Apparently, Keanu Reeves is a really cool guy.

Check out these stories from people that have met him:

Back in the late 90s and fresh out of college I got my first job as an assistant prop designer on the set of Chain Reaction (Keanu was a supporting actor with Morgan Freeman). EVERY DAY for the last few weeks of filming, Keanu treated the stage hands and “grunt workers” (including myself) by taking us out for free breakfast and lunch. He was genuinely a very nice guy to work with.

I met Keanu when he was in Australia doing the matrix. I knew who he was, but when I asked him what he did for a living he answered “I’m a struggling musician”. I thought that was sweet.

I had a few friends working special effects jobs on the Matrix movies, he bought all of them ****ing HARLEYS for Christmas during the shoot for the second one.

There are no bad stories about Keanu. I live in LA and work in North Hollywood, and everyone I’ve ever heard out here tell a story about Keanu says nothing but great things. Everyone loves that guy. It’s made me love his movies. I don’t care how great they are. I love to see him, because he makes me happy. I like to know there’s someone like that.

Paul also told me that Keanu once explained to him why he was getting so many action roles. He had injured himself at some point and had fused vertebrae in his upper back or neck, so when he turned his head, his shoulders and chest tended to follow, because of his limited flexibility. “It makes me look dynamic, rather than disabled” was his explanation.

Chatted with a feature writer for Details who spent basically a whole day with Keanu for his profile last year or maybe the year before. He went to a bookstore with him and (this is in the story) Keanu is REALLY well-read: Keanu mused enthusiastically about Thomas Pynchon, obscure poets, Norman Mailer, etc. as he bounces around the book store. Keanu is also a lot better read than he seems, apparently.

So, I propose a Keanu Reeves appreciation thread. The best guy in Hollywood.

This thread has been great to me. I felt awesome when I read it, and I feel so amazing replying.

Here's my story:


Beau Bridges is awesome.
Apparently, Beau Bridges is a really cool guy.

Check out these stories from people that have met him:

Back in the late 90s and fresh out of college I got my first job as an assistant prop designer on the set of Jerry Maguire (Beau was a supporting actor with Tom Cruise). EVERY DAY for the last few weeks of filming, Beau treated the stage hands and “grunt workers” (including myself) by taking us out for free breakfast and lunch. He was genuinely a very nice guy to work with.

I met Beau when he was in Texas doing Sidekicks. I knew who he was, but when I asked him what he did for a living he answered “I’m a struggling musician”. I thought that was sweet.

I had a few friends working special effects jobs on the Stargate SG-1 series, he bought all of them ****ing HARLEYS for Christmas during the shoot for the second episode.

Paul also told me that Beau once explained to him why he was getting so many after-school special roles. He had injured himself at some point and had fused vertebrae in his upper back or neck, so when he turned his head, his shoulders and chest tended to follow, because of his limited flexibility. “It makes me look dynamic, rather than disabled” was his explanation.

Beau Bridges is just an awesome guy.

BB sounds like a pretty cool guy +reps^5
 
Keanu might be a great guy, but he's also an F........B.........I Agent.



The Matrix was great. Speed was great. The first Bill and Ted was funny. I never understood the love for Point Break.
 
The first Matrix was awesome. Beyond that, if not for Monica Belluci the 2nd movie would have been unbearable and the third? It got so convoluted it just caved in on itself.

Bill & Ted - Mindless, stupid and pure fun.

Point Break - It was a decent movie. Watching Anthony Kiedis blow a hole through his foot is always a great addition to any movie. Plus, a squeaky clean character named Johhny Utah that slowly gets corrupted? Pure brilliance. The only thing that would have made it better is if Reeves' character had a gay encounter... on second thought, he may just have. He and Bodhi spent a lot of time wrapped around each other.

Speed - I find this to be one of his more meh films. Not only is Reeves a lousy actor but Bullock wasn't much better.

All in all he pretty much acts each character out the same way he did in the prior movie. Slap an FBI hat on him in the Matrix and you'd never know the difference. So yeah, he sucks as an actor but he has a knack for being in movies that are just fun and entertaining. I always thought he'd make a pretty good terminator.
 
Special Agent Utah!

I always thought him and Sandra Bullock belonged together, they got some good chemistry.

Oh, and cool story, bro.
