The Suite in the hotel "Chateau Marmont" was bright and quiet. Even too light: burning a huge chandelier, two floor lamps on long thin legs, a few of the lamps next to the bed, a tiny light bulb on the ceiling around the perimeter of the room and lots of candles. Keanu was sitting in the chair, uncomfortable his head back and holding in his left hand prokurennoy the cigarette, which had burned down almost to the filter. Ash silently fell to the floor, forming a small gray slide. Keanu turned over to the other side, sighed deeply, and again stopped. He was sleeping.Went into the room, Reeves first included all available lighting. Making sure that every dark corner is well lit and none of the subjects does not cast dark shadows, Keanu was able to breathe and look. Fear of the dark haunted Reeves from childhood. He was four years old, when the mother began to leave him alone in the dressing room: the administration saved on electricity, so when all the girls were in the hall, in the dressing room turn off the lights. The boy that there are forces had shut his eyes and ordered herself not to cry. In the darkness scattered dresses, feathers, capes turned into a nightmare fantastic animals, rustling and breathing a sigh, tried to grab Keanu elbow or crawl under a shirt. "Mouse, sit. Otherwise the mother will scold," said Patricia, corrected forever slipping stockings in a large grid, resolutely shook his head in small curls and went into the hall to meet drunken hooting.
Patricia worked as a stripper and was forced to take his son with him, because he didn't have anyone to leave. Husband to sit with the child flatly refused. A year after the wedding, Patrick (as she was called by her close friends) and Sam, her husband, moved to Australia, where she had to get to work in a nightclub. Samuel Nonin Reeves, half-Hawaiian, half-Chinese, was a man of broad views, so did not bother to take care of the baby and not objected to "night" work wife. Patricia was already in the third month of pregnancy (second child was born in January), but despite this, continued to dance in the bar, because Sam recently rarely came home, bringing with them instead of money and marijuana products. When Patrick and Sam first met, hectic and carefree life hippie suit both: they were driving a red Jaguar, wore ripped jeans and smoked "weed". It was a fun time, which ended with the birth of a son, who was named Keanu, which translated from Hawaiian means "cool breeze from the mountains". Patricia knew that her son and other children who need a home, Sunday dinners and family trips to the stadium, while Sam was returning home after midnight, drunk or stoned". Soon, there appeared a girl, Kim, father made a final choice in favor of drugs and left the family. In the summer of 1994 Sam was arrested in Hawaii with a large consignment of heroin and cocaine, after which he was sentenced to 10 years in prison. But that was then...
And then Patricia, Keanu and Kim in search of a better life went to new York. Second husband Pat became a film Director Paul Aaron, after which the family moved to Canada. A year later the place of Aaron, took a rock producer Robert Miller, with whom they lived for a little over a year and has produced the second sister Keanu - Karina. Soon the producer was replaced by a Jack bond...
Psycho
"A cool wind from the mountains grew strange and introverted boy. In addition, both he and the younger sister of Kim, the doctors discovered dyslesia - a disease in which the child cannot pronounce some sounds. This significantly affected the grades in school and interfere with normal communication with their peers. When Keanu wanted to say something, mouth appeared viscous mess of letters and syllables that did not want to take the form of recognizable words. The guys teased him. Keanu fell silent in mid-sentence and pretended that it has nothing to do with it. Normally he could only communicate with Kim, which as he swallowed half of the sounds. Once classmates, wanting to make fun of his taciturn friend for a few hours locked Keanu in the closet in the locker room. The boy is so frantic crying that got outside fainted right in front of the frenzied boys and girls. At school he was called as "crazy" or "freak".
In high school Keanu with doctors and speech therapists coped with his speech illness, plunged in hockey and soon became a great goalkeeper, for which he received the nickname Wall. Belated respect for the team was not his purpose, and therefore does not bring joy. To himself he knew that forever will remain a "freak".
Even at school age Reeves began to take acting lessons and attend auditions. To study he finally waved his hand, believing that to play on the stage it will not be useful. For this reason, Keanu four had to change schools: in all subjects, except Latin, he managed to get a solid pair.
Despite unsociability and isolation, Keanu has enjoyed great popularity among girls. He seemed mysterious and unpredictable - just like the heroes of romance novels in which a young lady was reading before going to sleep. Not to say that the guy used it - rather, he allowed them to love themselves, continuing as if from the outside to observe everything happening. Keanu grew contemplative, and not the speaker or figure that accurately guessed it, Bernardo Bertolucci, inviting the role of the Buddha in the picture "Little Buddha". But it will be much later...
