We’re not sure if we buy into this Vulture interview with Keanu Reeves, where the actor claims to have no knowledge about his recent meme status as “Sad Keanu.” After all, ever since the first pictures appeared earlier this summer, Keanu seems to be purposely posing with maximum melancholy, even when say, he’s eating a cupcake. Then again, we didn’t expect Keanu Reeves to know such 50-cent words.
As Vulture tries to explain to Keanu what “Sad Keanu” is…
Vulture: You with a cheerleader, but you don’t notice her …
Keanu: Oh, that’s funny. So they like take paparazzi pictures and re-contextualize them? Funny.Given the options …
Yeah, I haven’t seen them. But given the scope and scale of what can happen out there, that sounds like an all right one. It sounds conceptually funny. [Laughs.]
Re-contextualize? Conceptually funny? Whoa. Maybe the fact that Keanu is a wooden, terrible actor with basically one-note in his entire oeuvre doesn’t mean he’s completely out of it.
Wait, we take that back. (Also: No questions about the upcoming Bill and Ted movie? WTF? Sad Crushable.)

Stop ragging on Keanu Reeves. He’s a good actor and questioning his talent and intelligence is ridiculous.
Laurence Fishburne knows better than anyone how smart Keanu really is
“I learned my lesson the first time we played a game of chess. We were living in Sydney [filming ''The Matrix''], and I thought we’d have a little game and I’d see how bright the motherf***er was. Beat my ass in 15 minutes and left.”

I think whoever wrote the article above should spend some time at http://whoaisnotme.net/articles/articles.htm, read some of Keanu’s interviews, and then possibly revise his/her preconceived ideas regarding Keanu’s intelligence.
