Actor Keanu Reeves is known for completely disappearing into his roles, but according to his partner, Alexandra Grant, that commitment sometimes extends beyond the set. Recently, Grant opened up about what it is like to live with the actor when he is in character mode. She further revealed a rare insight into their life together and how Reeves’ creative process can affect everyday moments at home. 

Grant’s recent comments gave an unusual glimpse into the more reserved side of their relationship and life away from the cameras. 

Keanu Reeves’ longtime partner, Alexandra Grant, recently offered a rare look into what it is like to be with the actor when he is fully in character. Grant explained that Reeves’ investment in his projects often goes beyond the film set, with his creative focus becoming part of everyday life at home. Her comments gave an insight into the actor’s devotion to his work and the way the two of them navigate their jobs together. 

“When he’s in a character, for example, I have so much respect for that understanding that this is the middle to the end of a project, right?" the visual artists said. 

“I think we share [just] the belief in [our] projects. Every project has its own autonomy, its own team. It has its own sort of rules, and it has a beginning, middle, and end. So we both are people who do projects, and you know, I’ve lived with John Wick, I’ve lived with Neo,” she explained to PEOPLE Magazine, referring to Reeves’ iconic roles as John Wick in The Matrix.

During the same launch of her new wine brand LOVEwine in Los Angeles, Alexandra Grant further discussed her creative life with Reeves. She said that their relationship is based on mutual respect, especially around each other’s artistic process, with both giving each other space to focus on their work. However, they are also hugely supportive of each other. 

"I would say that there is all the listening in the world that we know that we could talk about any problem or challenge or creative idea and talk about it forever if that is needed”, she said, talking about their respective artistic processes. “And also respect the individual need to dive deep and have a process that's maybe quiet or in another collaboration."