While Keanu finished school and left home. In the next block lived his girlfriend pam, which Keanu well spent time, so it was decided to settle down in the basement of her home. Started independent life, and the guy has earned it the fact that sharpened his skates on one of the hockey rink, sheared trees in urban parks and cooked a day for 50 kg of spaghetti in an Italian restaurant "Palestine".
At the same time with a little lover, and theatre in his life appeared drugs. Whether made itself felt his father's genes, or environmental life seemed too dull and predictable, but in the end Keanu addicted to LSD and other hallucinogens. They distorted his space, gave a great feeling of merging with nature, cleansing. "I'm doing it wrong, but it's better to regret his actions, than about unfulfilled," said Keanu himself and continued the search.
Boy - wolf
Meanwhile, Reeves finally got his first major role on the professional stage. The desire to play was so strong that he was not troubled either explicit homoerotic subtext of the play, no specific audience in a dark room. The play was called "the Boy and the wolf", and directed by John Palmer, affected by the physical perfection of a young man and wishing once again to please "blue" audience, produced by Keanu on the stage in the most pathetically strained in some places only white panties and forced to actively move her hips. Hall sobbed with delight.
At drama school, where he studied Reeves, there were also fans of its exotic appearance and undeniable acting talent. Director Steven stern, who had close contacts with the leadership of the school, invited young talent to audition for a tiny role in a TV film, but after a day exploring said that Reeves was preparing to play the main character. In 1986 Keanu old Volvo 1969 and three thousand dollars earned on spaghetti and ice skating, came to the shooting in Los Angeles.
Popularity was not for Keanu surprise. He was doing what he loved, were laid to the fullest, knowing that it needs to please others. After the success of the film "excellent adventure bill and Ted", in which Reeves played silly country boy all day strumming air guitar, the Directors began to line up to him in turn, offering new role. Starting to get large fees, Reeves has not changed his teen-raschlenenii closet on expensive suits and shiny shoes. He continued to wear wide pants and shapeless sweaters come out from each-other. Of course, the less he wanted to draw attention to themselves, the more people wanted to be in the circle of his close friends.
"Speed", which brought Reeves 10 million dollars, brought with actress Sandra Bullock. The girl at the time was going through another breakup with her boyfriend, so the young man with thoughtful brown eyes came in handy. Every day they had ten or more hours to be next to each other, but even after a month of such a "close" operation Keanu showed no interest in the continuation of the relationship outside the shooting area. Sandra decided to take the situation into their own hands.
"What are you doing at the weekend? "how would casually decided to inquire Bullock. "As usual. Nothing," said Keanu without a trace of guile. "How do you look at to ride together in Vegas? Hang out there a day or two and for Monday to come back? " - "Great idea". Reeves and his head could not come, that Sandra had planned to seduce him, while the girl is almost celebrated the victory. She took with her the most erotic lingerie, the most exquisite perfumes and outfits, and when in the evening they were at the hotel, Balloch was ready for any eventuality... except that she was offered Keanu. "Two singles," said he, catching on the fly keys, dragged travel bags to the Elevator. And the porters, and Sandra were somewhat puzzled. Kissed goodbye Bullock on the cheek and saying "Sweet dreams", Keanu retired to his room.
Dressed in black lace and smelling magical spirits Sandra was waiting for him in his room. "He just teases me. Cannot be, that he agreed to this trip just so". Sleep was not, and with each hour passed, the determination to conquer sleep in the next room a man was strengthened. Sandra ordered a bottle of cold champagne and, like a shadow, rustling lace and silk, slipped into the room to Reeves, who, having filled up on the sofa without having to remove shoes, drank beer and read. He gave her a cursory glance and said, "What, can't sleep? You must be frozen. Where are your pajamas? In these rags even I would be uncomfortable to sleep. Lie down... get warm". Champagne stood on the floor, and Sandra, who had lost the gift of speech and former erotic mood, humbly approached his bed. Reeves wrapped her woolen blanket and began to read aloud his favorite Shakespeare, with a volume which never parted. After a few minutes femme fatale in gorgeous lingerie peacefully posative, lulled by the gentle heat from the body Keanu and his monotone vibrating voice.
They returned the next day, and Sandra had to report to each of the dedicated her cunning plan girlfriends. "How, you have nothing?! "wild wailing of those. "Was not," hissed through clenched teeth Bullock and tried as quickly as possible to change the subject. Someone suggested that Keanu is homosexual, the other supported this version (otherwise why would he give up Sandra); comparing some of the details of his past, most of his colleagues came to the conclusion that Reeves loves boys. Keanu is not objected to this question, because by and large he was absolutely couldn't care less about what people talking. However, their relationship with Bullock became noticeably cooler, and in the second part of "Speed" Reeves to star flatly refused.
