Forum Posts: 40 Comments: 1 Reviews: 0 | So I thought there was a thread about how keanu and cameron diaz were supposedly dating already but I can't find it, maybe it was on imdb. Anyways when doing a google news search on keanu I found something funny in one of the article about their night out.
Found here http://allieiswired.com/archives/2009/08/odd-couple-keanu-reeves-and-cameron-diaz-hook-up/ And that really surprised me as I have never thought of him as asexual and have a hard time seeing why anyone else would. Is this a common thing said about him? Edit: Formatting | ||

Plus incidents like these: Keanu Skips Out On A "Play" Date http://www.whoaisnotme.net/articles/2003_0922_kea.htm aren't exactly typical straight-guy behaviour, even taking into account Keanu's general yearning need for privacy. He's also repeatedly through the years shown a kind of obliviousness to sexual innuendo from journalists or interviewers, though it's possible it's on purpose; a couple of examples: You're a sex god in Britain, you know? http://www.whoaisnotme.net/articles/1995_11xx_kea.htm

"For an actor whose very appeal was so wrapped up with sex, it seems amazing that there should be so little sex in his films and in his life." And regarding The Matrix: I posted about this once at asexuality.org, and someone said that Keanu might be demisexual; not full blown asexual, but sort of halfway there. (on a semi-related point, there seem to be a lot of asexual Keanu fans.) I note also that, in all the interviews when Keanu was asked if he were gay, he always said that he was not gay; he never explicitly says he's straight. The closest being his quote: "I love women more than any guy I know."
It would also explain how all those people who ask or suspect that he's gay (lflipout et al) always do so because of his lack of girlfriends rather than the presence of boyfriends, or of an occasionally manifested obliviousness to women attempting to flirt with him. Most of them then conclude, illogically, that he has to be gay, despite a complete lack of boyfriends. Others claim that he trips their gaydar, and it's apparently common for asexual people to trip gaydars of people who can't differentiate between the various kinds of 'not-straight'. | ||

Forum Posts: 40 Comments: 1 Reviews: 0 | Ahh thanks anakin, guess that is why some people think so. As for obliviousness to sexual innuendo hard to say if it is real or faked, sometimes I fake it myself as a way to deal with it and most people don't seem to notice. | ||
