Keanu Reeves reveals he once dressed up for Halloween as Dolly Parton as the Playboy Bunny
Keanu Reeves said his favorite costume he wore for Halloween was as Dolly Parton on the cover of Playboy in 1978.
The A-list actor, 57, appearing Wednesday on Red Table Talk with his The Matrix Resurrections costars Carrie Ann Moss, 54, and host Jada Pinkett Smith, 50, was asked what his favorite Halloween costume he ever wore was.
‘I was Dolly Parton as the Playboy Bunny,’ Reeves said. ‘My mother was a costume designer and she made some costumes for Dolly Parton and she once did the cover of Playboy.’

On the cover, Parton wore a black and pink sequined costume which was initially designed by the late Zelda Wynn Valdes, who was the first ever Black designer to have a shop on Broadway Street in New York.
‘Somehow I guess [Dolly] didn’t take that home, so we had it, and it was Halloween,’ Reeves said. ‘So I put on the ears, then the bustier, I wore sneakers with fishnet stockings and a bowtie. I had some pretty long hair.’
Parton this past summer recreated the Playboy look to celebrate her husband Carl Dean’s 79th birthday in a clip she posted on social media.
‘He still thinks I’m a hot chick after 57 years and I’m not going to try to talk him out of that,’ Parton said. ‘I was kind of a little butterball in that one. Well, I’m string cheese now, but he’ll probably think I’m cream cheese, I hope.’

In the Red Table Talk interview, Reeves was also asked about about his reputation as Hollywood’s nicest guy, and how he gives back to himself.
He said he likes going for motorcycle rides, reading and going to the movies, as well as working.
‘For me, my work is that as well,’ he said. ‘I often sometimes get asked, “You know, you’ve been at this for a while,” and they’re like, “Do you still love it?” And I’m like, “Yeah, I love it even more.” For me, work is life.’
The Matrix Resurrections is set to debut on December 22 in both theaters and on HBO Max.
