Immortal Among Us: Who He Is and Why He's Here

by Zach Broemmel

       Immortality is an idea that has been discussed for centuries. The thought of living forever is an alluring idea, but most people accept the idea as fiction and impossible. However, I'm here to tell you that those people are wrong. It hasn't been achieved by science for the general populace, but there is one known immortal that walks among us and has been influencing the world since the middle ages. Who might this be? None other than the one and only Keanu Reeves. Stick with me, it isn't as crazy as it may seem if you look at the evidence hidden throughout history.
       Lets start out with the evidence from a more modern era. Keanu Reeves is famed for his constant youthful appearance. He has looked the same since the start of his acting career. The picture on the left is of his early career, while the present day picture is on the right. Besides the facial hair, there is practically no change in his appearance! Now alone this isn't enough to cause suspicion of him being immortal, but the rest of history reveals the truth.

       History has created many people that have been known for their power and influence. One of the earliest examples of this is king Charlemagne, king of the Franks from 742-814 AD. He was known for his military prowess, incredible empire, and promotion of the arts. He earned the name "The Father of Europe". But, if you look closely, you can tell that Keanu Reeves is in fact the ancient king of the Franks. Look at this photo of the old king. He bares a striking resemblance to the actor. The shape of the head, nose, and eyes are virtually the same.

       This isn't the only time Reeves has appeared in history. There is a portrait of an unknown man painted by Parmiganino in 1530. The resemblance is uncanny. This man looks exactly the same as Keanu and Charlemagne, just with different facial hair.

       The final major person Keanu Reeves was before his modern life is none other than the famous French actor Paul Monet. This is where Keanu was first introduced to the field of acting and performance. Aside from the obvious resemblance, there are 2 other facts that show how he is immortal. Mounet first became a doctor before becoming an actor. By becoming an expert in the field of health and medicine, it would draw attention away from his obvious ageless appearance. Not only did he become a doctor to have an excuse for his appearance, but when Mounet died in 1922, his body was never found. That is because he had faked his death and gone into hiding until the people of the world had forgotten him just as they had done so many times before.

        The evidence doesn't just lie in pictures, but also in how he acts in real life and on the big screen. Reeves is known for his method acting as well as his generosity. While method acting isn't iconic to him alone, he has nailed the art. But how does he do it so well? Over his immense life time, he was bound to become masterful at many things, which he uses in his method acting to embody many characters. He is also one of the most generous and kind actors in Hollywood. He acts like a kind old man to those around him. He acts like this because he is a kind old man, though he might not look like one.
        The relations between his previous aliases and his current one also indicate his immortality. He started as the king of the Franks, other wise known as the French. As king he acted as a patron of the arts, promoting the creations of paintings, tapestries, and other works of art. Where does he appear next in history? In a piece of art, which we know he is very fond of. After that where does he appear next? As Paul Mounet, a FRENCH ACTOR! After that, he appears as Keanu Reeves, another actor who was supposedly born in Lebanon and lived in Canada. Lebanon was placed under the authority of the FRENCH after World War I. And who were the people who colonized most of Canada? The French! These reoccurring themes show how Keanu changes who he is, but keeps his background close to his ancient roots.
        But why would he take these positions in history? What is the point? The answer is simple, to control and influence the people of the time. In the middle ages those with the most power were the kings of empires and he was the greatest one there ever was. He later appeared in a painting during the height of the Renaissance. Those who had their portraits taken at this time were those of high power, wealth, and influence. In more modern times he has appeared as an actor. People now look to actors as their heroes and inspirations. Whenever he appears it is as whatever is the most influential at that time. But you need not worry, this immortal has promoted generosity and aiding those in need so he  is not to be feared to have some diabolical plan.

       Immortality was believed to be a fictional idea that couldn't be attained. However, it isn't as fake as previously thought. Keanu Reeves has been around since the medieval times and has no plans on going anywhere any time soon.
