Keanu Reeves better watch out because he has a new competitor for the chillest man in New York. After you see the photos below, you'll wonder if someone just turned on the A.C. in your heart.

Tipster Chris W. spotted the hypothermically chill man on an uptown 6 train at 5 p.m. on Tuesday. He was sprawled out on the seat from 14th Street to 77th Street. "He wasn't drunk, or high, just tired I guess," the tipster speculated. "He kept looking around then closing his eyes pretending to sleep."

This man ought be more careful when he goes out in public, because not everyone's immune systems can handle such extreme levels of chill.
