Forum Posts: 1101 Comments: 48 Reviews: 0 | Taluthah, I like that article. It feels like racism to me - though I'm white and perceive it differently, to be sure - to call a mixed-race actor "white," denying him his cultural heritage.
Wow, I had no idea about "shah mat!" - very cool. Everyone says that Keanu is the most terrifying chess player they've met. And Scrabble? Yikes. I can only imagine. | ||

Forum Posts: 777 Comments: 3 Reviews: 0 | I think that a question of belonging to one or another group was and is still discussed and it caused a great number of wars (including the WWII). As far as we know Keanu is at least 50% English. | ||

I helped Gemma with her first presenting foray, a slot on a small Edinburgh Fringe radio show. I was like her wingwoman. We then blagged press passes and went to cover the O2 Wireless festival. We ended up backstage, seeing Julian Casablancas from the Strokes chatting to Kate Moss, who was draped round David Walliams. They all said no to an interview as it was obvious we were cheeky blaggers, but we hit gold when we spotted Keanu Reeves, who said he'd do an interview with us if we found him a lighter. | ||

However, cute, fuzzy pandas have a universal appeal. Not all US movies targeted to China fare so well. Man of Tai Chi, produced by Stephen Hamel and directed by Keanu Reeves, tanked at the US and China box office when it opened in 2013. | ||

Forum Posts: 2 Comments: 0 Reviews: 0 | I read somewhere where Keanu referred himself as a middle class White boy. But I've also seen interviews where he says he's Hawaiian. I guess it just depends what context these questions are asked. It would be interesting to talk to him about his identity and mixed race heritage. | ||

ADMIN Forum Posts: 3075 Comments: 405 Reviews: 1 | I don't think it's context so much as time - it was in a 1991 interview that he referred to himself as a "bourgeois white boy": http://www.whoaisnotme.net/articles/1991_10xx_bou.htm
Whereas in a 2013 interview he said he was "Chinese, Hawaiian and English". So it could also be a matter of getting older and more in touch with his roots, and I also suspect his relationship with his father played a part in this change. Keanu had a lot of anger towards him when he was younger, and likely identified more strongly with his white mother who raised him and cared for him after his father abandoned the family. So maybe his reclaiming of that side of his identity is also part of that reconciliation process. | ||

Forum Posts: 165 Comments: 30 Reviews: 0 | not Keanu specific, it's about gender discrimination in Hollywood. But he got a high mark as he has worked with several female directors throughout his career http://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/movies/a53916/male-actors-women-directors/ | ||
