Keanu Reeves was abandoned by his father at 3 years old and grew up with 3 different stepfathers. He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident. His best friend, River Phoenix, died of an overdose. His sister has leukemia.
And with everything that has happened, Keanu Reeves never misses an opportunity to help people in need. When he was filming the movie “The Lake House,” he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants; One cried because he would lose his house if he did not pay $20,000 and on the same day Keanu deposited the necessary amount in the woman’s bank account; He also donated stratospheric sums to hospitals.
In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu walked into a bakery and bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.
After winning astronomical sums for the Matrix trilogy, the actor donated more than $50 million to the staff who handled the costumes and special effects - the true heroes of the trilogy, as he called them.
He also gave a Harley-Davidson to each of the stunt doubles. A total expense of several million dollars. And for many successful films, he has even given up 90% of his salary to allow the production to hire other stars.
In 1997 some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours.
Most stars when they make a charitable gesture they declare it to all the media. He has never claimed to be doing charity, he simply does it as a matter of moral principles and not to look better in the eyes of others.
This man could buy everything, and instead every day he gets up and chooses one thing that cannot be bought: To be a good person.
Keanu Reeves’ father is of Native Hawaiian descent. <3
3 step fathers, nahuku watu ni kukashifu single mother kwa ukali na wengine kuingia mitini.
You forcing the $20,000 person to be a trannie?
Junguu respect family unlike our chimpanzees who do not even take care of their own kids. We ukiingia mitini or you leave a woman to raise your children by herself, what does that say about how you feel about yourself? That child is 50% your DNA. It’s no different than throwing yourself away. Abandoning yourself. Self hate. Some even kill those kids but aren’t you killing yourself? Your DNA. At times black men are less intelligent than even animals. You are abandoning someone who has 50% of your DNA. Just imagine today I conceive a child and remove it, I’m killing someone who is 50% me. No different than suicide. Anyway some things it’s only God who understands bcz I don’t understand how men think.
