Share this @internewscast.com

Keanu Reeves sparked concern among fans as he arrived at the theater ahead of his opening night performance of Waiting for Godot on Sunday.

The Matrix actor, who is 61 years old, was seen arriving at the Hudson Theatre in Midtown Manhattan alongside his girlfriend, Alexandra Grant, 52. However, attention focused more on his unkempt look and slender build as he prepared for his first appearance on Broadway.

Reeves, who has recently debunked rumors of marrying his long-term girlfriend, was labeled ‘stiff’ during his performance by New York Post’s Johnny Oleksinski. It was suggested that he found the role of Estragon challenging.

After a video emerged of Reeves – clad in a crumpled suit with battered shoes –  arriving at the theater, fans flocked to the comment section.

One observer expressed concern: ‘He seems so thin. It’s alarming. Over the past few years, his weight loss has been drastic; I hope he’s healthy. He was so striking during his John Wick days. What changed?

‘There’s noticeable weight loss, and he appears unhappy. While he still looks good, no claim otherwise, compared to his appearance in 2019 and even three years back, he is noticeably thinner and more fragile, causing concern among people.’

Others wrote: ‘Keanu I love you, but you need a new look.

The Matrix star, 61, arrived at the Hudson Theatre in Midtown Manhattan with girlfriend Alexandra Grant, 52, but all eyes turned to the star's disheveled appearance and 'skinny' frame as he prepared for his Broadway debut.

The Matrix star, at 61, appeared at the Hudson Theatre with his girlfriend, Alexandra Grant, 52, yet his somewhat unkempt look and slimmer frame drew attention as he prepared for his Broadway debut.

‘I get the whole humbleness but come on bro shower get a haircut and get a fresh suit and shoes.

‘Exactly, Keanu wears dark jacket with gray striped pants and casual shoes, it’s shows he doesn’t care. 

‘He could of washing his hair and a nice haircut.’

‘I kind of agree with you. He’s so gorgeous. A great haircut and a stubble would look amazing on him.’

‘Gosh he could hv made a little tiny effort on his appearance..just a nip of an effort 

Others praised the star, saying: ‘He is my favorite actor of all time. Such a cool Person 🙂

‘Keanu looks handsome. His wife look beautiful.’

The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Reeves for comment and has yet to hear back.

The 61-year-old Matrix alum officially made his Broadway debut as the hapless Estragon in director Jamie Lloyd's revival of the 1952 Samuel Beckett surrealist tragicomedy, which runs through January 4, 2026 (pictured September 13)

In the New York Post review, the performance landed a meager two star rating with criticism levelled at Reeves, with the review reading: ‘He doesn’t imbue any of Gogo’s lines with meaning — only speed and breathiness. 

‘They’re just memorized words that are read with the investment of stating one’s Social Security number. The actor relies on a vacant stare that’s money when he’s playing an assassin on the big screen. Not so much in live theater.’

The Guardian critic Adrian Horton gave the production three stars, and praised Reeves’s chemistry with his Bill & Ted co-star Alex Winter, 60.

‘Luckily, there’s Bill & Ted to save the day. The reunion of Winter and Reeves provides a shiny, pleasing lacquer of nostalgia over the proceedings, their comedic chemistry still unmatched and irreproducible. The two longtime friends lend lines such as “together again at last …” a jolt of delight, with a couple extra-textual treats to boot.’

Speed star Reeves officially made his Broadway debut as the hapless Estragon in director Jamie Lloyd’s revival of the 1952 Samuel Beckett surrealist tragicomedy, which runs through January 4, 2026. 

The International Emmy-winning producer originally met Alexandra at a dinner party in 2009 before contributing poetry to two of her books, Ode to Happiness in 2011 and Shadows in 2016.

Following rumors they secretly wed, the grantLOVE project founder posted a PDA snap of the couple captioned: ‘This is a real photo. Not an engagement photo or an AI wedding announcement… simply a kiss! I’m sharing it here to say thank you to everyone for the congratulations on our wedding.

‘Except we didn’t get married. Good news is much needed these days, but it’s still fake news, so be careful out there! So, here’s a bit of real happiness!’

Waiting for Godot reunited the Dogstar vocalist-bass player with his former Bill & Ted trilogy castmate, Alex Winter, who portrays the heady Vladimir.
