Is that you, Keanu? Hollywood hunk Reeves is almost unrecognisable as he packs a paunch while boating in Cannes

Boating with bloat: Keanu Reeves boarded a yacht in Cannes on Sunday, debuting a possible weight gain and a tired appearance

Having starred in action films such as Speed and The Matrix, fans are accustomed to seeing Keanu Reeves in nothing but chiseled shape.
So when the 48-year-old hit the Cannes scene on Sunday, it came as a shock to see the Hollywood hunk look anything less than handsome.
Unfortunately, the actor stepped onto a yacht looking bloated and aged.

Former hunk: The 48-year-old, who usually sports thick facial hair, opted for a clean-shaven look that exposed his drooping jawline

He usually adorns his face and neck with grizzly facial hair, but Keanu went for a clean shaven look that revealed a drooping jaw and neckline.
Attempting to hold onto his Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures youth, the star wore his black locks long in a beach-boy style that only acted as a harsh contrast to his ageing face.
Perhaps a late night of partying caused his eyes to appear puffier than usual, but the actor looked tired nonetheless.

Had too much? Seeing that the Cannes Film Festival is chock full of parties and flowing booze, perhaps the actor had been out late the night prior enjoying himself

Further adding to his less-than-hunky appearance was a grey tight V-neck T-shirt that hugged his bloated midsection.
A cream linen blazer layered over his shirt and distressed denim, concealing part of his weight gain.
The action star has two films that are set to be released later in 2013, both of which must have required that Keanu be in top form.

The good old days: In 1991's Point Break, Keanu was at the peak of his handsomeness
In 47 Ronin, the actor stars as an 18th century samurai who sets out to avenge the death

In 47 Ronin, the actor stars as an 18th century samurai who sets out to avenge the death of his troupe's master.
Additionally, in Man of Tai Chi, Keanu directs and stars in the film based on martial artists.
It's quite possible the actor is just letting loose in his off season after months of filming and recently promoting the film Generation Um...
Keanu is also rumoured to be in talks to star alongside Reese Witherspoon in new sci-fi film Passengers, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