Any one his novel he did not spread. It seemed that the women in his life simply does not exist, while to conquer his lonely heart the dream of many. Gwyneth Paltrow, drew Barrymore, Winona Ryder and even Sharon stone - all of them tried to seduce Reeves, but none have advanced beyond the handshakes and the official kiss on the cheek. He was not interested in their big names and impressive Bank accounts. He did not give peace another passion...
Keanu was crazy about motorcycles. The first money he spent on the magnificent "Norton", which drove around the area of Los Angeles, scaring motorists and passers-by. Speed, adrenaline, pulsiruuschiy in the blood, and fear, which was clenched in a spasm of the throat, were necessary to him as air. It was a challenge that Reeves dropped each time yourself, and Keanu liked the idea that at any moment it can flatten out on the hot asphalt. That once happened. In memory of the disaster, when Keanu miraculously pulled from underneath a pile of twisted iron, his body remained a huge ugly scar that divided his chest and stomach in half.
Child, horse, dog, and wife of
"You're not hurt? " - Amanda held a slender finger along the line of the scar and winced. A moment ago, the girl opened the door with his key, he toned down the light, quietly undressed and sitting on the lap of the sleeping in the chair Reeves, began gently to Wake him up. "Already there," said Keanu and stroked her naked silk shoulders.
They knew each other for a thousand years. In their relationship had no particular passions and complexities that are so hated Reeves. Amanda de Cadent was a model - not too big and not too talented, otherwise Keanu would not pay attention to it. He didn't like women, which had to be kept to yourself as expensive jewelry worth millions of dollars. He didn't want then to read about him in the memoirs of some superstars. That's why Amanda was completely satisfied with it. Dark hair, cold blue eyes and the grace of a cat. Amanda was not his ideal, but not annoying unlike all the other girls. "I need a child, a horse, a dog and a wife. In this order," he told newsmen and friends. Keanu didn't want a long relationship. Maybe someday, but not now...
Amanda, smoothly moving thin blades and hips, went into the bathroom. Keanu settled back in his chair and lit. Didn't pass the moment the phone rang. Despite the impressive Bank account, Reeves still did not have our own house, therefore, coming to Los Angeles, he stayed with sisters Kim, or rented a hotel room. The phone continues to ring. "Listen," said Reeves, not even trying to hide the disappointment, squatina voice. "It is I, Robert". The voice on the other end was visibly trembling. "Well, buddy... - change the temper justice with mercy, began Keanu. - How you doing? As the guys? " An accidental meeting in the store, Reeves and Meilhaus organized group Dogstar" (where Keanu strum on bass guitar) and since then has not been separated for more than three weeks. "Friend, I'm sorry..." - Robert couldn't bring myself to say that was ready to fly with language. "Hurry up, what's the matter? " - Keanu was puzzled and alarmed. Another long pause: "Jennifer died... car Crash". Reeves dropped the phone and Dogaressa to filter cigarette.
Jen... Jennifer SIM. The only one he held so close. And the only person he could not forgive himself. About two years ago, their eyes met for the first time: Keanu went to drink coffee in a roadside diner, and Jennifer walked over to his table to take the order. "Black coffee without sugar and a direct answer to a direct question," he began without further ADO. "Coffee in a minute, I can try to answer right now". The girl did not troubled, although the guy in the seat in front of her, was truly beautiful and calm. "I would like you to dine with me today. How to me you to call? " - "Six thirty, " he answered shortly, the girl turned and went for coffee. That night they laughed a lot and talked. Although in my pocket Reeves was not one hundred dollars, they went to a cheap restaurant next door, where they drank beer and ate fried potatoes. The expected question, "are you the same Keanu Reeves? " is not sounded, so Keanu allowed myself to hold the girl to the house and to appoint the following date. A week later, Jen lying on the shoulder of a Keanu, prikurivayuschij another cigarette, said conspiratorially, "you know, I'm gonna be a famous actress. For six months my friend and I go to drama school, and all teachers say that I have pretty well. Here will be removed in some series and will leave waitresses... would be great. Right? " Keanu laughed, and then Jennifer did not understand what had caused his smile. When a few weeks later she learned that Reeves actor, and a very famous and highly paid, she threw at him an ashtray and before you slam the door, shouted: "I don't know you're a big star or just. But the fact that you're a real pig, I'm sure on one hundred percent". The next day they reconciled, but Keanu had to promise that he'll never be nothing to hide from Jen.
