handshake".
The 44-year-old actor - who can next be seen in sci-fi movie 'The Day the
Earth Stood Still' alongside Jennifer Connelly - felt more included in his
group of friends when he reached the landmark birthday.
He said: "It's funny - when you get to 40 it's like being in a club with a
secret handshake! I remember my doctor telling me to enjoy my forties
because I will still have my physical capabilities but also my life
experiences.
"We should take advantage of that before the physical capabilities slip
away."
Keanu - who has previously starred in movies including 'The Matrix' film
franchise and 'Constantine' - also said he doesn't mind if he becomes known
for starring in sci-fi movies because he enjoys the genre.
He added to Britain's The Daily Telegraph newspaper: "I grew up liking
science fiction - it's almost like a Trojan horse. You can put any other
genre inside. You can do a romance like 'Blade Runner', you can do an action
romance like 'Star Wars' or a comedy like 'Spaceballs'. It really translates
well into other genres.
"As to whether I get stereotyped for doing sci-fi, I don't know. For me,
sci-fi is just one of the things I can do."

This scene from Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey with Death is hilarious.
