Fun Facts about Keanu Reeves
Talented, humble and a good person… what else can we expect from a star?
These
qualities belong to the actor, whose most important roles were those of Neo
(“Matrix”) and John Wick. Throughout his career there was no controversy in
which he was involved, as is usually the case with most celebrities.
Undoubtedly, what stands out the most -when it comes to being part of a
project- is acting, generating positive reviews from professionals in the
film world and fans, who are currently waiting for the fourth part of the
two most popular tapes of his life. That is why today we bring you some
information about him, which you surely did not know.
The actor has Hawaiian descent and we know that this language is
different from English. In this language, Keanu means "fresh breeze from the
mountains".
We can notice that Reeves has an exotic face, with slanted eyes and
without being extremely white. His beauty is due to his father, descended
from Chinese, Portuguese, Irish, English and Hawaiians. His mother is from
Ess-x, England. About her family, she confessed, "My grandmother is Chinese
and Hawaiian, so I was around Chinese art, furniture, and cooking when she
was growing up."
Beginnings
The doors to the cinematographic world were opened to him thanks to
one of the husbands of his mother, Paul Aaron, who officiated as a director
of films and plays on Broadway. Although his passion was ice hockey, he also
had another great one and that was acting. Could you have imagined Hollywood
without him?
His First Role
He got his chance in the industry thanks to "Bill and Ted's Amazing
Journey," a production that ended up being a resounding success.
His steps through the music
He has also made a tour of other arts. He was a member of the grunge
and alternative rock band Dogstar, where he participated as a bassist. It
was formed in the early 1990s and ended in 2002.
Hard life
The actor fell in love with Jennifer Syme and later had a daughter
with her, named Ava Archer Reeves. The unfortunate fact was that she was
stillborn and that caused the artist to fall into a deep depression. In
addition, he separated from his beloved, with whom he got along well despite
the estrangement.
But things got complicated when she died in a traffic accident
in 2001. She was drunk, dollar bills rolled up with white powdery substance
were found, with two bottles of prescription drugs, a muscle relaxant and an
anticonvulsant. According to what is said, the actress wanted to return to a
party where she had attended hours before, at Marilyn Manson's house.
Currently, both Ava and Jennifer rest together in the Westwood
Village Cemetery, located in Los Angeles, California. A very hard blow for
the actor, who has confessed on several occasions that he still feels
despondent about what happened.
At the time that Keanu began to gain popularity in the cinema, he did
not do what most do: buy a property. He was living in rental houses and
hotels. Until 2003, when he decided to have his first home in the Hollywood
Hills.
In addition, we can see it using public transport. It is very
difficult to find a celebrity traveling on these services, but he is one of
those who frequents these places. Many times, admirers have seen him around
and he is not ashamed of it.
Good Actions
His younger sister had leukemia, cancer of the tissues that make up
the blood, including the bone marrow. This is why the actor donated a large
part of his money, which he raised with his work on "The Matrix", for the
treatment of the disease and for new research to be done on it.

Fell in love on set
He has confessed that, during the recording of “Speed”, he had
feelings for his co-star. Who was she? Nothing more and nothing less than
the beautiful Sandra Bullock. To be sure, the on-screen chemistry was quite
apparent, but nothing ended up happening between the two of them. And the
explanation as to why they didn't go through is quite comical: neither of
them told the other. The actress was encouraged to declare her infatuation
with her in public and the actor came out to answer that at the time she
felt the same way about her! Although they liked each other, they revealed
their secrets a little late.
Passion
Motorcycles are his hobby. Although he has suffered a motorcycle
accident, where he broke several ribs and his collarbone. Such was the bad
luck of the artist that, at the time the paramedics were transferring him,
he had another ro problem: he accidentally fell off his stretcher. But to
this day, she still has a love for this type of vehicle.
For this production, he consented to have his salary reduced - down
to a million dollars - so that the producers could hire Al Pacino. They
ended up giving him the likes, despite the fact that it cost him a fortune
to reduce, but the interpreter of Michael Corleone (“The Godfather”) ended
up accepting the proposal.
