The John Wick star is as badass in real life as he is in the movies.
Keanu Reeves is known for his action-hero persona in films like The Matrix and John Wick. The actor has trained in martial arts and received tactical training for his intense action sequences in the John Wick franchise and even performed many of them on his own.
However, Reeves is not just a badass on-screen but also off-screen. The actor reportedly has a prized motorcycle collection which he is extremely proud of. Reeves was so attached to his hobby of riding that he did not stop even after multiple accidents, including one that was near fatal.

Actor Keanu Reeves has faced many hardships in life. From losing his girlfriend to having multiple career setbacks to having a stillborn child, the actor has seen it all and still manages to be one of the kindest personalities in Hollywood. The actor is known for his incredible conviction and kind heart.
The actor has often spoken about his motorcycle collection and his love for riding. He owns a working garage named ARCH Motorcycles with designer Gard Hollinger. The actor also reportedly gifted Harley Davidson motorcycles to his stunt team on the sets of The Matrix Reloaded (via SCMP).

While his love for motorcycles is unconditional, the hobby has sometimes proved dangerous to the John Wick star. Recounting a near-fatal accident in 1988 where he lay bleeding on the floor for half an hour, Reeves told Esquire,
This one took a car bumper off. It was, like, ‘ooof’. You could see the bone. You know, it’s weird. After the accidents the adrenalin kicks in, so it’s not really painful. Maybe the broken ribs part. That was pretty uncomfortable.
The actor has reportedly broken multiple things while indulging in his dangerous hobby, but the Baba Yaga seems to have no intention of slowing down.

Keanu Reeves is known as the kindest guy in Hollywood and has often been loved by fans for his humble nature. The actor has often been seen attending fan weddings, entertaining passengers amidst flight delays, and even helping fellow crew members during their times of need.
While the breathtaking man is open about his soft side, he is also equally vocal about his love for motorcycles. He reportedly owns several Norton motorcycles as well as a Suzuki GS1100E, Suzuki GSX-R750, 1974 BMW 750, a Kawasaki KZ 900, and an ‘84 Harley Shovelhead among others (via GQ).
Reeves mentioned that bikes were his preferred mode of transportation and that he loves the feeling he gets when he rides. He told Esquire,
It’s the physical sensation of riding, the wind, the smell, the sights, the connection to the machine, the living-in-nature. It demands a kind of attention and presentness. It’s also good to go out and think a little bit, so you can get lost in the now. Or you can also kind of reflect. You’re moving on the surface of the planet.
The actor has also mentioned that he credited his love for motorcycles to his exposure to motorcycle gangs in Toronto.
