Keanu Reeves weight gain: Actor almost unrecognizable while boating in Cannes

When Keanu Reeves hit the Cannes scene on Sunday, it came as a shock to see the Hollywood hunk look anything less than handsome.

Keanu Reeves, 48, stepped onto a yacht looking bloated and aged.

The actor usually adorns his face and neck with grizzly facial hair, but Keanu went for a clean shaven look that revealed a drooping jaw and neckline.

Attempting to hold onto his Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventures youth, the star wore his black locks long in a beach-boy style that only acted as a harsh contrast to his ageing face.

Perhaps a late night of partying caused his eyes to appear puffier than usual, but the actor looked tired nonetheless.

Further adding to his less-than-hunky appearance was a grey tight V-neck T-shirt that hugged his bloated midsection.

A cream linen blazer layered over his shirt and distressed denim, concealing part of his weight gain.

Keanu Reeves has two films that are set to be released later in 2013, both of which must have required that Keanu be in top form.

In 47 Ronin, Keanu Reeves stars as an 18th century samurai who sets out to avenge the death of his troupe’s master.

Additionally, in Man of Tai Chi, Keanu Reeves directs and stars in the film based on martial artists.

It’s quite possible the actor is just letting loose in his off season after months of filming and recently promoting the film Generation Um…

Keanu Reeves is also rumored to be in talks to star alongside Reese Witherspoon in new sci-fi film Passengers, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
