Keanu Reeves Once Bought An Ice-Cream Just So He Could Give His Fan An Autograph On The Receipt
You might never know it by simply looking at him, but Hollywood star Keanu Reeves is 54 years old. And still, you have all the reasons in the world to love him.
He plays a ruthless and deadly hitman in John Wick movies, but he is the nicest guy in Hollywood, and perhaps, the most humble man alive in the world too.
If you still don¡¯t believe us, here is what Keanu Reeves said on being asked as to what keeps him down to earth.
And if you need more proof, you need to read what he did for his fan who wanted an autograph from him.
Keanu Reeves surprised James Dator when he came to watch a Johnny Depp movie at a theatre where he worked, and what unfolded later was simply magical.
In honor of John Wick 3 I have a Keanu Reeves story.

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 ¡ª almost nobody is seeing movies.

I¡¯m working the box office, bored as hell and suddenly this dude walks up in jeans, a leather jacket and a horse riding helmet. A full ass, weird equestrian looking helmet. It takes me a solid 30 seconds to ignore the helmet and realize it¡¯s Keanu Reeves

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

¡°I don¡¯t work here,¡± Keanu says. Seemingly confused by my offer. I¡¯m flustered and just charge him the normal price. Kicking myself after for not getting 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 realized you probably wanted my autograph,¡± he says. ¡°So I signed this.¡± He hands me a receipt from the concessions stand that he signed on the back. He then casually throws an ice cream cone in the trash can and sees his movie
¡ª James Dator (@James_Dator) May 17, 2019
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.

And people are almost in tears after reading this story.

I love that. What does it cost to remain a real, decent human? Not much.... maybe some carbs.

And then, some more people shared their encounter with Keanu Reeves. All these stories are so heartwarming.
Keanu 4ever. Saw this man sitting on a fire hydrant in NYC. A fucking fire hydrant. & he looked cool doing it. Mustered the courage to speak to him as he¡¯s getting up & he was the nicest guy on the planet. Let me take 2 selfies because my hand was shaking too much the first time. pic.twitter.com/XvQKPix1cX

I also saw Keanu in a movie theatre once and he was also wearing a helmet.

Shortly after bill and Ted came out, 8 year old me saw him at Newark airport. Went up to him and asked ¡°are you keanu reeves?¡± ¡°Yea, I am.¡± He spoke to my older brother and I for 45 minutes and gave us his number. He was awesome to spend that time with. We called but missed him.

Seeing Keanu on the subway was one of the few times my raised in New York celebrity pass¨¦ attitude threatened to erupt into full fan girl.
