Very worth reading❤️
Actor, film director, film producer and musician Keanu Charles Reeves (Keanu Charles Reeves),
Missed the first 20 minutes of the party dedicated to the end of filming of his new movie at one of the clubs in New York.
He waited patiently in the rain to be let in.
No one recognized him.

The club owner said: “I didn't even know Keanu was standing in the rain waiting to get in - he didn't say anything to anyone.”
"He travels by public transport."
"He easily communicates with homeless people on the streets and helps them."
- He was only 60 years old (September 2, 1964)
- He can only eat hot dogs in the park, sitting among normal people.
- After filming one of the "Matrix", he gave all the stuntmen a new motorcycle - in recognition of their skills.
- He gave up most of the salaries of the costume designers and computer scientists who drew the special effects on "The Matrix" - deciding that their share of the film's budget was assessed short.
- He reduced his salary for the movie "The Devil's Advocate" to have enough money to invite Al Pacino.
- Almost at the same time his best friend passed away; His girlfriend lost a child and soon died in a car accident, and his sister suffered from leukemia.
Keanu didn't fail: he donated $5 million to the clinic that treated his sister, refused to be filmed (to be with her), and founded the Leukemia Foundation, donating significant amounts from each fee for the movie.
You may have been born a man, but stay a man..

I'm not as white as I look 🧡

Actor, film director, film producer and musician Keanu Charles Reeves (Keanu Charles Reeves)

Keanu Reeves, a man whose life story is as inspiring as it is heart-wrenching, has faced unimaginable challenges. Abandoned by his father at the tender age of 3, Keanu grew up with three different stepfathers. Despite his dyslexia, he dreamed of becoming a hockey player until a serious accident shattered that dream. The tragedies didn’t stop there: his daughter died at birth, his wife later in a car accident, his best friend River Phoenix from an overdose, and his sister continues to battle leukemia.

Yet, amid these personal trials, Keanu remains a beacon of kindness. While filming "The Lake House," he overheard a costume assistant's fears of losing her home and immediately deposited $20,000 into her bank account. He has quietly donated immense sums to hospitals and, on his birthday in 2010, bought a brioche with a single candle, eating it in front of a bakery while offering coffee to passersby.

His generosity extends beyond his earnings from the Matrix trilogy, where he donated over $50 million to the costume and special effects teams and gifted Harley-Davidsons to his stunt doubles. Often sacrificing up to 90% of his salary to help productions hire other stars, Keanu's humility shines through. In 1997, paparazzi captured him spending a morning listening to and sharing stories with a homeless man in Los Angeles.

Keanu Reeves acts out of genuine moral principles, not for media acclaim. Daily, he chooses to be a good person, a choice that speaks louder than any amount of wealth could.

Keanu's heritage is also a point of pride, with his father being of Native Hawaiian descent. This connection adds another layer to his already incredible story.

Inspired by Keanu's spirit and heritage, we invite you to explore our exclusive Native American-themed apparel, starting with the iconic Native American Bracelet. Click the link below to discover more about our products and Keanu’s journey. Embrace the spirit of resilience and kindness with us!
