It’s unsurprising, given his comments about death, that Keanu Reeves is very focused on the joy of creating and sharing a fictional world. He described the process of worldbuilding as comforting and talked about the joy of creating something and sharing it with the world.
His positive fixation on mortality fits naturally with this mindset, encouraging him to use his limited time on Earth to create something that brings joy to himself and others.
Hearing an A-list actor like Keanu Reeves talk so frankly about death is undeniably unusual. However, it seems like his focus on mortality is a key part of his creative life which is reflected in his writing.
The Book of Elsewhere and BRZRKR both directly examine the topic of mortality and it’s clearly a motivating factor for the beloved actor.
