Keanu Reeves has become one of the most beloved actors in Hollywood. From his charitable donations to his humble attitude, Reeves has shown time and again that he is a genuinely nice person who cares about others.

Additionally, Reeves is a bit fearless when it comes to his stunts. Reeves is known for doing as many of his own action scenes as possible. When he was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Reeves revealed that, while filming The Matrix: Resurrections, he jumped off a building “around 19, 20 times” in order to get the shot right. He estimated that the building was around 46 stories high.
The actor is quick to correct someone when they say he does his own stunts. He will say that he does the action and the stuntmen do the really dangerous scenes. However, Reeves is only human. He does have one fear, and that is failure.

In the end, Reeves really has nothing to worry about. He has turned in many stellar performances, and there is no reason to believe that his performance in the latest installment of the franchise is going to be any different.
