people - Keanu Reeves: 'Perhaps think about death'

Hollywood-Star Keanu Reeves believes, during creative work, there is much to learn about himself. The creative act can be imagined as a kind of conversation, said the 59-year-old to the US newspaper "New York Times". "Perhaps I discuss father issues and mother issues there. Perhaps I think about death."

The "John Wick" and "Matrix" actor is publishing his own novel in August. While writing, he was surprised by "what reveals itself to oneself." He often ponders where humans come from and is fascinated by themes related to technology or the power of love.

Reeves has been publishing his comic series "BRZRKR" since 2021 about an immortal warrior. His new novel "The Other Side of the Mirror," co-written with the British Science-Fiction author China Mieville, also takes place in the "BRZRKR" universe.

In his reflection on creativity, Keanu Reeves, a renowned actor from the United States of America, mentioned discussions about personal topics such as father and mother issues, as well as contemplations on death. People worldwide, including those in Hollywood and Los Angeles, are eagerly anticipating the release of Reeves' upcoming novel, which he wrote during the creative process. The New York Times featured an interview with the 59-year-old actor, highlighting his deep thoughts and fascination with themes related to technology and the power of love. Keanu Reeves, who has previously starred in blockbuster movies like "John Wick" and "The Matrix," will have another opportunity to captivate audiences with his storytelling skills in his collaboration with British Science-Fiction author China Mieville for their novel set in the "BRZRKR" universe, which also happens to be the same universe as his comic series.
