who has been to hell and back.
"He gets deep in character, like deep, deep, deep"
Rachel revealed. "Like, you might get scared sometimes,
like 'Keanu!'"
"Yeah, that's only because I dig playing him so
much," Reeves added. "I'd hang around with
him."
"Constantine," based on the comic book "Hellblazer,"
blazes into theaters February 18th.
