Popped Culture News wants to applaud the star of The Day The Earth Stood Still, a remake of a sci-fi classic. With the confidence of one who knows their destiny is to be a star from the day they were born, Keanu Reeves has never had to change his acting style.

Proof of this is the holiday TV treat “Babes In Toyland” where Keanu plays Jack-Be-Nimble. I watched it last night because I could not believe the made-for-TV movie was done in 1986. It was the same Keanu from a legion of films he would do in the late eighties to nineties up until the recent 2000’s.

The man simply knew he was good back in 1986–why change his acting style? No improvement was necessary and rumors are that Keanu becomes so involved in his character roles that you can’t tell when he’s acting and when he’s not acting. It’s brilliance. 

Now if only Keanu would remake his 1986 classic Babes In Toyland (and yes Drew Barrymore could star again too since her acting style also has not changed) because that way we could compare the two films and see if there were any noticeable differences. This would be an experiment that Film Historians would be talking about far into the future.
