The Myth of Keanu









I didn't know what to expect from Bruce Wagner's cover story on Keanu Reeves (November) since he's known as a difficult subject to interview. But I was pleasantly surprised that Wagner was able to get him to open up about stuff that everyone has always regarded as sacred ground. I was touched by the freakishly honest responses he gave to questions about life's deterrents. Thanks for a candid, simple interview and some compassion for a star whose un-Hollywood attitude most people fail to comprehend.


Yes, that is my published letter to Details Editor that contains most of my words, a lot of the heart and some of the content. It's more concise writing than I ever could manage. I digress, how did this all start? Keanu was featured as the cover story in November's issue of Details magazine, I felt hey! you're a fan you want to write in, so there I did, a more girly letter which I am sure I stuck in here somewhere. I had forgotten about it and today I get the current issue, browsing through it at dinner, and Bam! my name in print, Keanu fan right next that smoldering picture on him. Gosh! that feels good.

As a Keanu fan, that is the most fandom thing I have ever done and the letter didn't sound girly or riddled with oh-my-god's, it was mature and it contained my most favourite word: Simple.


I feel truly blessed and excited about this. Truly.

Thank you. I shall be here all week.
