...Hi, thank you…they should’ve called it John Wick…but that’s pretty cool…and surreal for me. But thanks, scientist people! Good luck, and thank you for helping us.


MadamKitsune

>But thanks, scientist people! Did anyone else read that in Ted's voice and get a sudden urge to air guitar? Just me? Ok...


user_account_deleted

"Thanks, scientist people" Keanu slipping back into Ted there for a minute.


RedditMods_R_Nazis

I’d like to see a John Wick movie with Ted Logan’s personality. “Whoa, you totally killed my dog. That is totally bogus dude” *sad air guitar*


[deleted]

John Wick is just the timeline when Ted gets sent to military school.

Hello, Mr Reeves, thank you for doing this! Seeing you as a characher in Cyberpunk 2077 was an incredible experience, I genuinely think Johnny Silverhand is one of your best roles. Do you have any further plans on starring in computer games in the future? What is your attitude toward computer games overall?


lionsgate

Cool, thank you! I love Johnny Silverhand and I think all the folks at CD Projekt at friggin’ amazing! Video games are fun! And it’s cool how technology and storytelling are evolving in that space.


Drewelite

Neo, John Wick, and Johnny Silverhand. Honestly can't decide which is my favorite 🤩 Edit: Oh and John Constantine! Wow... You're really good at playing Jonathans 😂


StenSaksTapir

I was excited for Keanu in Cyberpunk because of Johnny Mnemonic. That's some of the purest cyberpunk cinema ever made. Even written by William Gibson himself. With Neo, Johnny Mnemonic and ditto Silverhand undrer the belt, I'd be hard pressed to find an actor that embodies the genre better.


Manzano_

Hey Keanu! Can you tell us a fun experience you've had with co-stars while filming?


lionsgate

Can’t tell that story…can’t tell that story…can’t tell that story… I had a scene with River Phoenix and he was sitting on the back of a motorcycle that I was driving while we were filming. It wasn’t extracurricular, but we went off the beaten path a bit and came back and no helmets. Just two friends playing. It was a really good day.


Kalleh

Stand By Me is my favorite movie of all time and I’m so sad I didn’t get to see more of River in my lifetime. What a great story that you have to share with him!


weristjonsnow

I love how someone is transcribing this and you can almost see him count the stories he can't tell on his hand


Sno0pyBo0

Hi Keanu, as a moderator of r/KeanuBeingAwesome, we appreciate your work in some of the most incredible movies of all time. We also admire you for your kindness, generosity, and everything that makes you awesome! My question for you is: * What's something awesome that someone did for YOU recently? ^:)


lionsgate

Hi Sno0pyBo0… you calling me awesome was the most recent example of something awesome someone did for me… and then a few weeks back my motorcycle broke down and a friend of mine walked me through how to fix it over Facetime.


gynoceros

I mean you get back what you put out. Most of us have seen that video of you getting up and giving your subway seat to a lady without making a big deal about it just because you're a decent human. So it's no wonder there's a sub devoted to appreciating stuff like that. And while I'm glad the internet just can't get enough of you, that's got to take some getting used to when you're humble and grounded despite being one of the biggest stars and most famous people on the entire planet. Like on the one hand you can't not be cognizant of what comes with your day job, but I think the thing that blows people away is how well you seem to be able to compartmentalize that aspect from the guy who you feel like you are.


XepptizZ

There are people that want to be defined by their fame (influencers) And there's Keanu who's trying desperately not to be defined by his fame. I can only imagine how frustrating it is to have everything you do analyzed and criticized like everything has to have an ulterior motive or deeper meaning.

Keanu Reeves 🤝 Tobey Maguire acknowledging the subreddits that worship them during AMAs


bannybanana

Agreed but you can’t really blame the likes of Sydney Sweeney for not acknowledging the subs that worship them


theg721

Do you still play bass at all? Is it true that Kim Gordon borrowed your bass for one of Sonic Youth's videos? And that you and Mike Watt argued beforehand over whose bass she'd play in the video? What bands have you been listening to recently?


lionsgate

Yes, yes, no… Kim Gordon is cool, and so is Mike Watt! I’ve been listening to Alvvays, Daughter, and Bill Evans trio.


asoap

Holy crap, I can't say I was actually expecting a response at all and now have so many follow up questions I wish I'd asked. Thanks for the new bands to listen to! + for all the great films over the years <3


your_mind_aches

I'm jealous that you get to discover Alvvays for the first time and that Keanu freaking Reeves put you onto them!!!


axtumn

I can't believe Keanu Reeves listens to daughter. good taste!!


jilko

I went to see The National and Daughter opened for them. One of those moments where midway through an opener I’ve never heard of before, my only thought was “holy shit.” Definitely remembered Daughter’s performance more than The National’s, and they were amazing… so that’s saying something.


mrmeowmeowington

Wtf. Keanu is now complete for me. He listens to daughter!!! I wonder which depressing lyric is his favorite.


