Just curious, did he come off as a Hollywood clown or a regular Joe?
He was modest and awkward. The first time I was with a friend, who had no idea who he was and he asked him how he got started in show business. Keanu was very gracious and mentioned things he did in Canada. I was freaking out, this was in the early 80’s and he had not done any big action movies yet. The second time, I was having dinner at a Russian restaurant that was suppose to mimic communist times, there was like a cafeteria line and he was on his own, shaggy looking, rambling in on his bike.
The third time, I had a girlfriend who had a crush on him and I was good at sussing out where celebs would be in LA. He was playing in a club in Pasadena. He wore a knit cap and played the most atrocious bass. Afterwards, we went to talk to him in this hallway in the club. She brought him something she made. He was very sweet and listened to why she like him. He had just finished making My Private Idaho and she was gag gag over him after we saw it.
I have met Hollywood types that look over your head to see who else is staring at them, or ones that really enjoy the whole entourage thing. He was not like that. He does have rather full thighs for a guy though: )
