It was through a pic posted on Instagram by none other than Rob Lowe’s wife, Sheryl Berkoff, that people found out Keanu had changed his appearance. The photo, captioned with «Old friends», featured Keanu and his girlfriend, Alexandra Grant, standing next to Rob Lowe, his son John and Sheryl herself.

In the comments section, people couldn’t help but express their thoughts on Keanu’s look. But everyone seemed to be on the same page, saying they enjoyed the fresh haircut. «Keanu looks great with short hair,» one user wrote, while another pointed out that it might have just made him look younger. «Keanu looks 35,» they wrote.
