Keanu doing side quests

Post image

Keanu Reeves made his professional auto racing debut on Saturday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during the Toyota GR Cup, part of the Indy 8 Hour sports car event. 🏁😮

The 60-year-old Hollywood star spun out into the grass at Turn 9 midway through the 45-minute race but continued driving without injury.

Despite qualifying 31st out of 35 cars, Reeves briefly ran as high as 21st and finished 25th, successfully avoiding a crash on the first lap.

Driving the No. 92 BRZRKR car, which promotes his graphic novel ‘The Book of Elsewhere,’ Reeves has another race on Sunday.

At this point I'd say he's welcome to such a mild vice.

Nothing mild about what habitual smoking does to you.

And yet when compared to any other addictive substance it's mild. I never said it was healthy. But it doesn't intoxicate, it doesn't make people go broke, and it doesn't affect others.

As with many vices though quantity is key. Idk how much he actually smokes, but I haven't heard anyone meet him and say "it was fine, but he reeks of cigarette smoke"

Since even occasional smokers still can have the snell stick to clothes for a bit afterward I'd probably guess he's much less than a pack-a-day smoker.

I'm agreeing with you btw. Keanu always comes across as having a good head on his shoulders, so I'd wager it's unlikely any vices actively get out of control for him.

Who the fuck cares if he smokes? If he smells like an ash tray who the fuck cares
