Remember when Keanu Reeves dodged the fans’ suspicions that he is 'Immortal' 

During an interview with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2017, the presenter of the show asked Keanu Reeves about the immortality claims by the fans. He confronted the actor with some pictures from the fan site Keanuisimmortal.com. He showed him a series of photographs which show that the actor looks similar to some of the historic figures shown. While the actor agreed that there are some similarities between all these personalities he neither accepted nor denied the claims made. 

Reeves and Fallon both joked about the notion and theories of how Keanu could actually be immortal and has been alive for centuries.
