Keanu Reeves Announces Exit from Showbiz After Hulk Hogan’s Passing — Fears Time with Aging Mother Is Running Out

In a heartbreaking and unexpected revelation, beloved actor Keanu Reeves has announced he will be stepping away from Hollywood, citing emotional grief over the recent passing of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan and a deep fear of losing precious time with his aging mother.

Known for his humility, generosity, and iconic roles in The Matrix, John Wick, and Speed, Reeves has always maintained a relatively private personal life. But in a recent interview with a major entertainment outlet, the 60-year-old actor opened up in an unusually raw and emotional moment.

“This isn’t about walking away from acting,” Keanu began quietly. “It’s about walking toward the things that matter while I still can.”

“I grew up watching Hulk — the energy, the strength, the positivity he brought into every room,” Reeves shared. “He was a giant, not just in wrestling but in heart. Losing him… it shook something loose in me.”

“I’ve spent years making movies, flying around the world, chasing scripts and stories. But my mother, the one who gave me everything, is getting older. I’m scared I won’t have enough time left with her. And I don’t want my regrets to be the last thing I live with.”

Fellow celebrities have spoken out, with Sandra Bullock calling him “the most selfless soul I’ve ever known,” and Dwayne Johnson writing, “Take your time, brother. You’ve given us so much. Now go take care of you.”

“I’m not saying I’ll never return,” he said, his voice full of emotion. “But right now, the role I need to play is son. And that might be the most important role of my life.”
