"Lake House" star Keanu Reeves really knows how to let himself go between shooting films. 
Photogs caught up with Neo as he enjoyed a smoke and cup of coffee outside the Gramercy Tavern in New York sporting a tattered hat and clothes directly from Hobo's Quarterly.
Maybe if he busted out a guitar he could collect enough donations to buy a razor.

I saw Keanu outside a restaurant in Austin, Tx a few years back. My girlfriends and I were not sure it was him because he looked like a homeless man who hadn't showered in days. He was really nice when approached though. Very skinny, and very short. Cameras work wonders for his Neo character...I don't think he ever grew out of his Ted character...or maybe he was playing himself.

Yanno, (yawn) if you walk around NYC for any length of time, you'll notice people you've seen in films, TV, commercials, plays......and they're....people....just....like.....you....and....I. Except they make piles of money and have to put up with photographers following them around taking pictures of them every single second. I challenge any of you to look your best all day, every day. NYC is known for letting famous people just be PEOPLE like the rest of us. For example: 3 years ago I was at MSG at a cat show wandering the benching areas, and I looked behind me for my husband and saw Nicole Kidman with her 2 kids standing behind me. No bodyguards, no press following her. For pretty much about an hour, she and the kids were either in front of me or behind me, as we browsed the cats. No one said one word to her about who she was or made a fuss. No one took pictures. Why? Because she was there to spend a day with her kids, like any other mom. I sat next to Warren Beatty and his family at a show recently and no one bothered them. It's commonplace. So, Keanu Reeves looking scruffy and having coffee outside Grammercy Tavern, is just another NY'er out for a smoke. He looks like every other guy in NYC. Give him a break.

He was a total jerk. We work down the block from Gramercy Tavern and said hi as we walked by...no biggie...we see stars on our block all the time. He rolled his eyes like he was soooo bothered meanwhile at that point he was by himself...last time I check The Lake House wasnt Oscar-Worthy dude.

You always say hi to strangers on the street in New York, and expect a response? Or you just think actors owe you something?

Keanu isn't short, he is 6.1! But he is very skinny, much more than on screen. And much more handsome too. He is veryl sweet and polite with people around him and his fans and is very down to earth. Always living a normal life, no bodyguards, no drivers, no private jets. He comes and goes alone, do his things, never is on the media trying to appear more than anything or anyone. When he isn't promoting a movie he acts like a completely normal guy and you never hear about him having a big head or being a jerk. He is a casual , shy and sweet guy. He just ROCKS!!!

I have always heard nice things about this guy.
The comment from qteeface is the first negative comment I have
ever heard about his behavior with fans. Maybe he was not in a good mood
hey it happens, even to nice celebs. He seems very down to earth.
I wouldnt mind meeting him and saying hello. I have been a fan of his
every since Bill and Ted!!! LOVED him in the Matrix movies. He seems so
normal, hes almost anti-hollywood which to me is cool! So what if he looks
like a "bum" why should it matter to us anyway? Hes just trying to live his life.

Could someone at TMZ please define "homeless bum" to me? Because he looks like a normal guy, off work, in jeans, sneaked and a teeshirt and blazer to me.

He is a very good actor, and between jobs. He is a human being just like anyone else and I am sure that he is just relaxing in his normal clothes. He is probably tired of being dressed up in all these wonderful movies he plays and he is just letting the real self of him be seen and is trying to be comfortable

Keanu is tall so I'm thinking he was not the guy you saw in Austin.
