Artist Reimagines Keanu Reeves As 9 Disney Princes, Absolutely Nails It
We’ve already shown you artists transforming Disney characters into real people, so what do you say we change things up a bit? I’m talking about actual folks entering the Disney universe, and who deserves this great honor more if not Keanu Reeves himself? LA-based writer and illustrator Crystal Ro has created a series featuring the 54-year-old actor as princes from some of the best movies the studio has released, and people are here for it.

“I’m actually a Senior Editor at BuzzFeed and both write and do illustrations,” Crystal told Bored Panda. “I’ve been drawing comics for a year now.”

“Other than the obvious — that Keanu is hot — I’ve been a fan for a long time. I’m an ’80s kid, so I grew up knowing him best as Ted from Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure — and I’ll never NOT hear his voice that way.”

“I like that Keanu has had an interesting career, going from playing kind of ditzy surfer dude types to action heroes, romantic leads, and hitmen more recently,” Crystal said. “The amazing thing is people love him in every one of these roles and that’s a rare thing in Hollywood.”

“I think Disney and Keanu blend so well because, currently, he’s having a big “the Internet’s boyfriend” moment. And who else the Internet loves? Disney princes (and princesses).”

The series quickly inspired all sorts of jokes
Hmmm. Well, I laughed at Nicholas Cage as Ariel.
"Artist reimagines Disney"...ugh, more of this c'mon..."Keanu Reeves" ...you have my attention. Go on.
Everyone needs to leave Keanu alone now, he doesn't like all this, when he is interviewed and they mention this, he looks like how i feel having happy birthday sung to me.
LOL
