katikatWhile looking for info on Keanu Reeves' movies last night, I stumbled across this old, OLD interview - it's from 2002! - for the German Penthouse magazine: link. They asked him some really interesting questions. And I loved his response to the "gay rumors"...
He seems like such a down-to-earth guy, keeping his life private and being all whatever about stuff tabloids post about him. It's quite refreshing. I like his attitude and George Clooney's much better than, for example, Jeremy Renner's. I like Renner as an actor but his 'titude... eh. He makes it sound like being seen as possibly gay is the worst thing ever.
I also spent like an hour perusing Amazon UK and adding his movies to my wishlist: Point Break, The River's Edge, Brotherhood of Justice, My Own Private Idaho, The Day The Earth Stood Still, The Devil's Advocate, Constantine... Awesome! I love falling for prolific actors :)
Penthouse: In "Interview Magazine" you were quoted as saying: "I'm not gay, but ya never know." What did you mean?
Reeves: The way I said it. I'm not gay, but who knows the things that can still happen in my life. I don't want to be nailed to a particular life style. I like to live in hotels, but it's possible that I may buy a house someday. I can't say today how I will live tomorrow.
Penthouse: In 1995, a French magazine printed a story which stated that you secretly married David Geffen.
Reeves: I don't know what David Geffen thought about the article, since we have never met. But I thought it was very funny. The same year, I was named one of the 50 most beautiful people (People Magazine). Neither can be taken seriously.
Penthouse: Why didn't you take any legal action against the magazine?
Reeves: Because it's absolutely OK to be gay. If I publicly defended myself against such slander, it would appear that I had something against homosexuals. And I don't want that. Everyone who knows me knows that I'm not married. Not to a woman or to a man.
