Before they disclosed their relationship, Reeves and Grant joined forces and conceived a book together called “Ode to Happiness.” Reeves composed the poem in the book – with one line featuring on every page – while Grant worked on the accompanying illustrations.
And, notably, this was the first book that the Hollywood A-lister had ever released.
What Surprised Most People Was Her Hair
As unexpected as it was to see the famously single Reeves arriving with a date for the first time in years, Grant’s flowing silver hair and natural appearance grabbed even more attention. Grant is still in her 40s, but her tresses are already a bright shade of white we more often see on women much older than her.
It's certainly refreshing to see a woman who doesn't appear to mind at all about her gray hair. She didn’t dye her locks, either; they naturally turned that way before she turned 40.
Why She Doesn't Dye Her Hair
Apparently, Grant also has concerns about the safety of hair dye. She once posted an article on her Instagram account about the seeming risks of breast cancer among women who artificially colored their hair.
And alongside the post, she wrote, “I used to dye my hair every color until I couldn’t tolerate all the toxicity in the dyes anymore.”
Their Collaboration
In an interview regarding their book, Grant said of her and Reeves’ collaboration, “I’ve seen people cracking up over it. Then I showed it to someone at the local bookstore, and she started weeping, so you never know what the reaction will be."
Together, Grant and Reeves co-founded an art-focused publishing press in 2017, and she also used her art to start a charity to help other artists.
Their Age Difference
When news of their relationship first came to light, people remarked with glee that they looked as though they were approximately the same age. Not only did this shocker maintain the public’s view of Reeves as a man who has renounced the typical ways of A-list celebs.
It has also started a debate about why it’s so unusual for us to see older male movie stars dating age-appropriate women. Reeves is older than Grant by nine years; he was born in 1964 and she was born in 1973.
