Some time ago, science fiction fans like turtles ushered in a major good news, the fourth part of the "Matrix" series "The Matrix: Matrix Restart" is finally finalized! It will be released in the mainland on January 14, while in North America it will be released in theaters + streaming on December 22. Recently, it has also been a continuous tidbit preview, which continues to create heat.
"The Matrix 4" is continued by Lana Wachowski of the Wachowski sisters of the old trilogy, and the male protagonist Keanu Reeves is also reborn. Nearly 20 years have passed since the release of "The Matrix 3", and the male god Neo has finally returned to the big screen!
Time really flew by, and Keanu Reeves went from being a cold male god to the uncle of Ben Six now, but he was still the coolest man in Hollywood, even though the years had left marks on his face.
In life, we often give people a good guy card out of social etiquette, and even if he has a lot of slots, we will still say that he/she is not bad. In Vanity Fair Hollywood, Keanu may be the one who has been issued the most good guy cards, but by no means out of courtesy or official praise, he is really too good.
The 2019 New Yorker also wrote an article for Keanu titled "Keanu Reeves is too good for this world." The evaluation in the article is also quite high, "He has a taste of 'fallen man', and all his performances can reflect an alternative temperament." ”
Keanu was born in Lebanon on September 2, 1964, with British, American, Irish, Chinese, Portuguese, irish ancestry. With the blessing of mixed blood genes, Keanu was really handsome when he was young.
His father, a native of Hawaii, abandoned their mother and son at the age of 3. So Keanu also began to move around with his mother, first to Australia and then to New York. In New York, her mother, Patricia, met her second husband, Paul Aaron, a director on Broadway and Hollywood, before moving to Canada.
The stepfather got Keanu to become interested in acting, and although he and Patricia soon divorced, they had a good relationship with Keanu and helped keanu after he went to Hollywood.
Keanu and Mom
After divorcing her second husband, Patricia and Robert Miller, a rock and roll promoter, had a 4-year marriage, so Keanu grew up with rock and roll.
Her mother, Patricia, is a stage costume designer, not a stripper on the Internet. Since childhood, Keanu's family is also very good, learning a lot of ice hockey, his sister also practices horsemanship, and the family has raised Tibetan mastiffs, so his childhood is by no means as tragic as the Internet rumors, but the father's love and stable life are indeed a part that has been missing.
At the age of 16, Keanu Reeves officially entered the entertainment industry with the help of his stepfather with an advertisement for Coca-Cola.
In 1989, Keanu became an idol of teenagers with "The Adventures of Bill and Ted". The film was almost a household name, repeated on television, with the lines of Ted, played by Keanu, becoming a teenage mantra, and some clips were later made into memes.
In 1994, Keanu's "Life and Death Speed", which made Keanu popular all over the world, was released, which directly opened the two trends of "transportation action movies" and "handsome little life action movies". Keanu in this film is handsome, tall, and awe-inspiring, and everyone who looks at that face is confused. In the movie, the male protagonist is an inch, and many young people imitate Keanu to cut the inch.
And his CP with the heroine Sandra Bullock also made many people stumble for many years. But then Keanu unexpectedly refused the tens of millions of dollars in "Life and Death Speed 2" and ran to Canada to act in the small theater stage play "Hamlet". The male gods are really mavericks.
In the next few years, Keanu did not have too explosive films. Until 1999, "The Matrix" was released, shocking the world, Keanu's god-level pictures with sunglasses and trench coats are believed to be frozen in everyone's heart forever. This style of dressing has also become a trend, and everyone is competing to imitate it.
The sci-fi masterpiece of the Matrix trilogy made Keanu a global superstar. In those years, there were few who could not find a few hotter than him, and Keanu was the absolute top, the coolest man in Hollywood.
And throughout the 90s, Keanu's appearance is very online, there is no current untrimmed edge, it is simply a male version of Marilyn Monroe, a glance can charm you. Although Keanu said that he was not handsome or sexy, this face would completely unify the global aesthetic, both men and women, after watching "The Matrix", must be handsome.
