Keanu Reeves and other vampires. Stories about the kindest and most selfless Hollywood actor - Keanu Reeves (8 photos) Keanu Reeves vampires among us
Fans of American actor Keanu Reeves seriously believe that he is immortal
Reeves fans have launched numerous bizarre online campaigns, such as June 15, 2010 being declared Cheer Up Keanu Day, and more recently he has been the subject of more speculation on blogs and twitter that he is in fact a vampire. Such insinuations appeared due to the fact that the actor has not changed for years. Some have even suggested the "Matrix" theory: "We all live in a matrix created by Keanu." One of the supporters of the theory that Reeves is a vampire posted a video in which he claims that Keanu is the French actor Paul Monet, who was born in 1847.
Keanu rarely appears on the red carpet, but the other day he visited the film festival in Berlin
"It only makes sense that Keanu Reeves is either a vampire or immortal." At 47, he has no noticeable wrinkles or other signs of aging. Keanu once again demonstrated this by appearing on the red carpet of the Berlin Film Festival. The actor did not star in the new film, he became a producer documentary film Side by Side. Reeves came to the premiere in a black three-piece suit, a light-colored shirt and worn-out old sneakers, which clearly stood out from the overall almost elegant look.

VIDEO: Keanu Reeves is immortal
Which surprised us and even touched us a little.
Keanu Reeves is famous for his modesty and deservedly considered almost the kindest person in Hollywood. Of course, we can only judge by the stories that are circulating on the Internet, but I want to believe that they did not appear on empty place. Here's everything we've found out about Reeves, who is undeservedly considered the most depressing person in the world because of the popular "sad Keanu" meme.
1. Keanu and the set
The most famous story, associated with the filming, happened back in the days of The Matrix. After the success of the first film, the actor decided to forego some of his future earnings, which, according to third-party estimates, amounted to approximately $ 80 million, in favor of the special effects team and costume designers. Reeves believed that they deserved the credit for their work on the film more than anyone else. He did not forget about the stuntmen either - he bought a motorcycle for absolutely everyone who worked on the sequels to The Matrix. Reeves himself loves bikes very much, so the Harleys for the stunt team have become a real gift from the heart.
For one of the workers involved in the design of the scenery, Reeves decided to establish an award for Christmas after learning that he was in trouble. So the man received an unexpected gift - 20 thousand dollars, as his friend later told on Reddit. The rest of the time, the actor simply liked to buy lunch for everyone working on the set and always tried to get to know everyone with whom he worked, and be sure to remember the names. Money, in his own words, is not the main thing for him. The Matrix star believes he already has more than enough "for the next couple of centuries." Given the jokes about Keanu being a vampire, or at least immortal, perhaps he was being literal.
2. Keanu and the homeless
The main case was documented for the descendants of the paparazzi. The story is simple: in 1997, Keanu spent the morning with a homeless man in Hollywood. The actor was walking, saw a homeless man and decided to sit down with him and talk about life, and at the same time have breakfast and drinks together. The story was scattered with the captions "Keanu treats the homeless as an equal." The case is truly exceptional in its kindness. Before you get indignant, they say, it would be better for him to buy an apartment, think about it: few of us have ever really helped or even just communicated with the homeless without any neglect. This approach is the best illustration of the theory of small things: change does not begin with grand gestures, but with a humane attitude towards each other.
3. Keanu and other stars
When it comes to work, two stories usually come up about how Keanu refused part of the fee in order to be able to invite more expensive and cool actors to work on the tape. We will not take into account that we are talking, perhaps, not about his most outstanding films, such an approach shows a responsible and conscientious attitude to work. In The Understudies, Reeves agreed to a substantial 90% reduction in his fee so that Oscar-winning Gene Hackman could be called. A similar story happened in the planning of The Devil's Advocate. Reeves was ready to give up part of his earnings in the amount of several million, if only there was an opportunity to invite Al Pacino to the film, which is why he undoubtedly won.
4. Keanu and sister
Reeves, to put it mildly, was not very lucky throughout his life. Thirty-three misfortunes befell him. When the “sad Keanu” meme appeared, everyone remembered that the actor had not just a difficult childhood: his best friend River Phoenix died of an overdose, and Reeves' girlfriend died in a car accident shortly after they lost their baby. It seems that the actor managed to get out of all this hell only thanks to his altruism: the more he lost, the more he gave.
When his sister became ill with leukemia, he moved to live near her and also invested more than $5 million in research into the disease in the hope of a potential cure. Reeves donated money to the hospital where she was treated to help research the dreaded disease. In moments of exacerbation, he postponed filming and devoted all his time to caring for his sister, the last close person he had left. Reeves also started his own cancer foundation.
5. Keanu and the subway
Contrary to the stupid headline “Well done or asshole?”, Everything is as simple as possible here. Keanu saw a woman with a heavy bag and asked if she wanted to sit down. The girl agreed - so the actor gave her a place. Separately, we note that Reeves does not disdain to use public transport, and therefore well done, and the black guy who sat down next door clearly has nothing to do with it.
6. Keanu and the crazy fans
Like any movie star, Reeves regularly clashes with his group of not-so-healthy admirers. For example, stalkers climbed into his house more than once. On one of these visits, he solved the problem without resorting to shouting or drastic measures: he calmed down a desperate fan by simply talking to her, and only after that he called the police to report what had happened. Another woman, whom Keanu has never dated, claimed that he pulled off an American Horror Story-esque stunt by dressing up as her husband in order to have four children with her. Scandal, obviously, did not follow. Instead of meaningless bickering, Reeves chose the simplest way out of the situation - he agreed to take a genetic test to verify paternity. As expected, there were no surprises, and the litigation initiated by the woman instantly came to naught, as did the requirement for alimony of three million dollars.
7. Keanu and "Ode to Happiness"
Despite his misfortunes, Keanu loves yoga and tries to maintain a positive outlook on life. Together with artist Alexandra Grant, he released Ode to Happiness in 2011. Ode is an "adult picture book" consisting of a poem by Reeves. The actor initially wrote it as a joke for friends, inspired by his friend Jamie, who loves the most sad music. Each page is devoted to one line, above which is a simple illustration made in ink. The pictures on purpose look like they were blurred with tears, but the end of the book is life-affirming - all these lines are about “disappointment shampoo” and “ hot bath sorrows" are actually written with irony for those reveling in their own grief. “It can always be worse,” the actor recalls, for which many thanks to him.
