Keanu Reeves was spotted sporting a shaggy salt-and-pepper beard this week as he surfaced in Beverly Hills.
The 59-year-old heartthrob was spotted coming out of the Louis Vuitton on Rodeo Drive, where he had done some Black Friday shopping.
Carrying a Christmas-themed bag from the luxury empire, the Matrix star cut a nonchalant figure as he pounded across the 90210 area code.
As for his attire, he stuck to muted colors, throwing a black jacket over a midnight blue T-shirt and brown pants.
His trademark dark hair fell down in a mullet, peeking out from under the baseball cap he wore on his last outing.

The John Wick star is still enjoying his long-running romance with painter Alexandra Grant, 50, who he was first linked to more than a decade ago.
Alexandra and Keanu first met over dinner in 2009 and collaborated on two art books before officially hitting the red carpet in 2019.
In the intervening years, however, they have tended to guard their privacy and rarely discuss details about their relationship in public.
Keanu made an exception this year when asked about his “last moment of bliss,” saying, “A few days ago with my sweetheart. We were in bed. We were connected.’
The Constantine lead gushed: “We smiled and laughed and giggled. You feel great. It was just a lot of fun to be together.”
Alexandra found herself on the business end of an internet frenzy when she walked the red carpet with Keanu at the LACMA Art + Film Gala in early November 2019.
“I think everyone I knew called me the first week of November, and that’s fascinating,” she said British Vogue a few months later.
When asked about the prospect of marriage in 2020, she said: “Love on every level is very important to my identity. How’s that for dodging the question?’

She added: “I don’t believe isolation is the way. There is a period of isolation I go through as a painter, but I really appreciate the experience of having relationships.”
By the time they officially hit the red carpet, they had been friends for about a decade and it was reported that Keanu wanted the romance out in the open.
They first worked together on Keanu’s 2011 book Ode To Happiness, with Alexandra providing illustrations. The book was her first as an artist and his first as a writer.
They collaborated again on the actor’s 2016 book Shadows, to which Alexandra again contributed the artwork.
She is his first famous girlfriend since Jennifer Syme, who died in a car crash in 2001, less than four months after she and Keanu’s stillborn baby were delivered.

In 2010, a photo surfaced of the Matrix star sitting somberly on a park bench, resulting in the hugely viral “Sad Keanu” meme.
When the meme became popular, there was much speculation that his expression was related to the crushing losses he had suffered over the past decade.
But in a 2021 interview The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Keanu said he actually looked forlorn in the photo because he was hungry.
“Man, I’m having a sandwich!” the movie star said of the photo. ‘I thought. I had some things going on. I was hungry.’
