Hey there,
I'm Keanu Reeves. Yeah, that guy from the movies. But hey, there's more to me than just what you see on screen.
Born in Beirut, Lebanon, on a day when the world was still figuring itself out—September 2, 1964. I've been wandering this planet ever since, trying to make sense of it all.
Growing up was a bit of a whirlwind. My roots are a mix of British, Hawaiian, and Chinese, and boy, did we move around. From Beirut to Sydney, then New York City, and finally settling in Toronto. Dad took off when I was just a kid, but mom? She was my rock. She taught me resilience, kindness, and the value of just being.
Acting found me in high school. I stumbled onto the stage and found a home. It wasn't about the lights or the applause; it was about telling stories, connecting with people, and maybe escaping reality for a little while.
Fast forward a bit, and suddenly I'm in movies. "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" put me on the map, and I've been riding that wave ever since. "Speed," "The Matrix," you name it. But fame? Nah, never been my thing. I'm just a guy doing what he loves.
So, here I am, still figuring it all out, still trying to make a difference. Life's a journey, right? And I'm just along for the ride.
Take care,
Keanu
