"I would love to play John Constantine again."

Yes. Finally. Please.

[TheAmazingHuman]

"I've tried Stephen." Thousand hearts automatically shatters to pieces.

[burnyizland]

Keanu always looks like he's still surprised to be famous. Like he understands it's just a job, like any other.

[misss.]

Keanu's hands were shaking, yet he tried his best to be comfortable while being interviewed. Despite his celebrity and wealth, he has remained humane and humble.

With "Meme On Me" Keanu has created his greatest meme yet.

[andregordon]

When Stephen asked the first question i was literally yelling "CONSTANTINE!" into my monitor. I'm so happy Keanu agrees lol

[Vyxsin]

We must protect this man at all costs.

[MrBigBawls]

"Meme on me, when you're not strong" That hits deep, Reeves.

[thalesn]

Keanu says he was hungry, that he had a lot of stuff going on, but we all know that, like the comic book character, he was also contemplating his own immortality. You know what I'm talking about.

[jessecandiver]

His awkward charm is so genuine. A lot of other stars try to replicate it, but they cannot.

[sandrajohnson]

Adult Keanu is still so much like teenage Keanu. I love that.

[SliderFury]

What a lovely human being. He genuinely doesn't get why people meme on him, but absolutely WANTS them to do it because he can see that it makes them happy, and that makes him happy.

[matthewcalhoun]

He seems like a genuine, compassionate, and kind person. That seems so rare in Hollywood.

[stephennicholas]

I like Keanu’s humility and normalcy. He’s just a dude that has to promote the work that isn’t just on him but for the entire production. He seems like an introvert being put on a spotlight. I say that in a good way.

[alterego]

Keanu Reeves...the only person I can classify as "comfortably awkward". Love that dude.

[mungoslast]

“Someone born 80, 000 years ago who’s half human and half a god.” So he based the character off of himself 😂

[Orcishihi]

I love how Keanu just 'shines' positivity. It's making me want to do things, go out and create instead of working and watching clips on Youtube...

[JT-lpng]

This man is a gift. I love him. I loved his cameo in the Netflix movie “Always Be My Maybe.” He was ridiculous and it’s such a contrast to how he usually is.

[LA-MJ]

He is memeable because he is a genuine human being one can actually relate to

[DearlyBeloved]

We definitely need a Constantine sequel. We need more people like Keanu to look up to. I love how he stayed normal even after decades of fame. Such a breath of fresh air from the usual fake personas of other actors. Love this man.