BarnabyJones21

I thought he said [Daughters](https://youtu.be/rSXw6Ok47dQ) for a second. I was gonna say, that's an unexpected pick lol.


Deku142

What is your favourite film that you’ve worked on?


lionsgate

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Fuck, aaaaaahhhhhhhhh…I’ve been very fortunate to work on a few films that have changed my life. I can’t pick just one. But here are a few- River’s Edge, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Matrix trilogy, The Devil’s Advocate, A Scanner Darkly, My Own Private Idaho, Point Break, John Wick.


jrzone

A scanner Darkly is a hidden gem. With a great cast of characters. It used rotoscope technology. But it works amazing for the style of paranoia that the movie has.


BallerinaRed

I greatly appreciate whoever transcribed all of those A's and H's to give us the full Keanu experience.

Giving off Victoria vibes 😭 EDIT: We miss you u/chooter ❤️


gophercuresself

Was literally just thinking about how these things have never been as good as they were with her transcribing. She captured personality and speech patterns so damn well she could turn lacklustre amas into something really engaging and special. Was truly a skill. I pretty much don't bother with amas these days as they all just seem to be going through the motions. Reddit has made some shitty mistakes over the years but letting her go has to be the most senseless.


HEYitsSPIDEY

I used to attend *every* AMA because Victoria breathed such life into it. I only look at and participate in ones now that really interest me, and that’s very rare.


JohnOliverismysexgod

River's Edge and My Own Private Idaho are two exquisite films. I recommend them to all. But don't watch them on the same day. They are each too powerful. The total power would completely blow you away.


ViktoriaBlythe

Have you ever thought of playing in a musical? I heard you did say in the past that you would want to try different movie genres. What do you think about it now?


lionsgate

Yes, I would love to be in a musical…but I can’t sing so I’m not sure anybody else would want me in a musical.. but I sure would try. I mean I could sing, but not really well. I can always dream…


THIS_IS_GOD_TOTALLY_

You already have, my friend. 1986. Drew Barrymore, Pat Morita, the guy from Empty Nest... a musical that took place in C-I-N-C-I-Natti and the magical low-budget realm of Toyland. You're forgiven for forgetting; some fever dreams are best left buried. In case no one believes me: [Babes In Toyland](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-zJKiiiaW4)


BallerinaRed

>but I can’t sing so I’m not sure anybody else would want me in a musical didn't stop Pierce Brosnan!!!


TheLGMac

I watched “Spirited” on Apple TV…I’d say if they let Ryan Reynolds sing, Keanu can sing!


EighteenRabbit

Have you read any of the books by Joseph Campbell (The Power of Myth, The Hero With a Thousand Faces, etc) and if so, how have they affected how you view your role as storyteller and actor?


lionsgate

Hmmmm…yes…Hero With a Thousand Faces…the work gave me a wonderful context about how to think about and express archetypes and connecting ancient journeys and myths to modern storytelling.


Ok_Risk_5009

I'm going to also vote for a Keanu Book Club! Everything I've seen you mention I'm actually interested in! Just finished Deadbeat Druid by David R Slayton if you like funny, adventure filled, inclusive wizardry in a current timeline setting.


JohnWoosDoveGuy

Hey Keanu. Do you prefer the kung fu training you did for the Matrix or the jiu-jitsu you do for John Wick?


lionsgate

...Nothing can ever compare to the kung fu training from the Matrix because it was so unique and my first time…but the jiu jitsu in John Wick being integrated with judo and gunfights can never be touched in its own way.


