Actor Keanu Reeves gave an autograph session in Los Angeles for his comic book series “BRZRKR”. A video of this surprise date has now made the rounds. Because Keanu met a nine-year-old superfan named Noah there and talked to him for quite a while.
“I’m such a big fan,” the little boy says. “What’s your name?” Reeves wants to know. “Noah, my name is Noah”. “Hi Noah, I’m Keanu,” the actor greets. “You are probably my favorite actor in the whole world,” the little boy lets him know. “Oh my god, Noah, thank you,” Reeves said. “Have you seen Duke Caboom in ‘Toy Story 4’?” he asks. “Oh yeah! He’s my favorite character,” says Noah enthusiastically. Reeves repeats a line from the film: “Canada’s best stuntman!” He becomes more serious again: “I’m very glad you liked it. I really enjoyed playing Duke Caboom.”
The video only lasts 24 seconds, but it shows what a nice person Keanu Reeves is. It’s no secret among fans. The actor has often attracted attention in the past with his positive nature and loving interaction with his fans.
On Twitter, where “IGN” shared the video, the clip has been viewed nearly two million times. In the comments, everyone agrees: Reeves is difficult. “I want to be like him,” writes one. “The world needs more people like him,” wishes another. “What an honest and nice exchange,” says a spectator.
What arguably delights fans most about Keanu Reeves is the fact that he’s managed to maintain his kind and honest demeanor despite more than one occasion of tragedy getting in his way. His father left him when he was three, a close friend died of an overdose, his daughter Ava was stillborn and his girlfriend died in a car accident.
Reeves never let that get him down, always stayed positive and, despite his fame, always finds nice words for (even intrusive) fans. He is also known for donations and exemplary dealings with film crews.
