Why Lil’ WWTW is a better actor than Keanu Reeves … already

Now, Lil’ WWTW is only 11 weeks old, but he’s already got more acting chops than a bona fide movie star like Keanu Reeves.

Need proof? Look no further. Here’s Reeves flashing his range.

A few days after Lil’ WWTW was born he started doing ‘face parades,’ a montage of expressions that came on for no reason whatsoever. So when we got these pics downloaded it sparked this Keanu post.

Pshhh. The kid is cute and all, but Keanu Reeves has more talent than you and the kid combined. Let’s get real here. Would I as a filmmaker cast you or that kid (even when that kid grows up) as NEO in the MATRIX. HARDLY. Expressions…. actors are not robots and it’s obvious you know nothing of the craft. Show some respect for the art form and the people who do it. You should meet up with Mr. Reeves and say this to his face.

Reeves is a critical punching bag for his mostly flat performances. I’ve written in the past that he’s been improving as an actor, to his credit, and he often takes roles that push him out of his comfort zone. Good for him. His flat line readings actually worked to his benefit in “The Day the Earth Stood Still.”

But actors get big paydays, fame, etc. so they should have thick enough skins to endure a little teasing.

That said … lighten up. Clearly this was a throwaway post meant to break up the mood here and provide a little chuckle.

Apparently it didn’t work for you.
