I believe he was filming Matrix and John Wick 4 at the same time. Cause I know John Wick 4 comes out next year. I could be wrong, but that seems like a reason he would keep the similar facial hair. Thank goodness they didn't pull the old digital coverup like they did with Henry Cavill's Superman. What a total crap job that was. Could be. Is it a Wick look specifically? Like from a book's character description/graphic novel drawing or just what Keanu was styling at the time? it's been like 8 years since he filmed Wick 1. Hope he likes looking like that in any case. :)
