When it comes to Keanu Reeves, fans should forget his classic roles in the movies "The Matrix" and "Rush", handsome and cold.
After years of development, the 57-year-old actor is now one of Hollywood's most popular superstars, not only thanks to his brilliant performances on the silver screen, but also to his true love for fans and humble attitude.
Keanu Reeves's success is enviable, but behind this brilliant color, there is a lonely coldness.
Sad man
For most celebrities, audiences are talked about either noisy love, flashy awards or huge fortunes, but for Keanu Reeves, his stories are often about his tragic life.
Keanu Reeves was abandoned by his father at the age of 3 and spent his childhood living around with his mother. The broken family led to Keanu Reeves' dyslexia and his shy personality. At the age of 13, his biological father was imprisoned for drug trafficking, and his own sister was also facing terrible leukemia.
Keanu Reeves, though with a beautiful and friendly smile, rarely smiled. If you know what Keanu went through, then you have to admit that such a miserable life is really hard to squeeze out a smile. When one loved one after another left him, fate gradually pushed him into a lonely life.
The first is the talented young actor Revan Phoenix, who was also a close friend of Keanu Reeves, who died of drug abuse at the age of 23. For a long time, Keanu Reeves was in a lot of pain.
In 1998, Keanu Reeves met Jennifer Sem. The two truly loved each other, and everyone thought that Keanu Reeves's lonely heart could be comforted, but fate still did not let him go.
After a year together, Jennifer became pregnant with their first daughter, Keanuri Weiss and Jennifer, who are also happy to be the happiest parents in the world. However, tragedy struck Keanu's life again, and on a cold Christmas Eve in 1999, the unborn baby left Keanu and Jennifer at the 8th month of pregnancy.
The loss of his first child not only completely broke Keanu Reeves and his girlfriend, but also put his relationship with his girlfriend in a difficult situation. Eventually grief and stress led Keanu Reeves and girlfriend Jennifer Sam to "part ways," but after the breakup they maintained a close friendship, occasionally going to dinner together and giving each other the same care as their families.
However, 18 months later, the news of Jennifer's sudden death in a car accident almost left Keanu Reeves fainting.
At Jennifer Saim's funeral, people felt sad about the short-lived actress, as well as for the haggard man walking next to her coffin.
And Keanu Reeves, swallowing tears, buried his girlfriend next to their children in Los Angeles. Since then, the grieving man has temporarily distanced himself from the relationship between men and women.
Kind men
After a series of tragedies, Keanu Reeves is often seen wandering around New York, looking homeless, haggard, and exhausted. But in the end, instead of basking in grief and despair, instead of turning to alcohol for help or blaming the world, Keanu Reeves chose to overcome the pain with his extraordinary energy. He works hard and works hard to new goals, just as he copes with dyslexia.
After the success of "The Matrix", after 10 years of struggle, it regained its aura through two works, "Tai Chi Man" and "Forty-Seven Ronin". Thanks to both works, Keanu Reeves has shed some of his unwanted images after his previous defeats.
Career success also brought Keanu Reeves a lot of income, but Keanu Reeves is a man who doesn't care about money. He's probably the only Hollywood star with no mansion, no luxury cars, and no fashionable clothes, though he makes a lot of money.
Keanu Reeves is often seen wearing popular and even somewhat messy clothing. If you're not a fan, not many people may recognize him as Hollywood's most famous star.
Where did Keanu Reeves spend the money? Of course it was someone he felt needed help.
He also once allocated $80 million of the $114 million total salary he received from His Matrix to post-production staff to thank them for their hard work.
And since her sister was diagnosed with leukemia, Keanu Reeves has been her guardian. During his struggle with his sister's terrible illness, he secretly donated to cancer patients, research centers and charities at hospitals. Some of the funds supported by Keanu Reeves include the Cancer Fund and the Sick Child Fund.
Keanu Reeves is also a man without the concept of rich or poor. With a net worth of hundreds of millions, he still chooses the subway as a means of transportation. Seeing the homeless people on the street, the actor will not hesitate to shake hands with them, ask questions, chat, just like old friends.
It is precisely because of this humane way of life in adversity that he has earned him the title of "the kindest man on earth".
In 2019, Keanu Reeves went public on a date with Alexandra Grant, his first public relationship in years. This kind man, after more than ten years of loneliness, finally met the woman who saved his life.
As a Hollywood A-list actor, Keanu Reeves's image is more special than any other actor, not flashy, not glamorous, always appearing in a strange image of simple kindness.
Although his life was surrounded by pain and loss, Keanu Reeves did not surrender to fate, but overcame all this with a strong will and became an inspirational symbol for many. That's why, to this day, many viewers still fascinate, ador, and love him!
