Keanu Reeves' 46-Year-Old Girlfriend Mistaken By Many For Helen Mirren, 76

Keanu Reeves, 55, stepped out to the LACMA Art & Film Gala and proudly held the hand of his artist girlfriend, Alexandra Grant, 46.
The fact that it's been years since Reeves went public with a love interest isn't what made headlines though. Even though most are calling the relationship "age appropriate," it's Grant's appearance that received the most buzz.
So why is it that a woman in her 40s can't embrace her look, grey hair and all? Sexism, perhaps? Ageism?
Sadly, many mistook her for Helen Mirren online, and that was... well... a laugh, cause honestly... how ridiculous!
The fact that some people are mistaking Keanu Reeves age appropriate girlfriend with Helen Mirren is wild. In hollywood, if you’re not 24, you might as well be 70.

I just realised Keanu Reeves' girlfriend isn't in fact Helen Mirren, so I'm feeling devestated right now, I was very heavily emotionally invested in that couple.

Is it just me that thought Keanu Reeves was going out with Helen Mirren at first glance or?

Y’all I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t have my glasses on the first time I saw it today and I thought Keanu Reeves was dating Helen Mirren.

A source close to People revealed:
“Keanu wants to openly share his life with her,” a source tells PEOPLE. “He is extremely happy and grateful to have Alex in his life. [They] started dating earlier this year, but have wanted to keep it quiet.”
