Photos genuinely show entertainer Keanu Reeves pursuing away taking a paparazzi camera.

The photos show Reeves running on a set in 2010, while shooting the 2012 film “Age Um.” Reeves was “taking” the camera for a scene in the film.

In May 2024, a viral Facebook post showing photos of entertainer Keanu Reeves running while at the same time holding a camcorder. The post guaranteed, “Keanu Reeves taking off with a camera he took from a paparazzi.”

Similar photos of Reeves have coursed for quite a long time with comparable cases on X (previously Twitter) YouTube (which showed a clasp of the entertainer running with a camera) and as images.

In any case, while the photos and clasps of Reeves running with a camcorder in his grasp were genuine, the case that he had taken it from paparazzi was not. The photos really show Reeves shooting a scene for his film “Age Um” in 2010. Thusly, we rate this case as “Miscaptioned.”

We found similar photos in an October 2010 article in the newspaper Everyday Mail. The article portrayed the scene he was shooting:

The 46-year-old entertainer was seen today on the spot in New York’s East Town, shooting his Non mainstream movie Age Um.

In the scene he is pursuing away [from] ranchers he takes their camcorder.

Yet, the cheerful show did keep going for a really long time, with the entertainer covering his face with his hand as he moved nearer to the paparazzi.

The Everyday Mail credited Sprinkle News, a superstar photography organization. We found comparable photos from various points distributed on Imago Pictures, a German photography organization. The photos all affirmed that Reeves was on the film set for “Age Um” showcasing a scene in 2010.

In a more drawn out cut (accessible on a YouTube video likewise mistakenly guaranteeing in its subtitle that Keanu was taking from the paparazzi) from the film, a man in a yellow shirt, cattle rustler boots and cap should be visible pursuing Reeves through the train station at the 46-second imprint. That equivalent man is apparent behind the scenes of the photo from the May 2024 Facebook post.

The minutes being referred to caught a scene where Reeves’ personality seems, by all accounts, to be surprising a gathering dressed as ranchers, getting their camera starting from the earliest stage taking off as they pursue him through the roads. The scene should be visible at the 27-second imprint in the trailer for the film.

We affirmed the scene was in the film, which is accessible on Amazon’s streaming stage.

The film was delivered in 2012, and, as per IMDb, follows a solitary day “loaded up with sex, medications, and hesitation” by three grown-ups in New York City.
