“Hold on!”
was called.
According to the U.S. site RadarOnline, artist Alexandra Grant, who has been in a relationship with Keanu for over 10 years, feared that his obsession with racing could end in tragedy and presented him with an ultimate choice.
He spun out of control and went off the track into the grassy area.
According to sources revealed to the site, 60-year-old Keanu almost crashed during his debut race as a professional racer, spinning out of control. This incident made 54-year-old Alexandra feel fearful about Keanu’s obsession with racing.
“Keanu started 31st out of 35 cars. He showed great effort, moving up to 21st place mid-race, but lost control at the corner exit and spun off into the grassy area. Fortunately, he avoided a crash, and since there was no damage to the car, he quickly returned to the track. He ultimately finished in 25th place,” said a women’s magazine reporter.
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where the race took place, is the world’s oldest race course, established in 1909. It features a rectangular oval track of approximately 4 kilometers in length, with four turns that are banked up to 9 degrees. Keanu spun out in one of these challenging turns influenced by banking.
Grant, who has been dating Keanu for five years, had previously been supportive of his participation in car races. However, according to the aforementioned sources,
“She had even gone to the circuit and waved at him. But after this incident, she was really scared,” the site reported.
It is reported that she said to the site.
Removed his spleen in a motorcycle accident at age 23.
Additionally,
“She clearly told him, ‘Either car racing or the end of our relationship,’” (same source).
It is said that she forced an ultimatum between racing and me.
On the other hand, Keanu’s representative denied that Grant gave an ultimatum, saying,
“Grant supports everything Keanu wants to do.”
However, this remains a point of curiosity.
At the age of 23, Keanu was involved in a motorcycle accident in Los Angeles, where he fell on a hairpin curve and had to undergo surgery to remove his spleen. This is Keanu’s first professional race, but he has a track record of winning a celebrity race at the Toyota Grand Prix in Long Beach in 2009. Keanu said,
“Both racing and acting require focus and quick decision-making, which is something they have in common. I think I can apply this experience to my acting as well.”
He said.
Keanu, who was captivated by his breakout role in Speed, now faces the question of how he will respond to the race withdrawal suggestion from his beloved Grant. The outcome of this situation is eagerly anticipated.
