Keanu Reeves ( born September 2, 1964) is a Lebanese-born Canadian actor, director, producer, and musician. He gained fame for his starring role performances in several blockbuster films, including Bill and Ted franchise, Point Break Speed, John Wick franchise, The Devil's Advocate, Constantine, The Matrix, Dangerous Liaisons My Own Private Idaho, Little Buddha, Bram Stoker's Dracula.
But his life was full of tragedies. At the age of three, his father left their family. They stayed in touch for a few years, but after the divorce and moving from city to city, they fell out of contact. Keanu attended four different high schools and struggled with dyslexia, making his education more challenging than it is for most. Eventually, he left high school without earning a diploma.
At the age of 23, his closest friend River Phoenix died of a drug overdose. During a Reddit AMA last year, Keanu said: “He was a remarkable human person and actor. We got along very well, and I miss him. I think of him often.”
In 1998, Keanu met Jennifer Syme. The two fell instantly in love and by 1999, Jennifer was pregnant with their daughter. Sadly, after eight months, their child was born stillborn. They were devastated by her death and it eventually ended their relationship. 18 months later, Syme would die in a car accident.
And yet, even with all these tragedies this amazing man continues his work and inspires many with his passion.