Keanu, who has reached the peak of his career, has been constantly hit by blows in his life. During the filming of the 1991 film My Private Idaho (also translated as "The Unruly Sky"), Keanu became close friends with another male protagonist, River Phoenix. That's right, this Ravan is the brother of Oscar-winning "Joker" Joaquin Phoenix.
In this film, Ruifan tries drugs in order to get close to the characters, but once the drugs are addicted, it is too difficult to get rid of. In the early morning of October 31, 1993, Rivan died of a drug overdose at the age of 23. Hollywood's brightest genius has fallen.
Rivan is one of Keanu's most important friends, and his death has also brought Keanu a lot of grief. At an event to promote "The Speed of Life and Death", the reporter asked him what he thought of Ruifan's death. He replied, "What else can I say, I miss him so much..." He avoided the camera and looked at the floor, choking for a long time.
In 1998, Keanu met Jennifer Seim, director David Lynch's female assistant. In 1999, the girlfriend became pregnant with a girl, but she was stillborn at 8 months. This was a major blow to both of them, and the two sides broke up as a result, but still maintained the status of good friends.
Two years later, bad news came that Jennifer had died in a car accident. The day before the accident, Keanu had a party with Jennifer. As a result, every other day, the heavens and men are forever separated. At the funeral, Keanu personally carried the coffin for Jennifer, who was referred to by her family as "the love of her life" in Jennifer's obituary. ”
For more than a decade after that, Keanu never had a public relationship again, and there were few scandals. The departure of best friends, unborn daughters, ex-girlfriends, it hurts too much, but it's not over.
In 2003, Keanu's sister Kim developed leukemia. Keanu, who is in the ascendancy of his career, did not hesitate to choose to suspend his acting career, focus on taking care of his sister, find the best medical resources for Kim, and personally accompany the bed to take care of it. Keanu's friend said, "When Kim was in the hospital, he was always by her side, sitting on the edge of her bed and holding her hand. ”
Fortunately, in the end, his sister defeated leukemia, and Keanu finally kept the person he loved.
From 1993 to 2003, in just 10 years, close friends died, daughters died, lovers left, and relatives became seriously ill. What kind of tempering this life has given Keanu. He himself once said, "Grief changes form, but never leaves." ”
Keanu, who has experienced these human sufferings, did not complain about the injustice of fate, but has always maintained a warm and kind heart and lived more thoroughly.
In 1997, in the feature film "Devil's Spokesperson" with Al Pacino and Charlize Theron, Keanu reduced his salary because the crew could not afford Al Pacino at the beginning, so that the crew had the money to invite Pacino to create a better movie.
In "The Matrix," which made him a hit, Keanu bought a Harley motorcycle worth £6,000 for his 12 stuntmen. They were not humble stand-ins that no one knew, but people Keanu regarded as brothers.
He also took out £50 million from the income received from the Matrix trilogy to give the crew special effects, makeup and other parts as a cost of film production, because without them there would be no Matrix.
Because his sister has leukemia, Keanu donated a lot of money to the institution that treats leukemia, it is said that 70% of the income from the filming of "The Matrix" was donated, and there was a special foundation for charity to donate medical research, but Keanu's name never appeared, "I just let the charitable foundation do what it should do." ”
Keanu hardly cared about the money, accepting Hello in 2003! In an interview with Magazine, he said that "money is the last thing I care about, and my current wealth has been enough for me to live for centuries." In another interview 3 years later, he directly said that money does not mean anything to him, "I donated a lot of money and lived a simple life... We all know that health is more important than money. ”
Up to now, Keanu has been red for 30 years, but he has never had a big star shelf, and there are too many stories about his warm and grounded children.
One movie fan once said, "In 2001, I was working in a cinema in Sydney when I met Keanu Reeves to buy tickets. He was supposed to be working on The Matrix. I was 16 at the time and I told him I could give him a discount for employees but needed his signature, and I thought I could get his signature. He refused, saying he didn't work here. So I panicked and gave him a ticket at the normal fare, secretly chafing at not getting the signature.
Two minutes later he came back and handed me a receipt with his signature on the back, saying, 'I just realized you might want my signature, so I signed it here'. He threw the ice cream cone in his hand in the trash and went to the movie. I realized later that he probably didn't want to eat ice cream at all, he just wanted to find a piece of paper and give the autograph to the 16-year-old idiot teenager. ”
In 2003, Keanu was photographed throwing coins at a homeless woman on the streets of Paris. He walked over to the woman and, instead of throwing it down directly, bent his waist extremely low and gently put the money into the plastic cup.
