Actor Keanu Reeves Has A Secret - He Funds Children's Hospitals Around The Globe

Oct 27, 2018

When you see a celebrity do good deeds, you always question their motives. Are they doing it for the publicity? Do they really believe in what they are doing? It is hard to just assume the best about a celebrity when there can be so many reasons why they volunteer or donate to a charity.

There are also many celebrities who never bother to do any good in the world. They are greedy and only care about earning more money. It is always refreshing to see an actor who genuinely wants to make the world a better place. One recent example of this has fans everywhere going nuts.

Keanu Reeves is known for his acting talent, but a recent story about his charitable work has been getting a lot of attention. Instead of trying to build a public image based on his volunteer work, Keanu did all of his good deeds in private. Apparently, his volunteer work was revealed by one Reddit user who previously worked with Keanu.

In the 1990s, the Reddit user worked as an assistant prop designer. Keanu Reeves and Morgan Freeman were both acting on the set. Apparently, Keanu was an amazing actor to work with because he would take all of the stagehands out for free breakfast and lunch during the last few weeks of filming. Over the years, the Reddit user worked on around 30 different sets with Keanu. On each occasion, Keanu was a genuinely approachable, kind person. Other actors were horrible human beings, but Keanu was a truly amazing person.

Keanu is more than just a good person. He also happens to be exceptionally generous. Years ago, Keanu watched his sister fight leukemia. After seeing her challenges and exhaustion, he wanted to do something to help researchers and fight cancer.

In 2009, Keanu revealed that he had set up a private foundation about six years earlier. The money from that foundation goes to cancer research and children’s hospital. The truly amazing part is that he is not publicly connected to the charity at all. He wanted the foundation to do its good work without having his name attached to it.

Later on, Keanu's fans discovered a different good deed. Apparently, Keanu gave the costume and special effects teams on “The Matrix” series $100 million. Other Reddit users have their own personal stories of meeting or working with Keanu. On Reddit, there are many comments about Keanu giving huge bonuses to people who were having money problems. When co-workers had car issues, he gave them a ride.

While it might be easier to give away money when you earn a lot of money in Hollywood, most celebrities are not nearly as generous as Keanu. From the sound of the stories, it seems like he is an exceptionally kind, humble individual. If there were more people like him, the world would be a much better place. Check out this video about how kind he treats his youngest fans:
