Keanu Reeves Vampires Among Us. Stories about the kindest and most selfless Hollywood actor - Keanu Reeves (8 photos)

Which surprised us and even touched us a little.

Keanu Reeves has become famous for his modesty and is deservedly considered almost the kindest person in Hollywood. We, of course, can judge solely by the stories that are circulating on the Internet, but we want to believe that they did not appear out of nowhere. We tell you everything we found out about Reeves, who is unfairly considered the most depressed person in the world because of the popular “sad Keanu” meme.

1. Keanu and the film set

The most famous story related to the filming happened back in the days of The Matrix. After the success of the first film, the actor decided to give up part of his future earnings, which, according to third-party estimates, amounted to approximately $80 million, in favor of the special effects and costume team. Reeves felt that they deserved more credit for their work on the film than anyone else. He didn’t forget about the stuntmen either - he bought absolutely everyone who worked on the sequels to “The Matrix” a motorcycle. Reeves himself loves bikes, so the Harleys were a real gift from the heart for the stunt team.

Reeves decided to give one of the workers involved in the construction of the scenery a Christmas bonus after learning that he was having problems. So the man received an unexpected gift - 20 thousand dollars, as his friend later told about it on Reddit. The rest of the time, the actor simply loved to buy lunch for everyone working on set and always tried to get to know everyone he worked with, making sure to remember their names. Money, in his own words, is not the main thing for him. The Matrix star believes he already has more than enough "for the next couple of centuries." Considering the jokes about Keanu being a vampire or at least immortal, he may have been being literal.

2. Keanu and the homeless man

The main case was documented for posterity by the paparazzi. The story is simple: in 1997, Keanu spent the morning with a homeless man in Hollywood. The actor was walking, saw a homeless man and decided to sit down with him and talk about life, and at the same time have breakfast and a drink together. The story went viral with captions like, “Keanu treats a homeless person as an equal.” The case is truly exceptional in its kindness. Before you become indignant, saying that it would be better if I bought him an apartment, think about it: few of us have ever really helped or even just communicated with the homeless without any disdain. This approach is the best illustration of the theory of small things: change begins not with grand gestures, but with a humane attitude towards each other.

3. Keanu and other stars

When it comes to work, two stories usually come up about how Keanu refused part of the fee in order to be able to invite more expensive and cool actors to work on the film. Let's not take into account that we are perhaps not talking about his most outstanding films; this approach shows a responsible and conscientious attitude to work. In The Understudies, Reeves agreed to a significant reduction in his fee - 90%, so that he could call on Oscar-winner Gene Hackman. A similar story happened when planning The Devil's Advocate. Reeves was ready to give up part of his earnings in the amount of several million, just to have the opportunity to invite Alya Pacino to the film, which is why he, without a doubt, won.

4. Keanu and sister

When his sister became ill with leukemia, he moved to live near her and also invested more than $5 million into research into the disease in hopes of a potential cure. Reeves donated money to the hospital where she was treated to promote research into the terrible disease. In moments of exacerbation, he postponed filming and devoted all his time to caring for his sister, the last loved one he had left. Reeves also founded his own cancer foundation.

5. Keanu and the subway

Contrary to the stupid title “Good guy or asshole?”, everything here is as simple as possible. Keanu saw a woman with a heavy bag and asked if she wanted to sit down. The girl agreed - so the actor gave her his seat. Separately, we note that Reeves does not hesitate to use public transport, and therefore well done, and the black guy sitting next to him clearly has nothing to do with it.

6. Keanu and crazy fans

Like any movie star, Reeves regularly encounters his group of not-so-healthy admirers. For example, stalkers broke into his house more than once. On one of these visits, he solved the problem without resorting to shouting or radical measures: he calmed down a desperate fan by simply talking to her, and only after that he called the police to report what had happened. Another woman, whom Keanu has never dated, said he pulled off an American Horror Story-esque stunt by dressing up as her husband to father four children with her. There was obviously no scandal. Instead of meaningless bickering, Reeves chose the simplest possible way out of the situation - he agreed to take a genetic test to check paternity. As expected, there was no surprise, and the legal proceedings initiated by the woman immediately came to naught, as did the demand for alimony of three million dollars.

7. Keanu and “Ode to Happiness”

Despite his misfortunes, Keanu loves yoga and tries to maintain a positive outlook on life. Together with artist Alexandra Grant, he released “Ode to Happiness” in 2011. "Ode" is a "picture book for adults" consisting of a poem by Reeves. The actor initially wrote it as a joke for friends, inspired by his friend Jamie, who loves the saddest music possible. Each page is dedicated to one line, above which is a simple ink illustration. The pictures deliberately look as if they were blurred by tears, but the end of the book is life-affirming - all these lines about the “shampoo of disappointments” and the “hot bath of sadness” are actually written with irony for those reveling in their own grief. “It can always be worse,” the actor reminds, for which we thank him very much.

Keanu and sister

Reeves, to put it mildly, has not had much luck throughout his life. Thirty-three misfortunes befell him. When the “sad Keanu” meme appeared, everyone remembered that the actor had more than just a difficult childhood: his best friend River Phoenix died of an overdose, and Reeves’ girlfriend died in a car accident shortly after they lost their child. It seems that the actor managed to get out of all this hell only thanks to his altruism: the more he lost, the more he gave.

