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 battled leukemia.
And with everything that has happened, Keanu Reeves never misses an opportunity to help needy people. When he was filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard a conversation between two costume assistants; One cried because he would lose his house if he did not pay $20,000 & 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 & 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.
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.
It is interesting that those who are most broken inside are the ones most willing to help 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 ♥ ️
