It’s tough to find someone that truly doesn’t like Keanu Reeves. Not many people have negative things to say about his personality (he’s a very altruistic and humble person), and he never has scandals that rock the headlines.

In fact, the worst thing he ever did was sit on a park bench eating a sandwich and looking way too sad. He still hasn’t lived it down!

Still, some fans are just a bit confused about why Keanu is so intensely popular. Here’s why.

Even Fans Can Admit Keanu Reeves Has One Flaw

Alright, so everyone agrees that Keanu Reeves is 100 percent wholesome, for a whole bunch of reasons. And he has acted in a lot of iconic roles. But while fans admit that he’s carried some film franchises to success, some more outspoken commenters are a bit miffed by the level of fame he’s achieved.

Basically, even the most ardent supporters of Keanu think that he hasn’t really improved on his craft over the years… He’s not the worst actor ever, but… he’s also not the best.

Even His Supporters Say Keanu Misses The Mark

It’s one thing to be loved by millions for being a good person. But it’s another thing entirely to be loved by fans for one’s ability to seamlessly flow into role after role, with changing scripts, characters, and quirks.

The bottom line, says one outspoken fan, is that some actors are “terrible human beings but the quality of their work was outstanding and admirable.” Unfortunately, Keanu has the opposite circumstance — according to the Quora critic.

His Acting Hasn’t Changed All That Much

One of the biggest indicators of an actor’s abilities is how well viewers can forget who said actor is while they’re portraying a character. But Reeves lacks that, says the Keanu critic, instead acting “stiff and wooden in everything” with “little emotions nor range.”

The critic also alleges that producers try to angle for ‘easy’ roles for Reeves, knowing that his name in the credits can help their film blow up, no matter how poorly he pulls off the gig.

On the other hand, some fans say that Keanu is amazing at everything he does and that he also needs to join the MCU to bring one particular character to life. Odds are, he’d divide fans in that role, too.

Still, Everyone Loves Keanu Reeves

It’s a pretty harsh criticism of an actor who’s both made and donated millions of dollars. But the critic’s explanation of Keanu’s fame was an answer to the question “why do people seem to hate Keanu Reeves?” which could explain their honest perspective.

The answer as to why some people “hate” Keanu, says the commenter, is because they confuse him with his poor acting skills — hating the man instead of the act. Or, as another commenter giggled, the “lack thereof.”
