The Sad Keanu meme (which the actor this week disingenuously claimed he was totally unaware of) is officially over (see above pic taken from the set of his new flick, Generation Um).

Unofficially, of course, it ends when the internets say it ends.

Happy Keanu strikes AGAIN: Things are looking up as Reeves keeps on smiling (Mail Online)

Keanu Reeves, interviewed in NYMag yesterday, claims not to have any knowledge of the global Sad Keanu meme.

What an actor.

You’re taking over the Internet. Have you seen all the “Sad Keanu” stuff out there?
My publicist showed me the photo, but no.

There’s not one photo. There are millions. You’re Photoshopped next to kittens and into Pulp Fiction and next to the cast of The Breakfast Club, and in a million different ways. Have you seen those?
Oh, that’s funny! No, no, I haven’t seen them.

There are millions, really. Google “Sad Keanu.” You haven’t?
[Laughs.] No.

Seriously, though, this is one of the reasons I think one of the big appeals of you as an actor is that people are always straining to figure out what’s on your mind, what you’re thinking, why you’re sad … There’s thousands of people doing this.
Wow. So, what, now they’re putting me next to other objects?

Yes! For instance, right now I’m looking at you in some Banksy graffiti, you next to a panda.
That’s so funny.

You with a cheerleader, but you don’t notice her …
Oh, that’s funny. So they like take paparazzi pictures and re-contextualize them? Funny.

Exactly.
Well, it sounds like harmless, good clean fun.
