With 'John Wick 3' racking up stellar reviews, Keanu Reeves' stock as an actor is arguably at an all-time high.
However, the story below demonstrates that not only is he more than capable of banging out top-notch action films, he's also a stand-up guy.
A former cinema employee from Sydney, Australia took to Twitter to share his experience of meeting Reeves back in 2001, when he was in Sydney to shoot 'The Matrix'. One quiet morning, the actor turned up to buy a ticket to see 'From Hell', and, well... just read for yourself what happens.
It's always nice to hear that famous people you admire aren't complete knobs in real life, and this will make you love Keanu that little bit more. Bill Murray-esque, you might even say.
Keanu came to the movie theater I worked at in Sydney in 2001. He was working on the Matrix series at the time. It’s a quiet, Wednesday morning — almost nobody is seeing movies.

He wants to buy a ticket for “From Hell,” the Johnny Depp movie. I’m so fucking star struck I do what any sensible 16-year-old does and tell him I’d like to give him my employee discount. This means he needs to sign my sheet and therefore I have his autograph

2 minutes later there’s a knock on the door behind me that leads into the box office. I assume it’s my manager. It’s Keanu.

I realize later that he bought an ice cream cone he didn’t want, just to get receipt paper so he could scribble his autograph for a 16-year-old idiot.
