Following up on the breaking news of Keanu Reeves’ immortality, here we have what is purported to be one of Reeves’ first paying jobs as an actor... in his Reeves’ persona, that is. He was very likely already aware of the dangers of being seen as not aging, for certainly that would have been an issue with his very public late-19th/early-20th-century persona as French actor Paul Mounet. And so here, he takes pains to hide his visage, knowing full well that once suspicions began to arise -- again! -- about his apparent eternal youthfulness, it would be to his benefit to minimize the evidence as much as possible.