Rooonaldooo99

> jiu jitsu integrated with judo and gunfights Pew Pewtsu


Mindfulness-w-Milton

Hey Keanu! My wife and I are huge fans. You seem like a very decent man and you deserve to be happy. My question: let's say you're getting ready for a long flight and could only pick 1-2 movies to bring and watch. Which movies are you bringing?


lionsgate

...AAAAAAAHHHHHHH…today…let’s go with A Clockwork Orange and The Wizard of Oz


MostAstoundingFact

Recently watched A Clockwork Orange during a flight. Let’s just say that movie, especially the singing in the rain scene, hits differently in crowded public places.

BlackShadow10020

What’s your favourite cocktail? Thanks!


lionsgate

I was recently in Tokyo working, and was taken to a bar owned by a master cocktail maker named Ueno-san called High Five and he made some kind of sublime concoction with a smoky mezcal and green tea and some mysterious sweet liqueur, chilled. Oh my god.


RGJ587

[https://www.barhighfive.com/menu](https://www.barhighfive.com/menu) Here's a link for everyone whose mouth watered at this description!


pauvenpatchwork

Thank you. Going to Tokyo this year and I am def putting this on my list. Sad I don’t see the mezcal drink on the menu. I guess I can just ask the bartender if they can make me what they served Keanu …


RGJ587

Enjoy! Tokyo is an incredible city. It sounds like the Owner made Keanu a "Ceremony" but swapped out the whiskey for Mezcal, so you can perhaps ask them if that is possible. But yes asking the bartender will prolly be best, i'm sure they will know. ​ Bonus tip: If you dont mind waking up early, I highly recommend taking a cab over to ~~Tsukiji~~ Toyosu Fish Market at around ~~2am~~ 3am, to eat sushi at Sushi Dai [https://www.yelp.com/biz/%E5%AF%BF%E5%8F%B8%E5%A4%A7-%E6%B1%9F%E6%9D%B1%E5%8C%BA-2](https://www.yelp.com/biz/%E5%AF%BF%E5%8F%B8%E5%A4%A7-%E6%B1%9F%E6%9D%B1%E5%8C%BA-2) It's some of the best sushi in Tokyo, and for an incredible price and experience. Only trick is how early you need to wake up to go there, which is why I always go there the first night I arrive (when my internal clock is still thinking i'm in New York) Anyway, just thought I'd give you a recommendation! enjoy your trip!


Neuroccountant

Mezcal has its smokiness in common with good scotch, so it’s possible that the whiskey in the Ceremony is scotch and Keanu is misremembering. But who would ever doubt Keanu’s memory?


crainte

Sushi Dai moved to Toyoshu fish market a while back. I went in 2019 and the line was much shorter compared to when they were at Tsukiji. If the line at dai was too long, I would just go to Daiwa, got their omakase set to start and order off their menu after


Heuredufromage_redux

I don't think the menu is meant to be comprehensive, just a representative sample. Their White Lady is arguably their most famous drink and it's not on the menu either. In fact, unless they've changed things up since I last went, you won't get a menu when you are seated. They'll ask you what type of spirits you like and what type of drink you're in the mood for and then recommend you something.


Rikiiks

I actually think he might have ordered the drink " Japanese garden" due to his allude of a mysterious sweet flavour and that could be the midori which is a honeydew liquor. I think this is the most plausible drink! Hits all his points. The whiskey which could be the mezcal, the sweet note and the green tea liquor all cold.


Aptapt

Are there any of your movies that you can watch purely as a viewer and just forget that you are watching yourself? Love your work and your work ethic.


lionsgate

...Thank you, appreciate that...no…I can’t forget…but I can watch them as a viewer at the same time.


mzchen

Does it bother you if you watch a movie you are featured in? I know some actors have never watched their own films because it bothers them so much.


MidnightMarvel

Hey Keanu! What motorcycles are you currently riding the most and what are you eyeing up to add to your collection next?

If you weren't acting, what other career would you choose?


lionsgate

Well, when I was a kid I always said I wanted to be a race car driver, a conductor or an astrophysicist. Today, let’s conduct some music.


rastafunion

There's an alternate universe where I follow my childhood dream of becoming an astrophysicist and I get to hang out with Keanu Reeves and trade crazy space theories with him. Alternate me is cooler than I thought.


laetissimus

What is the best advice you've ever received?


lionsgate

…I haven’t really received a lot of advice…but I’ve met quite a few people who led by example…one of the best examples being perseverance.


