KEANU REEVES found it “very difficult to cope” following the death of his girlfriend Jennifer Syme, 18 months after they lost their baby.
Keanu Reeves, 55, has long been a Hollywood legend, rising to fame in the 90s and becoming a fully established bankable leading man. He’s remained at the top of his game ever since but despite his huge career successes, the actor’s personal life is marred with harrowing tragedies that have left him “forever changed”.
The Canadian actor is best known for playing action heroes intent on saving the world.
But in real life, he too has suffered.
The movie star tragically lost both his daughter and the woman he loved within the space of two years.
Reeves previously spoke to Higher Perspectives about his first encounter with actress and director David Lynch’s assistant Jennifer Syme, who he “fell instantly in love” with.
