Keanu's dad is still a heroin addict

The Matrix star Keanu Reeves' father, who has spent time in prison for drug offences, admits he is still addicted.

Samuel Reeves, 60, told Us Weekly magazine: “I never stopped for very long. Drugs for me is about having fun. I still love heroin. I use it daily. I’m an addict.”

The elder Reeves, who lives in Hawaii with his 79-year-old mother, has not seen his son in 24 years.

“When his band was playing in Honolulu near where I used to get my methadone, I dropped off a note with my phone number,” he told the magazine.

“I didn’t get any response.”