Next to Jennifer he could be himself. They could work together to smoke marijuana in bed, then slowly and gently make love. Not accustomed to luxury girl did not require Reeves expensive gifts and did not force him to dress in the latest fashion. News about pregnancy Jen was a complete surprise to both. Keanu, not saying a word, walked out of the house, sat on the motorcycle and drove aimlessly. Returned "wind" only in the morning. Jennifer was sitting in a chair, with her legs on his feet, and on her face were visible traces of recent tears. In the ashtray next to the bed has accumulated a mountain of cigarette butts. "Tomorrow -- starting today you should quit Smoking. Our child is not going to benefit" - with these words Keanu hugged her friend, and they did not leave even for a minute.
"It pleased the Lord, that I will change your life, let it be. OK, I'll marry Jen, buy a house, forget about drugs and I will save money on training daughter," thought he, being sure that he would be born exactly a girl. For the first time in his life he knew what he wanted and what he needed. It was well.
Go crazy
In that day all from the very beginning went wrong. Night Jennifer slept poorly, was pale as a sheet, and then shrieking and clutching his stomach. On his forehead was sweating, cheeks painfully hardened, and Keanu have seen what an incredible effort the girl was worth screaming at him straight in the face. Despite the fact that childbirth should begin at least two weeks, Keanu moaning drove Jen to the hospital. On the excited faces of the doctors, he realized that good news today will not be. She was taken to the operating. He reached for her: "Baby, hold on. I'm with you", but he heard only a muffled moan and heavy breathing, tearing chest. Keanu was sitting in the waiting room, squeezing his head with his hands almost to crunch. An hour, two, three... Nurses and doctors walked past him and involuntarily accelerated step. Nobody could answer that with his child and Jen. The silence and the sound of electric lamps Madden. After some time came out from the operating doctor. Wiped the sweat from his forehead and loosening the collar of his shirt, sadly said: "Your wife is safe, though, and lost a lot of blood. The child was born dead and could destroy it, if not completed on time operation. I'm sorry,". Without saying a word, Reeves went to the ward. The girl was put to bed, and leather Jen was even whiter than the pillow on which rested her serene face. A shot of sleeping pills did their job, she slept. In the few minutes that Keanu spent at the bedside of his beloved, he understood how people go crazy. When leaving the ground from under his feet and collapses all that kept you afloat. His child had died. What was necessary to begin to live a new life, no longer existed. Keanu ran his hand over the cold damp forehead Jen and went out of the chamber. "You can visit her tomorrow morning! "cried Reeves after the doctor, but he had not heard.
He sat on the bike, hit the pedal and pulled into the darkness. Night fell on his shoulders, and tears, speaking on the eyes dried up, no time to shed. Keanu felt he was doing unfair that he should be next to Jen, but could not bring myself to go back and have another look in her pale, waxy face. Maybe someday, but not now. He drove as he could, because he wanted to die. Head thrown back, Keanu was screaming that he hates God, that he is not and never has been. Scar, a few years ago raspolagavshy his chest and stomach, burned, and burned, as if it was re-cut. When Jen woke up the next morning, Reeves was a hundred miles from it. Alive and unharmed, but completely different. The doctors said that the girl died due to congenital atrophy of the lungs caused by the drugs that were used Keanu.
Now he felt the same - the stuffiness and pain; saguchi scar on his stomach burned. The phone was lying on the floor with unfinished cigarette. The one to which he was going to come back, died in a pile of metal on some unknown road. All this time Keanu knew that Jen will forgive him, but hesitated, each time giving yourself a new promise to call or to come. He ran away from Jennifer, but always wanted to return. He could do it tomorrow... but it was no more.
Maybe... but not now
In the bathroom was noisy water. Amanda was in no hurry to leave, because he knew that passion Keanu solitude and silence. She loved him, but chose to remain silent, because he felt that her words all will become only more difficult, but not better. Everything had to happen by itself... that her pregnancy was already six weeks, Amanda learned only this morning and now wondered how would be more careful to inform Keanu. Now, apparently, was the right moment. Amanda wrapped in a huge towel and went into the living room. The light still burned, but the room was nobody. On the floor lay a smoldering cigarette butt, and buzzed handset. The girl went to the window and saw that motorcycle Reeves hour earlier she had noticed in the Parking lot of the hotel was no more. Keanu went, and in that moment, Amanda realized that more will never see him.
