Keanu Reeves is renowned not only for his acting talent but also for his kindness and charitable efforts. He consistently treats people with respect and remains down-to-earth despite his fame as one of Hollywood’s most handsome actors. While he often keeps his private life private, there was a rare occasion about nine years ago when the star appeared on Reddit and engaged with his fans by answering their questions.
One Reddit user, bradg0620, asked Keanu Reeves, “What’s something interesting that most people don’t know about you?” In response, the “Matrix” star shared an intriguing story about street hockey. He mentioned that when he first moved to Los Angeles at the age of 20, it was a whole new world for him. He encountered some guys at a gas station who had street hockey gear in their cars. Curious, Reeves asked them what they were doing, and they replied that they were playing street hockey. He asked if he could join, and they agreed.
Reeves elaborated, “I played street hockey for over 10 years, every weekend, red vs. black. We would take holidays off and sometimes the summer, but we played for over 10 years. It was great being a part of that. It was a fantastic thing to be a part of. Getting together, hanging out, being friends.”
Other fans also posed questions to the star, including u/HansBlixJr, who asked if it would bother him if a fan greeted him on the street and stopped to chat. Reeves responded with a surprisingly humble answer, saying, “It’s nice to be able to say hello to people. You know, it really depends on the moment. Sometimes you have time to hang out, and sometimes you don’t. But yeah, it’s nice to say hello.”
Another Reddit user, u/slayvelabor, inquired whether he takes the time to look at the stars. Reeves replied, “I believe we had a lunar eclipse the other night! That was great. In cities, I wish you could see more stars, but I always love when I’m in places where you can.” He went on to express his fondness for the night sky and its shimmering beauty.
When u/Foulds28 asked Reeves about his favorite places to go or visit in Toronto, the actor mentioned a delicious hamburger joint called Licks and his love for hanging out at the high school he attended. He reminisced about playing street hockey and basketball there and enjoying the city’s fantastic parks like Ramsden Park. Reeves even mentioned his favorite theaters, such as Bloor Street Cinema and the University Theater.
Keanu Reeves continues to be an extraordinary individual who genuinely strives to connect with his admirers. This invisible thread of connection is a testament to his character and the lasting impact he has on those who look up to him.
