Keanu Reeves writes book based on his 'Sad Keanu' nickname

Quote:
At least Keanu Reeves can laugh about his sad persona.

The actor -- deemed "Sad Keanu" because of a series of photos of him looking depressed and moping -- has written a book mocking his nickname.

"Ode To Happiness" is a collection of inkblot paintings -- which purposely look like they've been blurred by tears -- and accompanying depressing passages, like "I draw a hot sorrow bath" and "In my despair room."

The last line in the book is a black smudge with the words "It can always be worse."

Reeves says he was inspired to write the book while listening to a radio station that "was playing, like, an orgy of depressing, self-pitying, nostalgic music. You know, 'I'm so lonely and I've been left and my heart is broken.' It was so voluptuously horrible. And I just started to write on this piece of paper, because I had this image of, you know, that moment when you take that bath, you light that candle, and you're really just kind of depressed. And it was making [my friend] laugh so hard."
