27 Awesome Things About Keanu Reeves That Will Make You Fall In Love With Him Even More
Anyone would think we were back in the 1990s, what with all this Keanu Reeves love going on right now. What is it about this guy that keeps people coming back for more? Why is Keanu the coolest guy on the internet in 2019 and not, let's say, Brendan Fraser for example? So many stars have burned brightly and quietly flickered out, and yet Keanu just seems to go from strength to strength.
Sure, he's a great actor who continues to be one of the best in the business, but he has starred in enough turkeys to have killed a lesser man's career. He challenges his skills on stage at the theatre and also plays guitar for various bands, but so does Russell Crowe? So that's not it.
No, Keanu's appeal lies in his chill, humble personality, and the kindness and openness he shows toward his fans. Need some more examples? We here at Bored Panda have collected a list of our favorite Keanu moments for you to enjoy, but be warned, they might make you admire the man even more!

Keanu Reeves, is also intelligent, unique, handsome, sexy, and interesting.
The Canadian-American actor and musician gained fame for his starring role performances in several blockbuster films, including comedies from the Bill and Ted franchise (1989–1991); action thrillers Point Break (1991), Speed (1994), and the John Wick franchise (2014–2019); psychological thriller The Devil's Advocate (1997); supernatural thriller Constantine (2005); and science fiction/action series The Matrix (1999–2003). He has also appeared in dramatic films, such as Dangerous Liaisons (1988), My Own Private Idaho (1991), and Little Buddha (1993), as well as the romantic horror Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992).
Keanu has earned critical acclaim for his acting. One New York Times critic praised Reeves' versatility, saying that he "displays considerable discipline and range... he moves easily between the buttoned-down demeanor that suits a police procedural story and the loose-jointed manner of his comic roles". However, Reeves has spent much of his later career being typecast. A recurring character arc in many roles he has portrayed is one of saving the world, as can be seen in the characters of Ted Logan, Siddhartha Buddha, Neo, Johnny Mnemonic, John Constantine, and Klaatu. The John Wick franchise represented a return to critical praise and commercial success for Reeves. His acting has garnered several awards, and he has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

I truly wish people understood EVERYbody has a storey to tell. Most are worth hearing. If only the world would listen. Stop judging.
Onstage, Reeves performed as Prince Hamlet for the Manitoba Theatre Centre's production of Hamlet. He is a musician and played bass guitar for the bands Dogstar and Becky. He wrote the text for a picture book, Ode to Happiness, illustrated by Alexandra Grant. He has also produced a documentary, Side by Side, and directed the martial arts film Man of Tai Chi.

Given all the tragedies he's lived through, gravity just may be the truest answer.
Reeves has set up a cancer charity, choosing not to attach his name to the organization; he has also supported PETA, the SickKids Foundation and Stand Up to Cancer. In 2014, he said in an interview that his sister Kim had battled leukemia for more than a decade.
Reeves is quoted as saying, "Money is the last thing I think about. I could live on what I have already made for the next few centuries." It has been reported that Reeves gave approximately $80 million of his $114 million earnings from The Matrix sequels, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, to the special effects and makeup staff. The story has been denied by special effects staff themselves as an urban legend.The story likely had its roots in a back-end deal Reeves made with the producers of The Matrix Reloaded, relinquishing his contractual right to a percentage of the earnings from the ticket sales. Reeves reportedly did so to allow producers the flexibility for an extensive special effects budget. The value of Reeves' forgone share of the ticket profits has been estimated at $38 million, which was added to the overall movie budget, rather than going directly to special effects.
Reeves co-founded a production company, Company Films. The company helped produce Henry's Crime, a film in which Reeves stars.
An avid motorcyclist, Reeves co-founded Arch Motorcycle Company, which builds and sells custom motorcycles. The man has done it all!

I watched that Sandra part, and she was hilarious. I laugh so hard when she said "I guess there's something about me...that keanu doesn't like", and the eyes part killing it. She and Ellen were so hillarious. And Keanu Reeves is really really awkward person. If no one knows who he is, people will think he was a rookie who just had his first big break interview.

