Keanu buys plush new Hollywood pad

Matrix star Keanu Reeves, who earned a reported €32m for the two sequels to The Matrix, has bought a home in the Hollywood Hills for more than €4m, reports the Los Angeles Times.

Until now the reclusive actor has been renting a small apartment in Santa Monica.

His new home, a gated estate, was built in the late 1980s as an art collector’s residence. It has three bedrooms, a swimming pool, koi pond and a centre courtyard.

Reeves, 38, bought the house before he accompanied his co-stars Carrie-Anne Moss and Laurence Fishburne and producer Joel Silver to the Cannes Film Festival.
