Keanu Reeves is one of Hollywood's most recognizable stars. With a career spanning over four decades, the Canadian actor has a reputation for delivering award-winning performances. With a series of impressive performances across diverse genres, Reeves's well-known works include his role as the leading man in two box officer hit franchises; "John Wick" and "The Matrix." According to Thrillist, it was Reeves' soulful portrayal of John Wick which made him a cultural phenomenon. But the way he carries himself off-screen turned him into an internet sensation. 

Accompanying his impressive filmography is Reeves' incredibly humble perspective. The "Matrix" star has garnered the reputation as one of the "nicest guys in Hollywood." His kindness off-camera led him to become the internet's favorite celebrity and eventually crowned him as the internet's boyfriend. Although a kind, the award-winning actor faced many hardships in his life. According to Looper, the star was abandoned by his father as a child, moved frequently, and attended several high schools but didn't receive a diploma. His successful acting career came with its own set of problems. During the height of his career, he lost his friend and co-star, River Phoenix. Years later, he suffered the loss of a child when his girlfriend Jennifer Syme delivered their stillborn daughter, Ava Archer Syme-Reeves, on December 24, 1999. The overwhelming grief consumed the young couple, and they eventually separated. But despite the misfortunes in his life, Reeves has always put his best foot forward and has left a lasting impression on fans, fellow co-stars, and Hollywood itself. 

This time Reeves was praised for answering a fan's questions while waiting for his luggage after a flight from London to NYC. According to Andrew Kimmel's tweet on July 5, 2022, Reeves was happy to satisfy the young fan's curiosity. 

Keanu Reeves charmed fans with his bashful reaction to being regarded as the "nicest guy in Hollywood." 

Keanu Reeves appeared alongside Matrix co-star Carrie-Anne Moss on the Red Table Talk, an online talk show hosted by their co-star Jada Pinkett Smith, her daughter Willow Smith and her mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris. During his time on the show, Reeves answered fans' questions which were asked through a video message. 

A fan from California asked the "Point Break" star:

"Keanu, everyone says you're Hollywood's nicest guy, and you're such a giving person. What do you do to give to yourself?"

The question caused Reeves to smile as he doubled over in embarrassment. He only lifted his head to reply to his fan's question. 

"Let's go for a motorcycle ride, let's read. I love going to the movies. For me, my work is that as well," the "Constantine" actor responded. "I often sometimes get asked, 'You know, you've been at this for a while, and they're like, 'Do you still love it?'

"And I'm like, 'Yeah, I love it even more.' For me, work is life."

In an interview with NepalPage, Reeves explained how acting became a form of stability for him while going through some of his most traumatic experiences. 

"Working a lot and constantly moving from one film set to another has been important in helping me overcome some of the more painful times in my life," the actor told the outlet. "Every film set gives me the feeling that I'm part of a new family and I feel fortunate to be able to have a job that gives me a lot of satisfaction. But I still work at finding more inner strength and wisdom and hopefully look towards the future with greater optimism."

Keanu Reeves's kind reputation continues to follow him wherever he goes. While standing in line at baggage claim, a young fan bombarded the famed actor with a long list of questions. The actor patiently and attentively answered every question the young boy had. The now-viral moment was captured by TV producer Andrew Kimmel in a tweet praising the star's kindness. The tweet has been retweeted over 22,000 times. 

Kimmel wrote that Reeves "happily" answered all of the boy's "rapid-fire questions."

The boy, who was later identified as 14-year-old Alex Katsanos, spoke with ET Online about the internet trending airport moment. 

"When the plane was first boarding, I was pretty sure I saw him, but he entered the plane so quickly, so I wasn't sure," Katsanos explained to the outlet. "The whole flight from London, I was thinking about, 'What if it is him? What should I say? What should I get him to sign?'"

The recent middle schooler graduate approached Reeves at the baggage claim with a ripped piece of paper from a paper bag and a pen given to him by his flight attendant. 

"I was also asking general questions about why he was in London and what he is doing in New York, and then he asked me questions like why I was in London and what stuff I did there," Katsanos retold their interaction. "I was genuinely interested in what he had done in London and what he was doing in New York."

The 14-year-old is still in awe of the moment: 

"I still can't believe I not only got the chance to see him but to have a conversation with him and get his autograph," he told the outlet. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and it was incredible."
