When Keanu Reeves stepped out in Beverly Hills this week, he was spotted sporting a shaggy salt and pepper beard.
The 59-year-old heartthrob was spotted leaving Louis Vuitton on Rodeo Drive where he did some Black Friday shopping.
Carrying a Christmas bag from the luxury store, the Matrix star cut a casual figure as he raced down the sidewalk in the 90210 area code.
As far as wardrobe goes, he stuck to muted colors, layering a black jacket over a midnight blue T-shirt and brown pants.
His signature dark hair fell like a mullet from beneath the baseball cap he wore on his last outing.

The John Wick star is still enjoying his long-term romance with 50-year-old painter Alexandra Grant, who he first started dating over a decade ago.
Alexandra and Keanu met at a dinner party in 2009 and worked on two art books together before officially hitting the red carpet in 2019.
However, in recent years, they have tended to maintain their privacy and rarely discuss details of their relationship in public.
Keanu made an exception this year when he was asked about his “last moment of bliss” and said: “A few days ago with my darling.” We were in bed. We were connected.’
The Constantine leading man gushed: “We were smiling, laughing and giggling.” Feeling good. It was just really nice to be together.”
Alexandra found herself on the business side of an internet frenzy when she walked the red carpet with Keanu at the LACMA Art + Film Gala in early November 2019.
“I think every single person I knew called me the first week of November, and that’s fascinating,” she told British Vogue a few months later.
When asked about the prospect of marriage in 2020, she said, “Love on all levels is very important to my identity. What’s it like to dodge the question?”

She added: “I don’t think isolation is the right way.” “There is a period of isolation that I go through as a painter, but I really value the experience of being in relationships.”
By the time they officially hit the red carpet, they had been friends for about a decade and it was reported that Keanu wanted to go public with their romance.
They first worked together on Keanu’s 2011 book Ode To Happiness, with Alexandra providing the illustrations. The book was her first as an artist and his first as an author.
They worked together again on the actor’s 2016 book Shadows, for which Alexandra again contributed the artwork.
She is his first known girlfriend since Jennifer Syme, who died in a car accident in 2001, less than four months after giving birth to her and Keanu’s stillborn baby.

In 2010, a photo emerged of the Matrix star sitting dejectedly on a park bench, leading to the wildly viral “Sad Keanu” meme.
When the meme became popular, there was much speculation that his facial expression was related to the devastating losses he had suffered over the past decade.
However, in an interview on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” in 2021, Keanu expressed that he actually appeared deserted in the picture because he was feeling hungry.
“Man, I’m eating a sandwich!” the film star said about the picture. ‘I thought. I had a lot to do. I was hungry.’
