Old School. Biblically Independent.

That’s Keanu Reeves from The Gift, above, and he’s a better example of how little the redneck transformation actually transforms some actors. For some, a ball cap, some patchy facial hair, and an attitude is all it takes to turn a pretty boy Hollywood star into menacing white trash. Keanu Reeves? He lacked much of the attitude in Sam Raimi’s The Gift, and since Keanu Reeves often sports crappy facial hair, it wasn’t that convincing a performance. These performances, on the other hand, were completely transformative, and not just because of the redneck attire.
