Keanu Reeves Goes Through An Emergency Landing, Shares A Van With Other Passengers Instead Of Private Luxurious Ride
Keanu Reeves has once again shown his good side. Which, at this point, seems like the only one he has. This time, the 54-year-old actor was on a flight from San Francisco to Los Angeles when the plane made an emergency landing in Bakersfield, California. That’s a nearly two-hour drive from the Burbank Airport. And, according to eye witnesses and online footage, Mr Reeves not only organized everyone into a group, he joined them on the bus ride to their destination and made the most out of it.

The flight diverted due to a “mechanical indication” and landed “safely without incident,” according to Freddy Lemmo, a representative for SkyWest, an airline that frequently operates on behalf of other airlines, in this case, United Express.

Captured and shared by multiple social media users, Mr Reeves is shown calmly speaking to an airline representative and leading a discussion with a group of passengers, trying to figure out the most efficient way to get to Burbank.
“The people who can unload the bags won’t be here for three hours. The vans will be here in an hour,” he said and proceeded to explain that it would be much easier to leave and worry about luggage later. At that point, they decided that a bus ride to L.A. was the most optimal solution.

And it looks like Mr Reeves is the person you want to ride with. The actor kept the group entertained by reading out facts about Bakersfield and playing music native to the area.
“Its population is about 380,000, making it the 9th most popular city in California, and the 52nd most popular city in the nation,” Reeves was seen reading from his phone on a fellow passenger’s Instagram story that has since expired.

People were incredibly delighted to hear another story about Mr Reeves
At this point, I'm pretty sure Keanu isn't a human being. He must be some kind of angel send by some god to do good for the humans and be an example for mankind. Become a movie star so the would get the attention. And I haven't talked about the fact he doesn't age. This man is out of this world.
Yeah this was pretty cool. With his wealth could’ve easily rented a car and just drove himself the rest of the way, or paid for car service...... but he decided to go along for the adventure! which is awesome!!!
Load More Replies...He is such a lovely man. He grew up in Toronto, so he is sort of Canadian, and Canadians are known for our friendliness !
What a man! All the wonderful stories about Keanu Reeves could fill a book.
I had the opportunity to meet him like +25 years ago in Lausanne... It was a little bit after Point Break... We went on the bus at the same bus stop and were going to the same destination. And sat on the same place and had a chat (about the area, vineyards, mountains and lake, like "normal people" do when they chat during a bus ride) \o/ So, yes, I took a bus ride with Keanu Reeves, in Lausanne, a looong time ago ! I love my life, lol !
We are riding in a Bus... with Keanu? are you sure? why does this sound familiar? does the bus have a SPEED limit?
But everyone still saw fit to bother him for selfies. I feel like if you respect and appreciate the man just being a mensch, then leave him the heck alone and stop using him for self-glorying gratification.
He is a genuinely kind and gracious man, who appreciates that his success is due to the public. He is an extrordinary guy who enjoys being an "ordinary guy". I suspect he gets a good feeling by making someone incredibly happy with a few seconds of his time. Once the selfies are done he can just enjoy the rest of the few hours of normality with his new friends. If he didn't want to be "bothered" by genuine affection he would have booked a private plane for a ridiculous amount of money.
Load More Replies...If more celebs understood that acting/entertaining is their job & they are not more - or less - than anyone else...there would be many happier celebs. Keanu is an example others should follow. And he's also Canadian...and that makes me very proud! Good on ya, eh!
I think he is a great person and has not let stardom get to him. He is one of the most down to earth famous people and treats people like he would like to be treated. He is truly an amazing person. I cannot wait for the next Bill and Ted's adventure to come out.
I've never been a fan of Reeves as an actor, as I don't think his acting skills are all that they're cracked up to be personally, but I like him as a person. He's one of probably the only celebrities I'd really ever want to meet, simply because of stories like this. He's such a nice, chill guy and the world of fame needs way more people like him
good for Keanu! he figured out that being accessible and nice to fans will make his popularity soar... this guy will still be making movies when he is 100... thanks, Keanu... Stay Cool!
I think i should be jealous that they met him, but in mire glad no one was injured. And i must say Keanu Reevs is a uniqe starr among actors
So he did what everyone does? Goddamn, this celebrity worship culture is beyond ridiculous.
Other celebrities wouldn’t do that though. They would probably book a private transfer.
