Keanu Reeves is Mr. Jekyll

Keanu Reeves, sporting a scruffy beard, takes a stroll around New York City’s Soho neighborhood on Sunday (May 10).

The 44-year-old Matrix star is in talks to play the split-personality character Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Universal’s retelling of the Robert Louis Stevenson‘s classic will be modernized and given a more ‘horror’ twist thanks to critically-acclaimed Pan’s Labyrinth director Guillermo del Toro.

FYI: Keanu is sporting Prps “Barracuda” regular straight leg jeans in dark vintage ($374, Tobi.com).
