Actor Keanu Reeves, 59, is known to be one of Hollywood’s nicest guys. On top of being a movie star, in recent years he’s also developed a reputation as “the internet’s boyfriend” due to how much netizens love him.
There are many reasons that fans love Reeves — from the fact that he’s a bonafide action star whose filmography includes “The Matrix” and “John Wick” franchises, among other notable movies, to becoming the star of many popular memes.
Reeves is simply one of Hollywood’s most beloved actors and an icon of the internet.
But there are plenty of other examples out there that show just why Reeves is considered such a stand-up guy.
There’s the time that he gave up his seat on the subway for a stranger as well as the various moments he’s shared with homeless people on the streets, listening to their stories.
Or there are the many donations he’s given to charities or shared his wealth with the film crews that helped make his movies.
Just last month he proved once again exactly why he’s earned this reputation and why everybody loves him so much when he surprised his stunt team from the latest “John Wick” movie with a brand new Rolex watch each.
But while Reeves is known for being one of Hollywood’s most beloved, friendly, and down-to-earth actors, he also has a dark past that is full of heartbreak. For years, it appeared the actor was single and open to love.
Then, finally, after going public with his relationship with American visual artist Alexandra Grant, 50, in Nov. 2019, the world became immediately interested in the woman who stole Reeves’ heart.
Since then, they’ve been more open about their relationship and Grant even gave an in-depth interview with Vogue magazine.

Born to a mother of British descent and a father of British, Chinese, Portuguese and Native Hawaiian descent, Reeves has his mixed heritage to thank for his good genes.
The actor is known for looking pretty much as hunky as he did when he first entered the big screens in the ’80s, and many people have pointed that out right now, especially with his much shorter hair these days.
But on top of his never-changing good looks, another aspect of Reeves’ appearance that has remained the same ever since he landed in Hollywood is his clothing.
Rather than spending thousands of dollars on designer duds, Reeves has become known for keeping a rather utilitarian uniform that usually consists of blue jeans, a simple jacket and large beat-up boots.
It might seem like an insignificant detail but Reeves’ outfit choices could be seen as a physical manifestation of how he sees himself — just like every other normal person.
He doesn’t need flashy clothes, cars or even luxury mansions, because he knows material possessions aren’t the key to a happy life.
Perhaps that reveals why he has become so well known for his generosity to others. A generous gift-giver, Reeves has a history of gifting the people he works on films with.
As mentioned earlier, after filming wrapped on “John Wick: Chapter 4” in Paris last month, the actor gifted the four members of his stunt team — Bruce Concepcion, Jeremy Marinas, Dave Camarillo and Li Qiang — a Rolex 2020 Submariner watch each, with a personalized message engraved on the back.
He also got one for himself that matched the others, making the item more than just a gift but a shared relic from their time spent together on the film set.
