The 'Keanu Reeves Walking in Slow Motion' meme originates from a standout scene in the 2019 Netflix romantic comedy 'Always Be My Maybe'. In the film, Keanu Reeves plays a fictionalized, hyper-eccentric version of himself, making a grand entrance into a restaurant to the dramatic beat of AWOLNATION's song 'Sail'. The scene's exaggerated coolness and Keanu's deadpan intensity immediately resonated with the internet, turning it into the ultimate template for 'unearned confidence' or 'dramatic arrivals'. It is widely used to celebrate minor achievements or to mock people who take themselves too seriously, all while celebrating the universal internet love for Keanu Reeves.
