Helen Mirren mistaken for Keanu Reeves’ girlfriend


Helen Mirren, who’s been married to someone who’s not Keanu Reeves for 22 years, says she was quite flattered when people thought she was the John Wick star’s girlfriend. Though decades apart in age, she and LA artist Alexandra Grant could almost be sisters with the same silver hair, almond eyes and calm smiles which was enough to trick some folks who glanced at buzzed-about red carpet photos of Reeves and his lady friend at a weekend event. “That was very flattering on me, you know, because she’s obviously lovely,” Mirren, 74, said of Grant, 46. The actress, who is married to director Taylor Hackford, spoke fondly of “adorable, lovely” Reeves, whom she knows from when he and her husband did The Devil’s Advocate in the late 1990s. Grant and the internet’s newest boyfriend have been business partners for years, but earlier this year started suavely showing up on red carpets holding hands. The hand-holding had to mean something, as Reeves has been well-known for his “no touch” style when he poses for photos with women.
