I met Keanu about 16 years ago at the premier of the Matrix movie in NYC. I worked at the movie theater as a cleaner and server. The entire night, I saw all the stars in the movie come and go without any of them looking at me or saying hello to me, perhaps because of my color and the cheap uniform I had on. For 16 years, I have never forgotten the event that will follow the first few hours after I begun my shift at work that evening. Keanu walked up to me and asked me how I was doing!! I said to myself "are you really talking to me?" Believe it or not, he actually came up to me and showed compassion and care. That was the last thing I ever expected anyone to do that evening. He proceed to ask me about my job and where I come from. And I told him I was from Ghana and have been working at the theater for about a year. He chatted with me for about 5 mins but it felt like forever. He then gave me a hug I will never forget. He is truly a good human being. I don't usually leave comments on YT but this is to confirm this video. Keanu is good.

Keanu Reeves is just delightful. Slightly awkward, but polite, intelligent, just a cool dude.

Describe the rest of your life in five words: "I'm going to be hopeful."

I know he went on to list things he'd want in his life, but he really nailed it before that list even started.

[timkoerber]

He is genuine and makes you wish he was your friend. What an immense soul!

[laalaastl]

The first thing he said was already a perfect five words: "I'm going to be hopeful."

[asifiqbal-Relentless]

Rather than saying, "I wish there were more people like him." We all should say, "I will try to be more like him."

[shaunig]

I love how he fully considers his answers, nothing but his true feelings will do ⭐️

[johndoe]

He gave the best 5 word answer and didn’t realize it “I’m going to be hopeful” 10/10 as always Keanu

[jakehobson]

The fact that this gigantic superstar actor is sitting here *actually* answering the questions genuinely tells you everything you need to know about him. Dudes a class act.

The sincerity. The stress. The earnestness. The awkwardness. My god I love him.

My brother and I met him at a airport. I believe it was JFK. He gave us his private number. Basically if we had any questions. He can help steer us in the right direction. We were looking into showbiz. My brother was in a bunch of shows as a extra. He did go somewhere. Even worked as a model. I decided to go in the military. What a great guy. Very down to earth. Very compassionate. This was probably around 1989/90.

A wonderful, warm, and quiet spirit. Met him at an airport in the early 2000’s.
He never rushes or acts too busy to stop and acknowledge those who acknowledge him.

[gingerhitzke]

The way he struggles shows how honest he is.

[mizziztee]

And, ladies and gents, this is why we all love Keanu. When he calls himself “Reeves!” 😂🤣

[sheilalarkin]

Keanu is adorable, a truly honorable man.

[lasmaknake]

His amazing! I still find Keanu one of the honest and kindest people out there. :)

[pamyuhnke]

I am always amazed by his down to earth, funny, honest, and kind being.

[amyrae]

Just when you think you couldn't love or respect this man more, you do.

[j.a.c]

I just adore him. He is quite, mysterious, compassionate for others and all around seems so awesome.

[sophies]
