About

Mini Keanu Reeves, also known as Midget Keanu Reeves and Short Keanu Reeves, refers to a still image of Keanu Reeves from the E3 2019 Cyberpunk 2077 presentation, edited to make the actor appear disproportionately short. Online, the image has been circulated as a blursed image and used as an exploitable.

Origin
