Someone Compares Keanu Reeves And His Alleged Girlfriend To Howl’s Moving Castle Characters And It’s Spot On

It wouldn’t be the internet if the masses didn’t get obsessed with something. As of late, everyone’s banded together to hype about actor Keanu Reeves and his character as well as personal life. Albeit this time, people are luckily mostly positive and in-tune with spreading wholesomeness, as exemplified by Reeves himself.

The latest content to be spread around the World Wide Web? A side-by-side comparison of Keanu Reeves and his alleged girlfriend Alexandra Grant and characters from Howl’s Moving Castle. Everyone seems to be onboard that the two resemble Sophie and Howl from Studio Ghibli’s classic film. And you know what? He can definitely see where people are coming from!

Leading to numerous side-by-side comparison pictures of the duo

The 55-year-old actor has been leading a rather private life in recent years, so the moment he was spotted holding hands with a lady at a public appearance, people were quick to declare that the two are dating. And it definitely seems like the case.

Many quickly assumed Keanu Reeves and artist Alexandra Grant were dating

Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant were seen lovingly holding hands as they both attended the LACMA Art + Film event in LA. The photos soon spread from one news site to the other, followed by people sharing snaps on their social media accounts. Most of the people praised the two, while others found some grounds to discuss Reeves’ choice to date a woman her age as well as people who praised Grant for her silver locks.

The LACMA Art + Film wasn’t the first time the couple was seen acting lovey-dovey. They were spotted holding hands before, although this was the first time the two did that so openly.

Especially after Keanu and Alexandra were previously spotted together

Reeves and Grant have a longtime friendship. They met at a dinner party back in 2009 and quickly became friends. The couple’s artistic sides clicked together as they have collaborated on a book where Keanu provided the text to Alexandra’s art.

And have previously collaborated on various art projects

The comparison comes from Studio Ghibli’s Howl’s Moving Castle

Keanu is a good guy, and Alexandra seems like a lovely woman. I hope that they are dating. But, whatever their relationship is, I wish them much happiness.

I think... one of the best parts of this ... is that the reaction isn't one of bitterness or jealousy (often shown as slagging or other mudslinging at the 'less socially popular/known' individual) - generally people just are ... genuinely HAPPY that... a good person also seems to be happy. As terrible as this is... that's not something that I feel happens too often when we talk of people in the spotlight.

I got into it with a bunch of catty bitches ripping on her looks stating Keanu "deserved someone hotter" I replied with "yes.. because outward appearance is by FAR more important than someone who you truly connect with and makes you happy" people are such jackasses. He's never been the type to go for bimbos anyway. Mad respect for him

Why do you keep referring to her as "alleged" girlfriend?? If another celebrity is seen with someone holding hands, smiling..... they are a couple.

I may be too cynical but there is something genuine and honest in their pose - which shows you just how phoney all those OTHER celebrity couples are....
