“If I found our kitchen had been cleaned overnight and was told ’Keanu sat on the train for 2 hours to do our kitchen, wouldn’t accept any money’, I’d believe it,” this is how a Reddit user described the kindness typical of the actor. This time our beloved Keanu made an 80-year-old woman’s whole year just by doing one simple thing.
Grandma has been his longtime fan.
The user’s 80-year-old grandma had a crush on Keanu for a long time as he reminded her of her husband when he was young. In her early 70s, she had a stroke that made her housebound. For about 10 years, her main hobby and entertainment was movies, so the grandma went for all Keanu stuff.
The user’s uncle accidentally met Keanu.
After the Matrix came out, the user’s uncle was on a business trip in LA. He was at a restaurant and suddenly saw Keanu accompanied by a woman. Once the actor finished his meal, the uncle came up to him and said, “I don’t usually do this, but I just wanted you to know that my 80-year-old mother loves you and has seen all of your movies. You remind her of my dad.”
Keanu’s reaction was priceless.
Reeves asked the uncle for a phone saying, “Give her a call, I want to talk to her.” He spoke with the user’s grandmother for several minutes, and it “absolutely made her year.” The grandma felt isolated, and Keanu’s act of kindness and interest was like a breath of fresh air. Besides, it also showed her again that Keanu has a heart of gold.
People didn’t even doubt Keanu’s deed.
Someone commented that any positive story with Keanu Reeves in it is instantly 100% believable. It’s fair to say that the actor is known for his random acts of kindness that make his fans love him even more.
No doubt, there are a hundred stories with Keanu. We have one more where the actor shared a bus with other passengers instead of a private ride after an emergency landing.