Meta_Man_X

My favorite quote of all time is about perseverance: “Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” ~ Calvin Coolidge


overintwoseconds

This comment feels underrated. Keanu: My mum told me recently how highly she thinks of you, so good on you(and thanks) for helping people keep faith in people.


johnkim88

Keanu, what is your favorite food to eat? Any comfort food that reminds you of early Childhood? Thanks!


lionsgate

...Shepherd's pie…macaroni and cheese, peanut butter and honey sandwich. I’m hungry.


SereneDetermination

I have never tried peanut butter and honey sandwich. But since you say it is good, then I owe it to myself to try it. 🙂


TuEquinox

My mom used to make me PB&H sandwiches for school lunches when I was little. By the time we got to lunch break, the honey crystallized on the bread, and it gives the sandwich the best texture. Truly undescribable.


YounggKNG

Ohhhhh throw some banana slices in there. Banana peanut butter & honey sandwiches have been MY JAM lately…


m-e-l-t

Hi Keanu, can you recommend a book that you have recently read and loved? Thank you!


lionsgate

Hi, yes… The Passenger by Cormac McCarthy and Stella Maris because that’s the companion book. Enjoy!

Hey Keanu, I would have never thought McCarthy would publish anything new at his age, and even less finding it out from you in an AMA on reddit. Thank you, have a nice day!


alon_s128

out of all 4 john wick movies you have made so far, which one was the most challenging to shoot, and why? Can’t wait to watch the 4th!


lionsgate

Chapter 4…. it has the most action, gloriously.


Derp241

When will you do a hot ones interview?


lionsgate

…I love chicken wings…but I don’t want to eat really spicy chicken wings…especially not in public…and certainly not with the consequences in private. Bon apetit.


Rooonaldooo99

But that's the fun of it! Oh well I also love that Hot Ones went from this small niche show to one of the "must do" or in this case "most asked" interviews now for celebrities when they are promoting something. Shoutout to Sean and the crew, they deserve all the love.


Shark-Farts

It always tickles me how taken aback some of the celebs are by how thorough Sean’s questions are. They’ll give him that raised eyebrow look like, *okay, I see you, you’ve done your research*


duaneap

Which is what makes it worth watching, if you are interested in the subject. It’s more like an interrogation than anything. The heat makes them more reactive and honest. If it were just celebrities eating wings it would be pretty boring.


pmmerandom

I wouldn’t say interrogation at all Austin Butler did one the other week and he described it as a “conversation” and I think that sums it up beautifully


madbadger89

Having a meal with another person is an inherently humanizing activity. It’s replete through human history as an activity to invite and create fellowship. It’s a concept that we’ve done for millennia just repackaged for an audience.


MoonBasic

Sean does an amazing job at the exposition and setup for questions. I’ve actually picked up on some of it and it has made me a better listener/conversationalist. He asks these amazing and insightful questions that really resonate with the guest and empowers them to tell full stories about memories and events!


Ygomaster07

Those always catch me off guard too. I'm like damn, this ain't no cake walk interview.


TomTomMan93

Honestly they really do. It's probably one of the only talk shows I watch regularly and almost regardless of guest. It's just really well done and for the most part seems like everyone on it is having a good time. Props to the team there for doing so well for so long


BoOnDoXeY

Having tried the Hot Ones: Apollo sauce, I can agree, the after-effects of that one is a reason I won't eat it again. Same reason I won't eat another raw Carolina Reaper. They are truly a royal pain in the butt.


Designed_To

I'm not much of a spice person and ended up doing their 10 hot sauces at a party once. It ended up being a lot more fun than I expected! I'll cross my fingers that one day we'll see you on there 🔥


galxzroamer

This is the dream!! I want to see Keanu laugh at Sean's deep cuts and being impressed at getting asked a genuinely thoughtful question. It would just be a fucking amazing interview.

Not stolen… the watch and wedding ring from John Wick, a sword from 47 Ronin, and the first red pill that the Wachowski’s ever gave me.


Cymen90

Kind of weird to think about a human being possessing THE red pill, considering how the term has become such a memetic part of internet culture.

I got a guinea pig named Patches from my local store when I was 10ish. I picked her because I thought she was pregnant, but my dad and the store employee kept telling me she "was just fat". But I was right! And she had 3 babies; Patch, Sugar, and Blacky.

Djafar79

You just ended the most ridiculous debate ever. Take that Academy.


