Although the meme was pretty big a couple of years ago, people still have a soft spot in their hearts for this tragic celebrity figure.
Created by Japanese toy builder idk, the Sad Keanu Action Figure allows people to not only play with the somber actor, it is also a constant reminder to look on the brighter side of life. The Sad Keanu Action Figure was hilariously posed in a variety of ways, from being comforted by a shirtless Tony Stark to being surrounded by anime schoolgirls.
