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: )
“He was modest and awkward.”
Very nice to know.
I have always liked Keanu and I’m not sure why.
I usually prefer actors that can change a scene by arching an eyebrow or using some small gesture.
Keanu is a bit limited in that respect but comes across very well regardless.
He just comes across as genuine.
Believe it or not my favorite Reeves movie is a fantasy/love story called “The Lake House” with Sandra Bullock.
It’s actually pretty sappy but the Reeves/Bullock tandem pulls it off nicely.
“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: )”
Nice to know his fame hasn’t gone to his head.
Either he was raised good or has seen how fleeting fame can be and is determined not to let the glitz and glitter change him.
About the thighs.
Keanu has been riding motorcycles most of his life so that may have something to do with it.
There have always been unconfirmed rumors about his sexuality that he ignores. Perhaps being a “catcher” has something to do with those thighs?
I have no idea myself.
As long as he keeps his personal life personal he can do anything legal he wants. I’ll still be a fan.
Maybe a bit disappointed, but still a fan.
