Enthusiastic about public welfare, and hiding his fame:
In 1991, Keanu's younger sister, who had not yet become popular, was diagnosed with leukemia. He spent 1 years trying to find a way to save money to cure her sister, and slept on the floor of a friend's house until he filmed Speed. After his sister recovered, Keanu privately set up a foundation to fund cancer research, but never publicized it.
"I don't like to add my name. I just want the foundation to do what it should do." Keanu said:
Give generously and treat others equally:
When filming The Matrix, the crew revealed that Keanu was the only actor they had ever seen who would carefully remember the names of each staff member, greet everyone and chat on an equal footing.
He even bought a Harley motorcycle as a Christmas present for every employee of the film's special effects team to thank them for their hard work. He also gave the family-strapped prop maker a Christmas fund of $2, to help his family spend a happy Christmas.
Don't play big cards:
After the filming of "God's Daughter", Keanu held a green party. When he entered, no one found him in the crowd, and he was not angry about it. He just stood in the crowd in the rain for more than 2 minutes, silently waiting in line, even though it was his own party.
that night, he also found and returned a guest's credit card.
grounding gas, super nice:
Keanu is a frequent visitor to the subway. Not only will he not wear sunglasses and masks, but he will also give his seat to passengers in need.
In March this year, he flew to Los Angeles, but the plane had a mechanical problem and landed temporarily in Bakersfield. After getting off the plane, Keanu left with a large group of economy class passengers in the minibus provided by the airport. The big star also played music and told stories to everyone all the time, so that the passengers who were forced to change their itinerary would not be so upset.
Take the initiative to reduce salary and subsidize other uses:
In addition to almost not using body double in movies to complete his own scenes, Keanu Reeves took the initiative to reduce salary in many movies, so that the crew could spend more money.
When he was filming Defender of the Devil, he lowered his salary by $2 million so that the cast could afford another starring Al Pacino.
When filming Matrix 2 and 3, he gave up about $34 million to $75 million, and asked the crew to use the money to subsidize makeup artists and special effects teams. Keanu thinks they are the most important people in this film.
crazy fan:
James Dator, a writer, worked in a Sydney cinema when he was young. At the age of 16, he was excited to see the big star Keanu and wanted to sign it, but he was embarrassed to disturb him. He didn't say it until Keanu bought the ticket. While he was frantically regretting, someone knocked on the door of his ticket booth. When he opened the door, it was Keanu Reeves himself, holding a signed ice cream receipt in his hand.
"I thought you might want my autograph"