Keanu and "Ode to Happiness"

Recently, a fashion has spread on the Internet to find doubles of celebrities in portraits and photographs of people who lived a hundred or more years ago...

One of the amazing finds is a fresco called “The Cardinal and the Virtues”, created by Raphael in 1511 in the Apostolic Palace of the Vatican and depicting, among others, Pope Gregory XI, who turned out to be incredibly similar to the Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone.

Another striking resemblance to the man depicted in the old photograph is another Hollywood actor - John Travolta.
The resemblance is so precise that it is puzzling:
either this is a skillful counterfeit of an antique, or a reincarnation.
By the way, the last explanation is quite in the spirit of Scientology, which occupies an important place in the life of the famous actor.

The history associated with photography is full of mysteries:
the fact is that the photograph, dating back to 1860, almost went under the hammer for a million dollars, but unexpectedly and without explanation was removed from auction.

The doppelgänger of another popular Hollywood actor, Nicolas Cage, made no less of a splash..

A similar story happened:
a collector put up for auction a photograph of a man resembling the actor for one million dollars, but this seemed not enough to him.

The photo was found among other photographs taken in the United States during the Civil War of 1861-1864. All of them were published in a certain book, but only one photograph lacked a signature - the name of the person depicted on it.
From this it was concluded that the actor is a vampire.

By the way, Cage did not ignore this statement and commented on it as follows:
he doesn’t drink blood, and the last time he approached a mirror, he saw his reflection in it.
The intrigue disappeared, and the photograph, as in the case of the photograph of Travolta's double, was withdrawn from auction.

Another actor whose lifespan and origin excites the minds of fans is Keanu Reeves..

Doubts were raised, as always, by the portrait resemblance of Reeves and several historical figures at once..

First of all, this is the French Charlemagne, who lived in the 9th century.
He was a very extraordinary person for his time.
In particular, he lived to be 72 years old, which by the standards of that cruel and unhygienic era was considered complete nonsense.
And even being at an age to which most of his peers did not live for a good quarter of a century, he retained clarity of mind, excellent health and vitality.
His court was full of chroniclers, but Charles did not bother to dictate to any of them even a couple of paragraphs about his origins and childhood..
The king chose his successor a year before his death, and when his hour of death struck, within a couple of hours he was buried with virtually no witnesses, a solemn ceremony and identification marks on the grave.
Agree, continuous secrets and riddles.

But there was another person who had an undeniable resemblance to Keanu Reeves - Paul Mounet.

French actor Paul Mounet, who died in 1922, like Charlemagne, was healthy and full of strength at 74 years old, but shortly before his death he severed all ties with the outside world, including the stage, and lived as a hermit in his country house.

Those who like to build mystical theories about the transmigration of souls claim that the acting style of Moonet and Reeves is incredibly similar, especially considering that they are practically the same person.
They confirm their assumptions with photographs of Keanu taken in 1994:
Since then, the Hollywood handsome man has remained virtually unchanged.
Who knows what he will be like in old age, at the beginning of his eighties?..

In an exciting search for celebrity doubles, bloggers “discovered” on the Internet a whole round dance of “twins” through time:
for example, Brad Pitt and Isaac Stevens, Civil War Federation General, Governor of Washington, felled by enemy weapons.

Johnny Depp resembles Thomas Tallis, the 16th-century English composer who composed masses for monasteries, abbeys and cathedrals.
It is curious that there are no portraits of Tallis during his lifetime.:
all those that have survived were written at least half a century after his death.

Facebook developer and founder Mark Zuckerberg reminded bdoggers of Philip IV, King of Portugal, from the Habsburg dynasty.

The presence of doubles, according to one theory, is explained by the fact that in nature there is not such a wide variety of eyes, noses, lips, cheeks and ears, so their combinations can sometimes be repeated, invariably arousing the interest of ordinary people and instantly giving rise to legends and rumors.

Fans of American actor Keanu Reeves seriously believe that he is immortal

Reeves' fans have launched numerous strange campaigns on the Internet, such as June 15, 2010, being declared a "Cheer Up, Keanu" day, and recently he has become the subject of further speculation - blogs and Twitter have speculated that he is actually a vampire. Such insinuations appeared due to the fact that the actor has not changed for years. Some have even proposed a Matrix theory: "We all live in a matrix created by Keanu." One of the supporters of the theory that Reeves is a vampire posted a video in which he claims that Keanu is the French actor Paul Monet, who was born in 1847.

Keanu rarely appears on the red carpet, but recently he attended the Berlin Film Festival

"It only makes sense that Keanu Reeves is either a vampire or immortal." At 47, he has no noticeable wrinkles or other signs of aging. Keanu demonstrated this once again by appearing on the red carpet at the Berlin Film Festival. The actor did not star in the new film; he became the producer of the documentary film “Side by Side”. Reeves came to the premiere in a black three-piece suit, a light shirt and old, beat-up sneakers, which clearly stood out from the overall almost elegant image.
