Keanu Reeves was spotted taking five on Thursday amid filming for his upcoming dark comedy Outcome.
The 59-year-old John Wick star sported his new close-cropped hairdo as he took a smoke break outside in Los Angeles.
While Reeves was relaxing, his costar and director Jonah Hill was seen elsewhere on set, as was the soap opera star Susan Lucci, whose participation in the film has not previously been reported.
Keanu — who was seen last month sharing some sweet kisses with his love Alexandra Grant on another film set — could be seen smiling as he carried on a phone conversation during his break.
He was swallowed up in a long black coat with baby blue fleece lining, and he rocked his usual cool, rugged style underneath with a light blue denim jacket and jeans in a matching shade.

The soap opera star Susan Lucci, whose participation in the film has not previously been reported, was seen in a busty blue ensemble on set
He paired them with tasteful set of dark brown leather boots, and h wore a plain white T-shirt underneath his jacket.
The actor wore a close-cropped salt-and-pepper beard, and he had his dark hair — which he has primarily worn in a shaggy ‘do in recent years for his John Wick and Matrix films — cut similarly short and swept slightly to the side.
In Outcome, the rejuvenated star plays the similarly named Reef, who is a major actor in Hollywood who is forced to confront his dark history and past transgressions after he is blackmailed with a mysterious video clip from his early days.
Despite the seemingly dark synopsis, the film, which will be distributed by Apple, is described as a dark comedy.
Jonah Hill is pulling double duty in front of and behind the camera on Outcome, as he is starring alongside Keanu while also directing.
Jonah previously proved himself as filmmaker with Mid90s, his feature directorial debut from 2018, which followed a group of teens in the stated period and received strong reviews from critics.
He subsequently proved that he also had a flare for non-fiction when he directed the 2022 documentary Stutz, which charted his ongoing struggles with mental health and his relationship with the title character, his therapist.
Jonah has lately been rocking long bleached-blond hair and a thick beard, possibly as preparation to play the Grateful Dead singer and lead guitarist Jerry Garcia for an upcoming biopic to be directed by his Wolf Of Wall Street collaborator Martin Scorsese, who visited the set late last month.
However, he has been sporting a closely buzzed hair cut on the Outcome set.
He was spotted in a dark green shirt jacket, which he wore open over a plain white button-up shirt tucked into a set of matching green pants that Hill had loosely cuffed.
The Superbad star still had his bushy beard, though it looked somewhat more tame, and he sported large eyeglass frames and yellow sneakers.
He was pictured carrying a metal water jug and his phone while tucking papers under his arm as he got into a large truck.
Rounding out the cast on Thursday was the soap opera star Susan Lucci, who was making a rare foray into feature filmmaking.
The 77-year-old television icon looked years younger than her age thanks to her playful cleavage-flashing costume.

Susan Lucci, 77, stunned in a blue suit with a bustier and a shrug that highlighted her cleavage. It’s not clear who she is playing in the dark comedy, which is being distributed by Apple
She wore a blue bustier and matching shrug decorated with gem and diamond prints, along with a set of matching pants in the same print.
She completely her outfit with tall violet boots, and she wore her brunette styled in voluminous waves.
The film is shaping up to have a stacked cast after Maestro actor Matt Bomer signed on in March, according to Deadline.
Cameron Diaz is also reportedly circling the production as she contemplates continuing her return to acting by collaborating with Reeves, with whom she previously starred years earlier in the 1996 crime comedy Feeling Minnesota, which was savaged by critics at the time.
