Getting it right:
Keanu Reeves’s most impactful display of generosity occurred behind the scenes of the “Matrix” sequels. While negotiating his back-end deal, Reeves insisted upon recognizing the films’ special effects and costume design teams, the “true heroes” of the movies. The “Matrix” franchise grossed over US$1.2 billion at the worldwide box office; Reeves’s share was an estimated US$75 million, and reportedly, he gave most of it away.
Each member of the special effects and costume design teams received over US$1 million each. And as if that wasn’t enough, Reeves also gifted a Harley Davidson to every member of the stunt team.
Bravo Keanu!