Another time, when she encountered a helpless lady whose car broke down on the side of the road waiting for rescue, Keanu took the initiative to stop and call for a trailer, and then sent her home...
As a rich man and an absolute superstar, Keanu also likes to take the subway, often holding a newspaper, sitting in a crowded train, just an ordinary person.
In 2011, the 47-year-old gave way to the lady next to him on the New York subway, and was just photographed by the paparazzi, and the video has been played by tens of millions of youtubes.
In addition to these, Keanu will also chat with homeless people, sitting directly on the ground and talking.
On my birthday, I sat on the side of the road with a small cake, and someone came to chat with me, and I talked about it.
Usually, Keanu will appear alone, so many people will say that he is lonely. In 2010, he was photographed eating sandwiches on a park bench, and the netizens looked very depressed and created the "poor Keanu" meme.
After that, there were all kinds of similar, endless edges, beards, and even fortune photos were taken.
In addition to the years around 2010, keanu's work quality is also very average. Do everyone think that the male god has fallen like this? Of course not.
The release of the action film "John Wick" trilogy "Fast Pursuit", "Fast Attack" and "Rush Ready" has made Keanu successfully rejuvenate and become popular all over the world.
In 2019, he appeared like a god at the E3 exhibition, standing on the platform for the game Cyberpunk 2077, cheering as soon as he appeared, and a fan shouted, "You are breathtaking." "His handsomeness takes everyone's breath away.
After the death of his ex-girlfriend Jennifer, Keanu basically did not talk about love seriously, until 2019, when his long-time friend Alexandra Grant was upgraded to a lover, Keanu can be regarded as ending the lonely life of a single dog.
Alexandra has silver hair, is 185 tall, and looks average. At the beginning, many people said why keanu didn't find a beautiful woman, but there are so many beautiful women in Hollywood, the beautiful skin bag is the same, and the interesting soul is one of them.
The two met in 2009, alexandra, who is 9 years younger than Keanu, grew up with his mother, a political science professor, and is fluent in English, French and Spanish. He earned a bachelor's degree in history and video art from vosmore, a top college, and then a master's degree in fine arts at the Los Angeles College of Arts and Crafts.
Now a talented artist, he has his own art studio, dabbling in painting design, installation art, etc., and also regularly holds exhibitions of works of art.
The two also collaborated on the book Ode to Happiness in 2011, written by Keanu and illustrated by Alexandra. The shared hobbies and compatible personalities also allowed the two to maintain a good friendship, and in 2016 they also collaborated on a book called "Shadows".
Not only is alexandra talented, but alexandra is also a woman passionate about philanthropy, and in 2008 she founded a charity called GrantLOVE to help unknown artists raise money and sell their works for creation.
In addition, according to media reports, Alexandra makes people feel warm and considerate. So communicative, she has been listening and supporting Keanu.
After being friends for a long time, the two people who are very compatible in their souls have also become lovers, attending events together and holding hands in the street, Keanu found his own one.
In 2019, after promoting "Ready for War" on the show, the host asked him a very pittive question: "What do you think will happen to the world after we die?" ”
Keanu gave that touching answer: "I know that after death, those who love us will miss us." This sentence quickly swept the network. Some even lamented that we didn't deserve Keanu.
That summer, the media loved him to the extreme, and GQ described him as "Immortal"; CNN described him as a "Nation-wide Treasure"; Entertainment Weekly wrote "This is a World of Keanu Reeves, We Just Live in It", and the New Yorker article we mentioned at the beginning, "This World Is Not Worthy of Keanu Reeves.".
And all of this was earned for him by Keanu's kindness and warmth. He said: "I don't want to live in a world where the goodness of human nature is weakness."
The word "Keanu" means "breeze blowing through the top of the mountain" in native Hawaiian. I am reminded of Lu You's "the stream rises and the breeze blows, and the moon sets and the sky is full of stars." "Keanu is both a delightful breeze and a star in the night sky.
