It’s only taken us until 2019, but we’re all finally getting around to appreciating the human marvel that is Keanu Reeves:
And whether you’ve been a constant Keanu fan all this time or you’re just now going through his extensive filmography, you’ll notice one thing in particular: the man has looked great in every — and I do mean EVERY — year of his life:
