The Matrix star had a little of scruff and parted his dark mane down the middle and slightly over his shoulders.

Keanu paired his dark coat with light-wash denim pants and brown leather lace-up shoes.

His brown eyes were disguised by a pair of heavy movie star shades, and he was wearing a motorcycle helmet for protection.

Meanwhile, the award-winning actor is preparing for his action-packed thriller, John Wick: Chapter 2, which will hit theaters next month.
