Wired has a really
fun and intriguing interview with Keanu Reeves. I'd suggest reading the whole thing but the focus I wanted to address was his comment about his character Johnny Silverhand. Well... what is there to say... all the NSFW art and pics of Silverhand and (insert your character here) is now KR approved apparently. Read and enjoy;
It seems like people often project a lot onto their heroes online. Is it weird being internet-beloved?
Reeves: It’s nice when it’s nice, but I’m sure it’s super horrible when it’s horrible.
Well, there were people who made mods to have sex with your character in Cyberpunk 2077 …
Reeves: Getting it on with Johnny Silverhand?! I hope it was good. I’m sure Johnny tried hard.
Stahelski: I’m sure he gave it his best …
Reeves: If he cared. [Laughs] He’s kind of bitter.
Stahelski: Emotionally empty.
Reeves: He’s not emotionally empty. He cares so much, and the world’s so corrupt and he’s just trying to get some back!
