Keanu Reeves is explaining himself.
The 57-year-old actor has been the subject of a viral meme since 2010 when a photo of the “Matrix” actor looking particularly down began to circulate online.
In the pic, dubbed “sad Keanu,” a short-haired Reeves sits on a bench as he munches on some food. He somberly looks down at his feet while he rests his arms on his legs.
During an appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” earlier this week, the actor revealed the true story behind the viral photograph.
“Meme on me, when you’re not strong, and I’ll be your friend, I’ll help you carry [on],” he sang to the tune of Bill Withers’ “Lean on Me.”