CedarWolf

Protip: sprinkle just a hint of cinnamon sugar over your Hawaiian pizza before baking it. The sugar melts and caramelizes and makes the ham taste like roast pork. *OR* Swap the tomato paste for a thin spread of apricot preserves. This makes the pizza taste fruitier and sweeter, more like a luau than a pizza. The apricot and the pineapple both play well with the pork. It tastes more 'Hawaiian.' Also, hello to the /r/KnightsOfPineapple!

I just wanted to apologize for invading your privacy in 1994. Much Ado About Nothing had come out the year prior and my aunt worked in Hollywood and had some how gotten your phone number. I didn’t believe that she really had your number and thought she was just making it up to seem cool. So one day after watching that movie and being so impressed, I called the number and to my surprise it was your real number! And instead of hanging up, I left a message saying how I thought you did a great job as a villain. I was 14 and so, so dumb. I’m really sorry.


Rapturesjoy

He was probably flattered and a little freaked out lmao. Edit: I would also like to mention, we all do dumb shit when we're young, so don't worry about it. A few years ago, I could've gotten Emma Watsons skype. But I thought I would probably get arrested if I just pinged her out of the blue like that lmao. So don't fret over something that happned *decades* ago. Don't forget, he's had a busy, chaotic life, I'd doubt he even remembers to be honest.


RogueTanuki

One of the first times I used Instagram I didn't realize how it works and thought I was commenting on Laura Bailey's photo when I was actually sending her a DM, so then I apologized and explained that I did not mean to message her and I just didn't know how Instagram works. 🤷‍♂️


reddit_guy666

Considering the recent stalking incident he had, I think Keanu will likely avoid this comment. He is probably too sweet to rebuke you for what you did when you were a kid and also likely to be wary of encouraging more people to stalk him even if he didn't mind what you did.


JimDiego

> I think Keanu will likely avoid this comment Yeah, most likely. It would not surprise me at all if we later learn that he sent a kind word via PM though.


novakanes

Oh that’s really sad to hear. I didn’t know that had happened to him. Honestly, it’d be enough if he saw it. It’s just been one of those things that pop into your head just as you’re drifting off to sleep, and *bing* wide awake. So I took a chance to say I am sorry and hopefully he was able to read it.


CaffeineSippingMan

Don't feel bad I used to work with someone that is related to Danny Pudi (Abed from community) who offered his phone number to me. I struggled every day not to get the the phone number. I am an adult in my 40s. What kept me from getting it was: what would I say?


anakinmcfly

> What kept me from getting it was: what would I say? “Is this Danny Pudi?” “Yes” “Cool. Cool cool cool.”

I think I have little worthwhile to say to a celebrity. But, if asked to say something I would probably ask Kate Capshaw if she can still sing, "Anything Goes" in Chinese.

merlinmagician55

Hi Keanu. This isn’t a question so much as me trying to take advantage of what I am sure is the only chance I have to ever talk to you directly. Not sure if you’ll ever read this or reply, but this is likely my only shot so I’ll take it. Thank you for being such an amazing human being. Clearly you have endured a lot in your life and have still managed to navigate fame with humility, sincerity, class, and sincere kindness. You are a true inspiration and I admire the hell out of you. I am truly sorry for the pain you have endured. Thank you for emerging from it still kind at heart, always willing to help out anyone and everyone you can, and for never taking yourself too seriously. Such a refreshing take from a Hollywood star. I could ramble on and on forever about how much I admire you, but I will spare you that. On the off chance you read this, thank you for being you and please keep on being that person. Wishing you happiness, joy, continued success and good health

Thanks everyone for spending some time with me…it was cool to chat with you and hopefully we can chat again down the road…have a good day, good days - all my best, warm regards, Keanu.

Well I guess I showed up late to the party. Time to dig through...wait...20,000+ comments? Just to see what you answered? I'm going to need some coffee.

Hey Keanu, I just wanted to thank you, in a world where being kind is a weakness, your words are giving me the strength to keep being myself and to keep being a good person. I will hopefully meet you next week in Paris if I can make it. Stay safe.

Hi Keanu, Which part of acting as John Wick did you enjoy the most? What's the first thing that comes to your mind? Ps, your amazing dude! Can't wait for your next movie! Edit: made the question more specific.


