And to think he played Buddha

On a press tour for his latest film, a sci-fi/fantasy pic called "Constantine," in which he plays a demon-slayer -- can you say "desperately grasping at straws toward the end of a career"? -- Keaunu Reeves was asked about his views of the afterlife. His incoherent answer:

But I've got to say, really, I have no kind of, can I say 'secular religiosity'? ... I don't have a denominational sight. I think, like in the stories that we tell, there is an aspect of the living life informing where we go. A transfiguration, there must be. Energy can't be created or destroyed, and energy flows. It must be in a direction, with some kind of internal, emotive, spiritual direction. It must have some effect somewhere.

Yeah, uh, right. Next question.

To be fair, the aging action star (he just turned 40) was probably in the middle of one of those 20 interviews-in-a-day press junkets, and was probably loopy as hell.
