Keanu in Hardball

I was watching this interview with Keanu Reeves talking about Hardball on Starz One on One.

He looked good. I shall stop, so as not to sound like I drool continously over him. even though I do

But the part that got me---apart from his shaggy hair which he kept fidgeting with in this godly romantic way, flapping and scattering it all over his face in a reckless sexy fashion---is the part with the director, Brian Robbins. They asked him why he chose Keanu for the part.

And he replied that even though Keanu was not his first choice (why?) that after meeting with him he felt that there was so much of a similarity with Keanu and the character, Connor O'Neil in the movie. He said "something about their continuous searching for something, for something in life, that was somewhat similar."

And he was right. Keanu does look like he is searching, for something, like his mind is not settled, like it's elsewhere and where it is, nobody knows really. Every time you see him, his eyes are roving, wandering, with a smile that doesn't cut so deep, and a melancholic charm that begs you to comfort him or just do something crazy just to make him burst out in hysterical laughter..or something.

I foolishly said a silent prayer that he was searching for his lady---and that lady was me.

Cheesy, I know. Today is Sunday, isn't it? Official day for prayer and begging for miracles time.
