KEANU REEVES COVERS' ESQUIRE' UK MAGAZINE TALKS ABOUT NOT HAVING KIDS

Keanu Reeves is promoting his latest film 'John Wick' Chapter 2.  He also covers the latest issue of 'Esquire' magazine in the UK.  Inside the magazine Keanu talks about not having any kids, buying motorcycles for the stunt guys of 'The Matrix' and more.  Here is what Keanu shared with the magazine:

A movie being a bombed: “Sometimes I call that The Day my Career Stood Still. I kind of went to Studio Movie Jail.” It seems he’s apparently still only as bankable as his last movie. “For me that is true. Yeah. You’re always fighting for a career. I mean, there’s a few people who [don't have to worry]…” Then he changes his mind. “No: you’re always fighting for a career.”

Preparing for roles “For me it’s part of the pleasure of it. Yeah. I don’t have anything better to do! I have nothing going on! I have no life! It’s just going to work and preparation.”

On River Phoenix: “I miss him dearly. F–king sucks. I know so many people miss him dearly.”

Buying The Matrix stunt men Motorcycles: “Oh, I did that for the gentlemen who were involved in this really big fight in The Matrix, in the second one, the Agent Smith fight [the set-piece sees Neo fighting dozens of clones of his nemesis]. I worked with these stuntmen every day. That fight was 17 shooting days. We trained every day for seven hours for three weeks going through all the motions. We learned the term ‘super-perfect’. You want to go for super-perfect. So, obviously I was getting paid well. And so, you know, just as a thank you to those guys. Got them some gifts. Yeah.”

Being Forever Young: “Yeah. I mean, people say my age [Reeves appears terrifyingly unaffected by the passage of time]. But I’m just waiting for that to change.”

Not Having Kids: “I’m too… it’s too late. It’s over.” What do you mean? “I’m 52. I’m not going to have any kids.” Really? “Yeah.”

On ageing: “I’m every cliché,. F–king mortality. Ageing. I’m just starting to get better at it. Just the amount of stuff you have to do before you’re dead. I’m all of the clichés, and it’s embarrassing. It’s all of them. It’s just, ‘Oh my God. OK. Where did the time go? How come things are changing? How much time do I have left? What didn’t I do?’ I’m trying to think of the line from the sonnet… ‘And heavily from woe to woe tell o’er / The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan / Which I new pay as if not paid before’. So, yeah. I’m that guy.”

Sounds like he leads a happy single life and doesn't want kids nor needs them.  We never hear about Keanu unless he is promoting something.  He lives a very private life.