"I have a private foundation that's been running for five or six years, and it helps aid a couple of children's hospitals and cancer research," Keanu said in a Ladies Home Journal article from 2009, according to Snopes.
"I don't like to attach my name to it, I just let the foundation do what it does."

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 eyewitnesses 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 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.

Pretty Pangolin 6 years ago
Yes, it says as much about us as it does about him (in a good way). We're not saying "Yeah, he whupped that guy's a*s!" or "That was such a clever insult" but valuing niceness and modesty. Our culture has been so overrun with bullies and yahoos that he's like the antidote. Even if he's not as perfect as he's made out to be, we can aspire to it ourselves.

The reporters did what paparazzi and the like do, making the celeb uncomfortable and hoping to get them to say something controversial. It's ignorant, but it's what our culture has come to. As much as I love the gossip these sharks get, I really do think all celebs should be allowed more privacy, as much as they want. That means if they are posting nude or almost nude pics on Instagram, they really shouldn't turn around and say they have no privacy. Keanu lives his life simply, with no apparent need to hide. Hopefully that would mean onnother things, like the charities he mentioned, we can give him his privacy.

He did a film first thing I saw him in river's edge. It was intense. I never forgot him I have liked all the roles he has chosen. I love the ones he does that no really remembers chain reaction, Parenthood they usually end up not getting mentioned. They end up my favorites.

To be brutally honest as is my fore, I held a semi~negative opinion of Mr. Reeves. I truly did not have a positive experience from the short exposure that I previously had. This was regarding his acting ability. However, with time, and broader experiences, I HAVE CATEGORICALLY ALTERED MY INITIAL IMPRESSIONS.😁 I apologize to Mr. Reeves, and his legion of fans, for this ERROR. Discovering his obvious HUMBLENESS, LOVE FOR ANIMALS, ET CETERA, is absolutely mind~blowing, and I have joined that LEGION OF FANS❗MANY THANKS TO MR. REEVES👏 HIS FANS👏, AND BORED PANDA🐼👏 FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO REDRESS MY SAD, ERROR❗I will be an active viewing participant in Mr. Reeves films🎥 ALL WAYS❗❗❗❗

Not sure what this one is supposed to prove. I think it is fine to buy new shoes if they are broken. Buying 700 pairs is when it is ridiculous.
Chris Jones 6 years ago
I don't disagree but if taping them up gave them a longer life and he doesn't care what it looks like then why not? It shows a distinct lack of interest in what other people think of his appearance and with so much focus of how a celebrity looks it's totally refreshing.

I was wondering about the shoes. They stuck out like a sore thumb in these photos. That's pretty cool. I had a pair of pink Converse years ago plus a pair of combat boots. I taped both up as long as I could because I loved them and couldn't afford to buy anymore like them if I could have found them back then.

Keanu reminds me of my brother who passed in 86 at 25 years of age. If I want to see Tim I watch a Keanu movie. I’ve watched all of them several times. I’ve always admired Keanu and wish I could be so lucky to just talk to him. He is truly a unique and genuine man with a heart of gold. Maybe if I put his picture on my board it will send a positive vibe into the universe to have our paths cross. If not in this life then in the next. Can’t wait for that to happen!

Lios - It's because he's better than nice. In a world where most celebrities have an ego the size of a house and think the world revolves around them he is a grounded person who uses his wealth to help others and then keeps quiet about it. He makes movies because he enjoys it but isn't in it for the fame and fortune. He isn't lecturing people on how to live their life like so many who are well-known. He isn't taking 'look at me' selfies. I have never been into worshipping celebrities - in fact I don't truly get why people are revered just because they do things that put them in the public eye. Keanu is admirable because he is a thoroughly decent human being in an industry that is frequently tainted by scandal. The kind of bloke you'd be chuffed to be friends with. He also loves dogs... enough said.
