Keanu Reeves stopped to answer a young fan’s question in the most heartwarming celebrity exchange ever

We need more Keanus!

Keanu Reeves has cemented his position as the nicest celebrity in Hollywood, by indulging a young fan at an airport whose questions just kept on coming.

Reeves, famous for donating big chunks of cash to charity and lavishing expensive gifts on the set of his movies, was captured displaying A-list humility and kindness while at the baggage carousel by TV producer Andrew Kimmel.

Having got off a London-New York flight, the Matrix star was asked for an autograph by a young fan who then proceeded to grill him on, well, a lot of things.

For starters, why he had been in London, how long he would be in New York and what was he doing there.

Kimmel detailed the exchange on Twitter.

“Keanu Reeves was on my flight from London to NYC today,” he wrote.

“A young boy asked for an autograph at baggage and then began to fire off a series of rapid-fire questions. Keanu happily responded to every single one,” Kimmel tweeted, going on to transcribe the entire back-and-fourth.

Kimmel added: “The man could not have been nicer, especially after an international flight. I thought I’d share this because the dude is a class act and little moments like this can make such a big difference in people’s lives. We need more Keanus.”

Naturally, Kimmel also got a snap with Reeves.

 

Kimmel’s Twitter thread really struck a chord with other users on the platform.

Reeves won over a new generation of fans with the John Wick franchise but he became widely known in the eighties with cult films like Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Parenthood. Classics like Speed and Point Break cemented his celebrity in the 90s, before the Matrix movies made him a superstar.
