Let’s not body shame
Flattering angle, professional photographer trying to make him look good, beard hiding signs of aging vs. unflattering angle, paparazzi scum trying to make him look bad, no beard to hide aging.
The crop makes him look fat, too. In the original pictures, he literally looks like a relatively slim middle-aged man - which is exactly what is he when he isn’t training for a movie. Too many people forget that very few celebrities are consistently pumping iron to the extent that they have a perfect body throughout the year. Rob McElhenney goes into detail about this topic, I recommend everyone watch it when they get a chance
Exactly. Keanu is 60 next year, I’m happy if I’ll look half as good at 60.
The people who expect celebrities (or anyone) to be at peak alll of the time can go screw off, though. I thought body shaming died off with those stupid gossip rags, (magazines). He is more than the value of his evternals. People love him because of his actions and choices, who he actually is. Him being epic in movies is just an added bonus.
Dude looks like he’s tired of giving a fuck what the press thinks. Good for him
These are not the same person.
Boy, are you wrong.
Stop ruining it for them. They already opened another pack of chips feeling completely justified.
But have you become a world star first?
Bro, just admit you were wrong and move on
They’re not denying they were wrong. They’re moving the goal posts to save face. Makes me realize I might do this often
Wow that post is Wholesome 100 Keanu Chungus! Here’s some poor mans gold 🖕

Some people, like me, enjoy life more If they are at least somewhat physically fit.
That’s good for you. The original meme was literally body shaming him while on vacation
Edit: for the curious it was literally him at a film festival
There’s shredded people with double chins. Studies show people who are of overweight BMI (not obese) have the longest lifespan anyway. Let people live.
After some cursory research ([1] among other meta-analyses), this does not seem to be true below the age of 80. Could you cite a source?
Sure!

Relative to normal weight, both obesity (all grades) and grades 2 and 3 obesity were associated with significantly higher all-cause mortality. Grade 1 obesity overall was not associated with higher mortality, and overweight was associated with significantly lower all-cause mortality.
Thanks! Both look like very decent studies so I am not certain where the difference comes from. I suspect that the division into age brackets, or averaging across all of the them may be the cause. Either way, it seems that the effects of being slightly overweight are barely statistically significant. The more you know
If I’ve read it correctly, being overweight is “healthier” for longevity. My understanding of science is that being overweight isn’t unhealthy, quite the opposite, but its closeness to obesity is the true danger. So it is healthy to be “overweight” according to BMI, but it’s close to being obese, which is very unhealthy, so if you don’t watch yourself, you could hurt yourself. Aiming to be in the high “normal” BMI or low “overweight” BMI is probably the most reasonable approach. But it may be more difficult for people who build muscle to tell what that is for them.
That’s what I mean too: Blanket statements are nonsense. Of course, this applies in both directions.
You simply feel better. Good on ya
Found King Julian
We’re not like you
I just mean that it seems kind of strange to equate looking somewhat unhealthy with enjoying your life.
Oh it would.
I feel better being more fit because a lot of my interests (and my job) are very physical, and being as large as I am now makes doing the things I enjoy doing more difficult.
Not everyone has those interests or that type of work, and that’s okay, too. We all have value.
That’s exactly how I see it. One should not generalize. However, that is what is done in this picture.
Also, the right photo is the before photo. Seems like he also likes to take care of himself.
Edit: if anyone read the first draft of that my bad. That was rough lol
Keanu was on vacation when this photo was taken. He was literally trying to enjoy life. Stop making this a bigger thing than it is.
“It’s strange that people think they can enjoy life in ways that I don’t enjoy” is definitely a take.
I just like to ve out of breath when i mount my mobility scooter
food is happiness
being physically unfit is hell.
imagine not being able to wipe your own ass because it’s too wide for your own arms to reach
imagine not being able to tie your own shoes because you can’t bend enough to reach them either.
imagine getting winded from standing still
imagine your joints screaming in agony every time you so much as stand up
imagine not being able to clean because you can’t reach the floor without risking falling over and not being able to get back up.
i have been up to the very brink of letting my weight disable me and I count myself EXTREMELY LUCKY that I seem to have stopped on the edge and pulled back before ruining the rest of my life.
The pleasure of eating always disappears IN MERE MINUTES but the consequences can linger indefinitely if these indulgences are left to go unchecked.
IT’S NOT WORTH IT.
Okay but there’s a bit of a difference between “Enjoy food” and “so morbidly obese that you’re almost disabled”.
No! There are only people so obese they cannot physically move themselves and people who look like perfect hollywood starts without a single fat cell in their bodies! Anyone who tells you there is such thing as a wide spectrum of life is lying to you! The internet told me so!
You’re right overall but it also has no relevance in this context. Keanu isn’t even close to that level
So is heroin
it’s all fentanyl now. couldn’t find heroin if I tried.
food is love
He’s a bro 👌 The he’ll with how he looks.
