A woman tells the story of being stranded on the side of a highway not far from Los Angeles. The car she was driving broke down. This was before it was the norm for the majority of people to have cell phones. The woman was unable to get in touch with family and friends. A black Porsche pulled over to offer assistance. The driver was Keanu Reeves. When he could not jumpstart the car for the stranded woman, he drove her home.

Members of the special effects crew on the set of the second Matrix movie say that each of them received a Harley Davidson for Christmas. As is the norm, all individuals on the set agreed that there was no one nicer than Keanu Reeves.

A camper met Keanu Reeves while enjoying time at a local campground. Reeves approached the camper and complimented her dog.

She found out later that Reeves was camping alone in a one-man tent.
