Keanu Reeves got thrust into the spotlight thanks to his tremendous acting career. However, along the way, fans have learned that the man behind the many characters, is even more fascinating.

Despite his fame, Reeves has a refreshing outlook on life, which clearly isn’t like any other Hollywood celeb.

Keanu can captivate any audience, and that was once again evident during his time on Stephen Colbert’s Late Show, with his thoughts on the afterlife.

Keanu has turned into a motivator for millions, as fans binge-watch his motivation speeches on the regular. In one of his talks, Reeves revealed why he does things alone, like watching movies in the afternoon with nobody by his side.

Keanu Reeves Always Had A Different Outlook On Life

Keanu Reeves just views life differently, especially when it comes to his lifestyle in the limelight. Reeves had a tough upbringing, which included a broken relationship with his father. To this very day, the two are not on talking terms, and it doesn’t appear as though things will change.

When it comes to his personal life, the actor revealed alongside Whoa Is Not Meto never having a problem with being regarded as an outsider.

“I’m more comfortable with being an outsider who gets to wander and observe and slowly piece together all the fragments and try to make sense of things. But then again, sometimes you discover that there’s a lot about life that doesn’t make sense and you need to accept that and just go on regardless.”

In addition, Keanu has a different overview as to what it is like being a film star, especially when it comes to not getting consumed by fame.

“I’ve never understood the process of being a movie star if that’s what I am… The work is real, my commitment to acting is real, but the money that goes with it and everything else is totally out of this world. I enjoy the freedom that comes with the money, but I really don’t have the kind of acquisitive mentality to live a big life.”

These are words that Keanu has clearly backed up, given his humble lifestyle.

Keanu Reeves is a simple man. Over on YouTube, his motivational quotes have been played on a loop by fans, one in particular has over 200K views. In the video, Keanu discusses why he has no problems going to watch a movie alone, even in the afternoon.

“I’ve been lucky to have a career, but I’ve always tried to keep it simple. It’s just in my nature, You know sometimes I go to the afternoon movie alone.”

This is just a small example of Keanu Reeves and the things he chooses to partake on his own. Even when the actor is at the airport, he chooses to do so alone and without any security. He is also known to stop and chat with his fans, something lots of Hollywood stars are not willing to do for privacy purposes.

The actor truly has an image unlike anyone else.

Keanu Reeves Is Not Motivated By Money

He is one of the most giving celebrities in the world and a major reason for it, is that Keanu wishes not to live life based on numbers in a bank account.

“Money doesn’t mean anything to me. I’ve made a lot of money, but I want to enjoy life and not stress myself building my bank account. I give lots away and live simply, mostly out of a suitcase in hotels. We all know that good health is much more important.”

When it comes to the actor’s spending habits, they’re far from outrageous. Keanu just has an appreciation for motorcycles and wine.

He stated, “My only vices are motorcycles and expensive bottles of red wine. I don’t have a huge wardrobe of clothes and I don’t live in a palatial house. I’m happy just to be able to travel a bit and experience the world and not worry about paying bills.”

At the age of 58, Keanu continues to be one of the most humble and interesting men not just in Hollywood, but the world.
