Reeves' bike passion shines in 'Visionaries'
Keanu Reeves was able to translate his love for motorbikes into the docuseries Visionaries where he and his business partner Gard Hollinger meet creative people from different walks of life that help them design the perfect motorcycle. Reeves co-founded ARCH Motorcycles in Hawthorne, California alongside Hollinger in 2011 and had the chance to meet bike designers and inventors for Visionaries. One of the creatives they spoke to included a young man who built a space rocket using a giant 3D printer. "It's an extraordinary opportunity," Reeves told Reuters. "We really hoped to inspire people with creativity and what are the potentials? And really championing creativity and creating, you know, championing people to create and to get over obstacles and to, you know, to realise dreams," he added. Visionaries, distributed by Roku, arrived on The Roku Channel on March 7. Reeves and Hollinger curated the people they wanted to meet on their journey, with Reeves' favourite being James Turrell, a light artist who turned a volcanic crater in Arizona into a naked-eye observatory for the stars. "I've thought about the skies and telescopes and the constellations, but someone to kind of create situations and mold a dormant crater," said Reeves. "I guess a crater's always dormant in order to be a creator, but anyway, that to me with James Turrell was certainly remarkable," he added. He also found being an on-screen talent refreshing as well. "I love meeting folks and I love being able to speak. I love being able to talk to someone about their passion and their art and their craft," said Reeves. "And the whole production company and the artists that we spoke to, they were very open to have that intimacy in a way to talk about passion and creativity, was some of the more profound experiences that we have in life," the John Wick actor said.

Keanu Reeves isn't shying away from this one aspect of his relationship with Alexandra Grant. Speaking with PEOPLE exclusively alongside Gard Hollinger, the Matrix actor reveals who is more creative between him and his girlfriend. The answer? "Alexandra," Reeves, 60, whose new series Visionaries premiered on March 7, says. "For sure." Reeves and Grant, 51, have been linked since 2011 when they published the book Ode to Happiness Together with text by Reeves and illustrations by Grant. They made their debut as a couple in 2019. The couple owns X Artists Books, a small imprint that they founded in 2017 that focuses on "thoughtful, high-quality, artist-centered books that fit within and between genres," according to the company's website.
