Who Is Keanu Reeves? Keanu Reeves was born on September 2, 1964, in Beirut, Lebanon, and was raised in Toronto, Canada. He first gained attention for his performance in River's Edge, while the comedy Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and its sequel, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, brought him major recognition. Reeves has developed an eclectic film roster that includes the action flick Speed and the sci-fi blockbusters The Matrix and its sequels, as well as more art-house fare like My Own Private Idaho and The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. Reeves made his directorial debut in 2013 with Man of Tai Chi. Personal life Keanu Reeves was distinguishably shy as a kid and was quite closed-off even when he got older. Many girls were captivated by his candid gloominess and found special charm in it, but Keanu never let anyone close to his heart, although he had a number of flings and casual relationships. Keanu met Jennifer Syme, who was his sister’s friend, at a party in 1998. It was love at first sight and soon Keanu, who earlier claimed that he was afraid of a serious relationship and, especially, the prospect of having children, changed his mind. The baby girl was supposed to be born on 8 January 2000. The couple even chose a name – Ava Archer Syme-Reeves. But during a follow-up exam one week before she was due, the doctor found out that the baby’s heart stopped beating. And in 2001 the mother of the unborn child, 29-years old Jennifer Syme, died in a car accident. While on her way to a Marilyn Manson party, she lost control of her Jeep and sideswiped three parked cars. Many people believe that this story became the basis of David Lynch’s “Mulholland Drive”, as Jennifer was his assistant at that time. But that was just a beginning of a long string of personal tragedies for Keanu Reeves. In January of 2003 his beloved sister Kim had a leukemia relapse. She was diagnosed back in 1993, but up to that point the malady could be jugulated. Keanu almost stopped shooting and surrounded his sister with love and care. And few years later he participated in “Stand Up to Cancer” program where he confirmed that his sister managed to fight leukemia. Whether Keanu Reeves’ heart is vacant and open for a new relationship is still in question. Many believe that he gave up serious relationships after the death of his beloved. As for his everyday life, Keanu Reeves is a very modest man. Even though he has millions in his bank account, he continues to use public transport where he usually, being a gentleman he is, offers his seat to women. Keanu can often be seen with the homeless, buying them food and engaging in heart-to-heart conversations. The actor believes that there’s no need to go to the third world countries in order to help the less fortunate, and especially to make a scene out of it. “You can help those in need right here, on the streets of your hometown” – that is his position and it deserves a deal of respect. When he was younger, the actor indulged in extreme motorcycling, as a result numerous scars and healed injuries are presented on his body today. He also used to play in a punk band Dogstar, when he was younger. Top 10 Keanu Reeves movies 10. Constantine 9. A Scanner Darkly 8. The Devil's Advocate 7. Parenthood 6. My Own Private Idaho 5.
