Keanu Reeves Shares His Thoughts about His Deepfakes: "It’s Not a Lot of Fun, You Know!"

Keanu Reeves tries to stay away from social media, and this gives scammers a great opportunity to impersonate him, trying to get poor victims' trust or simply advertising stuff that the real John Wick star has no idea about.

Speaking with The Today Show, he was first asked about an "AI wedding announcement" photo of him and his partner, Alexandra Grant – a story that Grant debunked.

"I hadn’t seen it until someone from the show showed it to me," Reeves said. "I knew what was going on but I’d never seen it. We’re in that world, right?"

He noted that AI clones appearing on the internet are "happening to a lot of people," but it doesn't make it fine.

Back in 2023, he also touched on the topic, calling AI deepfakes "scary," concerned that because of them, "you lose your agency."

"When you give a performance in a film, you know you’re going to be edited, but you’re participating in that," he said. "If you go into deepfake land, it has none of your points of view. That’s scary."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Reeves pays a company to take down thousands of social media accounts every year, so if you see one, don't rush to subscribe.

Deepfakes can create all sorts of things, from fun movies, like Terminator starring Sylvester Stallone, Brad Pitt, and Jim Carrey, to dangerous corporate calls that lead to employees transferring $25 million to scammers.