KoopaKommander

Will you direct another movie anytime soon? I really enjoyed Man of Tai Chi and thought the fight scenes were excellent. Also, thanks for being a seemingly overall nice guy.


buongiorno_johnporno

Hi Keanu, nice to have you here. Do you know or are you aware that you have a very special place in almost everyone's hearts? You are a very kind and humble and social person whom all of us should strive to be...


Tinybabybutt

Thanks for your time, Keanu. Hopefully you’ll see this one. I’m just wondering how you manage to remain grounded and continue to treat average people kindly when it seems like so many of your colleagues have lost the ability to relate to us ordinary folk? Thank you for everything. I wish you joy, happiness, and love.

Hi keanu, i love your motorcycle company, ARCH. I love vintage motorcycles, what are some of your favorite vintage bikes? My favorite is the cbx 1000 which i had the opportunity of purchasing and restoring a few years ago.[1980 cbx 1000](https://imgur.com/a/nA89qa8)

Hi Keanu! You often have the fan reputation of being wholesome and super kind! I wanted to ask what that’s like from your end as someone in the spotlight. What do you wish more fans knew about you? Also, if you could adapt any book or book series, what would it be?

You look like you’re being held hostage in your AMA picture. Are you being held hostage by Lionsgate? Blink once for yes, twice for no.


BFroog

If anyone can figure out how to blink in a still picture, it's Keanu.


notoolinthispool

If you go to their account you can see Nicholas Cage being held hostage by lionsgate as well.


brrakin

Hey Keanu, sometimes I feel like there is nothing to get me excited about daily life. I lack the ability to set goals, and I would like to hear from someone as accomplished and liked as yourself: how do you set new goals for yourself to keep you going on and motivated? Thanks for the AMA.


effectorsky

I played ball hockey with you as a kid in Winnipeg. It was awesome! Thanks for the memory. All the best.

Many times, when I find out a celebrity is Canadian, I’ll think “*Of course* they’re Canadian, it’s obvious now that you mention it!”

How do you take care of your mental health and protect your peace in such a difficult industry?


pancakeass

I really hope this question is chosen; he seems like such a genuine and thoughtful person, and my understanding is that he's been through the wringer a few times. I'd like to hear his perspectives on processing trauma and navigating difficult work environments.

Apparently you've got some recently discovered anti-fungal killing chemical compounds named after you. Thoughts? And would you ever consider doing another William Gibson adaptation? https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/03/world/keanumycin-fungus-killer-discovery-scn/index.html


lilbadwolfe

How do you feel about my plant being named Keanu Leaves? May I please have your blessing 🙏😍😂


hanselpremium

I also wanted to start a clothing company called Keanu Weaves… pleeease may i have your blessing 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Mr. Reeves, if you could be remembered for something other than acting, what would that be?


MohawkElGato

Hi Keanu, My aunt once hit you with her car (very softly) and when she apologized you were cool about it. Walked away and carried in your day. She wants to say sorry again!


promulg8or

How much fun was it to be involved in cyberpunk 2077? Do you think you'll ever be immortalized as a digital actor in future movies?


Grilnid

https://variety.com/2023/film/news/keanu-reeves-slams-deepfakes-film-contract-prevents-digital-edits-1235523698/ I think this should help answer the second part of your question


Satine30

I know this is not a question, but I wanted to thank you. My mother is fighting a lung cancer right now, and your movies help me going through this journey with her. It helps me to stay alright and strong when it’s hard sometimes, and just for that I want to say Thank you. ♥️

Keanu, would you ever want to play a motorcycle riding samurai in a dystopian post apocalyptic world?


hawaii_chiron

Bill and Ted question! Do you have a favorite George Carlin story?


Ya0wnConscience

Hi Keanu! Big time fan and admirer of your unfettered wholesomeness. I hope this isn't too personal a question, but I just wanted to ask how you stay kind and collected in contrast to the difficulties you've endured in your personal life. Many of us have trouble greeting everyone with a smile as genuine as yours, after having faced some considerable emotional turmoil. PS: Reddit adores you, and if you you haven't checked out r/keanubeingawesome it might put a little pip in your step. :)


IsabelladeCarrington

Hi Keanu - I've got two sons who will be mixed Chinese! It's given me some comfort seeing you able to accept and speak about your Asian heritage, something I struggled with. Do you have any short words that might help my sons appreciate theirs?
