Keanu Reeves : an excellent adventure
"Keanu Reeves - stunning, androgynous, intensely private - has been described as the cult actor of choice for Generation X, as well as being a teen idol and gay icon. One of the most popular and versatile actors of our time, he has starred in films as diverse as the action-packed Speed, the wacky Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and the controversial My Own Private Idaho, as well as establishing his Shakespearean credentials in Kenneth Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing and the Canadian stage production of Hamlet in 1995." "In Keanu Reeves: An Excellent Adventure Brian J. Robb examines Keanu's turbulent childhood and his father's imprisonment for drug possession; his youthful travels around the world; his rebellious streak; his fascination with motorbikes that led to a near-fatal crash and an arrest for drunk-driving; his rock and roll ambitions with his band Dogstar; and the rumours surrounding his private life and questions over his sexuality. Fans will find here a compelling, accurate portrait of one of our most dazzling stars, both on and off-screen. This comprehensive and carefully researched biography includes an up-to-date look at Keanu's latest films, Chain Reaction, the suspense drama Devil's Advocate, and The Last Time I Committed Suicide."--BOOK JACKET
