Even on his own birthday, Keanu Reeves was the humblest actor ever, stopping for fans at the LAX airport, without any type of security. The stories of Keanu Reeves being a class act are truly endless, and we’re going to reveal some of them in the following. However, we’re also going to take a look back at a rare moment that saw Keanu get upset with autograph-seekers. Reeves had every right to get angry given the situation.
We’ll take a look at what went down, and how fans reacted to the viral moment. In addition, we’ll reveal the type of interactions Keanu opposes most with fans.
Let’s take a closer look.
Keanu Reeves Got Tired Of A Fan Chasing Him Around Asking For An Autograph
Keanu Reeves lashing out at fans? It can’t be… We saw something similar in the past with Tom Hanks. He’s one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, but lost it when the media got overly excited and almost knocked down his wife.
As for Keanu, well, looking at the footage, we really can’t blame him for losing his cool. And although he was upset, Keanu still signed the autograph, which just goes to show how much of a class act the actor really is.
Reeves had enough after autograph-seekers just wouldn’t live him alone. Keanu said, “Can I have some f****** time to myself. Leave me the f*** alone man.” One of the auto-seekers says, “I see your point,” while Reeves furiously answers, “No, you don’t see my f****** point.”
Reeves proceeds to sign the autograph while walking away from the fans. It was a rare occurrence that saw the actor lose his cool.
As expected, fans were heartbroken for Keanu after watching the candid footage.
A tough experience for Keanu, but in truth, he deals with these types of scenarios on a regular.
Keanu Reeves Admitted He Often Gets Asked Personal Questions By Fans
Sure, Keanu is the nicest guy in Hollywood, but his epic movie stardom has also breached his privacy on multiple occasions. Not only do fans rudely ask for autographs, but Keanu admits they also ask him very personal questions.
He tells E News, “I came to Hollywood to be in movies. I feel really grateful that I’ve had that opportunity, but I’m just a private person, and it’s nice that can still exist.”
“I always find it surreal that complete strangers come up and ask me personal questions. I don’t mind speaking about work, but when the talk turns to ‘Who are you?’ and ‘What do you do off-screen?’ I’m like, ‘Get out of here.’ I’ve been in situations where people have felt they had a relationship with me or something and I didn’t even know who they were.”
Fame has certainly been tough for Keanu at times. Nonetheless, there are countless stories of Keanu being a class act with fans, and going out of his way to be a nice guy.
Keanu Reeves Being A Class Act Stories Are Endless
We have seen lots of proof that Keanu Reeves is the nicest guy in Hollywood. Several film staff have commented on working with Keanu. He’s a class act that also ensures everyone is properly treated.
A Redditor wrote, “A family friend builds movie sets, doesn’t design, is one of the poor dudes that just builds. Anyways he worked on the set for the Matrix and Keanu heard about family trouble he was having and gave him a $20,000 Christmas bonus to help him out. He also was one of the only people on the set that genuinely wanted to know peoples names, would say hello and mean it, and would talk to people as they were his peers and not below him just because they were practically making nothing to build a set.”
Keanu being nice has nothing to do with his success either. Another Redditor claims he was like that early on in his career.
“Back in the late 90s and fresh out of college I got my first job as an assistant prop designer on the set of Chain Reaction (Keanu was a supporting actor with Morgan Freeman). EVERY DAY for the last few weeks of filming, Keanu treated the stage hands and “grunt workers” (including myself) by taking us out for free breakfast and lunch. He was genuinely a very nice guy to work with. Since then, I’ve worked on about 30 different sets and have never met an actor as generous and friendly as him.”
It is no secret as to why everyone wants to work with Keanu.
