Did you know that the man behind the Matrix movie is also the creator of a comic called BRZRKR?
In an interview clip above from The Late Show, Stephen Colbert asks the man himself about an image in which the main character sits slumped on a bench in the rain, a moment eerily reminiscent of the famous "Sad Keanu" meme that went viral over a decade ago.
"I'm just eating a sandwich, man!" says Reeves, as the image comes out. I'm eating a sandwich!
Colbert's response? "So you're not sad in 'Sad Keanu'?"
I was thinking. "I had some things going on." "I was hungry!"
He doesn't seem to understand why he's so meme-able. He doesn't seem to be concerned about it, judging by his improvised song at the end of the interview. The meme appears to be influencing art as well. Things will come full circle one day when we see that comic scene on the big screen.
