“IT'S CALLED GOSSIP AND OF COURSE IT'S AN OBSESSION OF MINE”

Hollywood actor Keanu Reaves has branded his life as a famous actor “a drag”, insisting that the endless paparazzi pursuit wears him down.The ‘Matrix’ star admits that he is tired of paparazzi photogs following him and taking snaps of his every move- especially when they target him as he performs mundane chores. “Fame is a drag. The paparazzi culture is more pervasive that it used to be - ‘let’s watch the actor pump gas’,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying. However, Reeves does admit that the huge pay cheques he garners from his career have helped make his life bearable. “On the positive side, it’s nice not to have to worry about bills,” he said. “Money buys you the freedom to live your life the way you want. I’ve been able to earn a really good living and start a charity foundation, which is nice,” he added.
