Keanu Reeves is accelerating his journey in the world of professional motorsport, recently participating in a racing series for hobbyists at the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway. While fans were excited to see him embrace this new passion, many expressed concerns for his safety amid the high-speed competition.
The 60-year-old actor competed in the Toyota GR Cup over the weekend. Among 33 competitors, Reeves secured 25th position in Race 1 on Saturday and improved to 24th in Race 2 on Sunday.
Reeves raced in the No. 92 BRZRKR vehicle, a nod to his graphic novel “The Book of Elsewhere,” co-written with China Miéville. Released in July, the novel is a continuation of Reeves’ BRZRKR comic book series, which began in 2021.
During Saturday’s race, Reeves spun into the grass just past the halfway mark of the 45-minute event. Despite the mishap, he avoided any crashes and remained unharmed, rejoining the race shortly after.
Worried fans swiftly took to social media, expressing their reactions after witnessing the incident during the actor’s race. One fan emotionally remarked, ’’Hope he is OK,’’ while another person emphatically urged, ’’PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.’’ A third worriedly added, ’’Don’t get hurt!’’
Some fans noted that Reeves doesn’t look quite like he usually does, “This doesn’t look like Keanu Reeves?” However, he’s probably just tired, as racing is quite an exhausting sport. On the other hand, most people were generous with their praise. One wrote, “I’m proud of him. He’s doing what loves and enjoys doing. Live life to your fullest. Great job Keenu!” Another added, “I think it’s really cool that he’s interested in so many different things and puts himself out there and TRIED! More than most people can say, plus, we all have our off days. Keep on keepin’ on, Mr. Reeves!” It’s no wonder they say that Keanu Reeves has no haters.

Back in June, Cowell opened up about how his son Eric saved him after both of his parents died.
Speaking on an episode of The Diary Of A CEO podcast released on June 10, Cowell shared how his son saved him during a dark period amid the loss of his parents, Julie and Eric, and his life being consumed by work. Cowell’s father Eric, whom his son was named after, died in 1999, while his mother Julie died 16 years later.
“I think particularly when I lost my mum, I was on a downward spiral at that point,” said the music industry executive. “I lost everyone, you know, I’ve lost my parents. It’s finality now. What I said about the material things I’ve got, everything just meant nothing at that point.”
But the TV personality said when he heard that his fiancé, whom he has been dating since 2004, was pregnant with their first child, it turned everything around.
