Keanu Reeves's Timely Transformation

Celebrity transformations can be mind-boggling—shocking at times—like a bare-faced Renee Zellweger, who’s nip-tuck transformation left the star unrecognizable during a red carpet premiere (that’s one way to go incognito). Or evenBritney Spears’ retouched transformation, on the cover ofWomen’s Health, which she appeared to resemble a cross between a photo-shopped body and Heidi Klum’s head.

There is, however, that feel-good, “we applaud you,” transformation like Keanu Reeves’ drab-to-fab makeover, which the actor pulled off in only hours!
In a paparazzi shot taken yesterday at the Incheon International Airport in South Korea, that actor b-lined to the nearest exit, looking disheveled and post-flight groggy. He sported a baggy suit (smartly layered over a thin down coat), greasy hair, and plain shoes, which didn’t match the ensemble.
We understand that a 14 hour flight is taxing, to say the least, but celebrity travel has become unabashedly sloppy—fromMark Ballis stripping down to his whitey tighties at the Anchorage airport, to full sweat-jumpsuits worn by the likes of Jessica Alba, Rihanna, and Cara Delevingne. Though, not all stars have Reeves' turn-around capability.

Only hours later, Reeves attended the premiere of “John Wick” in Seoul, South Korea looking like a new man! In his miraculously, timed transformation, the actor appeared clean-shaved, hair gelled, and perfectly fitted in a balanced look, that was neither casual nor black-tie. This handsome Reeves gets our commendation for this quick change.
