I have had a personal encounter with Keanu Reeves, he is absolutely a genuine regular guy, he will not allow himself above others. He was at my place of work. He had been working on a project for a while and blended in with the employees, was kind and thoughtful and humble. He asked for nothing while there and waited for coffee with the rest of us. Just very kind to everyone. Truly a good person, one of the best celebrity I have ever encountered in my life.

Another class act is Greg Kinnear. What a pleasant humble wonderful person as well. I volunteered with him on Habitat for Humanity. Kind and gracious.

[–][deleted] 1008 points1009 points  (57 children)

The funny thing is most of Kinnear's roles have him playing a somewhat pretentious character. 😂

[–]FancyAdult 438 points439 points  (41 children)

Haha yeah. But he’s the best. Seriously a wonderful human.

[–]Block_Me_Amadeus 180 points181 points  (6 children)

I'm so glad to hear that. He's in one of my very favorite movies (as good as it gets), and it's nice to know he's legit.

I LOVE that film! Stellar cast, including Greg.

    I think Michael Keaton is pretty damn good guy too.

    So Keanu Reeves, Greg Kinnear, and Michael Keaton are all really great men. Who else we got?

    [–]RunninOnMT 46 points47 points  (6 children)

    RIP, but Anthony Bordain stayed at a hotel I worked at as a young man. He was very kind to all the staff.

    A lot of "food celebrities" would stay there, Alton Brown also stuck out as being incredibly kind to everyone.

    [–]TK-CL1PPY 20 points21 points  (4 children)

    When I need to cook something new, I check to see if Alton did it. Then I follow his instructions to the letter.

    [–]ElectroshockGamer 5 points6 points  (3 children)

    It seems like all the chefs that come off as harsh or troll-ish on the big screen always end up being to nicest (Alton Brown and Gordon Ramsay, for instance. Alton's trolling is basically confined to Cutthroat Kitchen and Gordon is only really harsh when he feels like he needs to be)

      Dolly Parton 💛

      [–]SmokyJett 13 points14 points  (1 child)

      Dolly is an absolute gem. My family used to get season passes to her theme park, Dollywood every year for like 15+ years. We had multiple interactions with Dolly over the years of going there and every single time was just as amazing as the last.

      She has a way of making you feel like the most important person in the world whenever she’s talking to you and she seems to just genuinely love everyone.

      I'm told Charles Barkley. My ex and I used to work at Mohegan Sun casino, in the cage (tellers/banks). He was a supervisor, and he came to check off on a large transaction, and it was Charles Barkley. It's usually a simple thing, he verifies the amount of chips and the money being paid out. But Barkley made a point to look at his name tag, and shake his hand and use his name. Very small interaction, but it was clear that he works hard to make others feel important. I know nothing about basketball, can't even tell you what team he played for (rip my notifications), but I'll always tell this story if he's mentioned

      My dad was working security at a film set one time and he said Michael Keaton talked with him for a good while about hockey, super cool dude. Said he was a Penguins fan though and that this was a major character flaw.

      [–]AccessDeniedTryAgain 11 points12 points  (0 children)

      Years ago, my dad was at a hotel in Las Vegas. He went down to the bar one evening and André the Giant was there. He said they sat for hours, just chilling and talking. He said he was genuinely the nicest human being.

      [–]wpaed 21 points22 points  (5 children)

      I know he did some shit things in his youth, but my personal experience with Mark Wahlberg showed him to be a pretty damn good guy as well. My coworker and I chatted with him for about 20 minutes on our lunch break, I didn't even know who he was until afterwards when my coworker informed me (I can be fairly oblivious about celebrities).

      [–]HolyForkingBrit 17 points18 points  (0 children)

      Someone else said Tom Hanks. Dude is a wholesome legend.

      I thought of Morgan Freeman after I posted the comment. Seems like a great human too.

      Also, yay for getting to meet Mark Whalberg!! How cool!! Makes some great movies.

            Like Johnny silver hand starts that way but I like how by the end of the game he knows he fucked up and with an optional scene you can actually give him some sort of redemption in who he is.

            Even in amateur filmmaking I've noticed that villain actors are always the nicest dudes lol. Like the more spooky the villain, the more chill the actor probably is. Especially with the overpowered, haughty, pretentious style villain. Your evil mega corporation CEOs and vampire lords are the best.

              Honestly, it sounds like Keanu isn't just a regular guy level of kindness but something else altogether. I wonder if he hadn't gone into acting, if his chosen profession would have been something humanitarian related.

              [–]MaestroPendejo 57 points58 points  (4 children)

              I'll leave what my buddy Monroe thought of him when I lived in Charlotte, NC. "This n***a is the real white Jesus and ain't nobody know it." 20 years later and he still has a Polaroid of him smiling ear to ear with Keanu next to Keanu's rental Camry.

              Edit: OH MY GOD I fucked this up. Autocorrect or something failed me. "when I lived in" got corrected to "when he died in." Holy shit.

              [–]LetsWalkTheDog 8 points9 points  (1 child)

              Sorry your buddy passed. What’s the cool story of the Polaroid of him and Keanu? It must have been great to save a moment like that for 20 years!!

              Also did you know that Keanu is Asian? His dad is Asian and his mom is English. He’s pretty active in the Asian community and did an awesome netflix movie Always Be My Maybe.

              [–]MaestroPendejo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

              Yes. I did. My friend thought he was white. But that was pretty common back in '02. I'm not sure what he was doing in down, but my friend I worked with had a son closer to my age I was sort of mentoring at the time, he was working as a valet at a restaurant in Charlotte, NC.

              He parked his rental for him. My buddy had realized who he was and called me. He was a big fan of The Matrix but wanted to know more of his work. I told him a bunch of movies he had done and I said I was really happy with A Walk in the Clouds.

              When Keanu came back out, another guy grabbed the car and my buddy talked to Keanu about his movies and mentioned A Walk in the Clouds. Keanu excitedly said "MY MAN!" Gave him a high five and asked if he had a camera. The restaurant obliged as they had one they just used to take a picture of him to put on the wall.

              He was a good guy. I wish I had done better mentoring him.

                According to recent studies, extreme variants of kindness and evil could very well be genetic, its not really something you could "learn" from nurture.

                Keanu was born to be good.

                We must take his genes and infect everyone with it, use the COVID virus, call it the "Kindness lab leak" theory. lol

                    I know, when I met him I expected him to be a jerk because my mind already had some idea. Even though I know it’s fiction. I was pleasantly surprised. He was funny and chipper for so early in the morning, happily helping with his hammer pounding nails into this house frame. We all signed our names on the wood frame and he wrote some cute little saying. I can’t remember what it was but it was funny.

                    [–]badson100 14 points15 points  (1 child)

                    He will always be my favorite Talk Soup host. He would crack me up with how he looked at the camera after a really stupid clip.

                    About 30 years ago, I can't believe it's been that long. Keanu was with some guy, and they were returning a rental car. I have no idea why they were renting a car or anything, but he was super nice. Now he wasn't a huge star then (this was before speed) but I remembered him from Bill and Ted's excellent adventure and I said "who was Jon of Arc" and he just said in Ted's voice "Noah's Wife". It was so awesome.

                    [–]Impossible-Ghost 10 points11 points  (2 children)

                    I’ve only seen two movies with him in it, the first John Wick ( which I admit wasn’t my thing, but I enjoyed his personal performance so that prevented me from turning it off too soon), and The Matrix, I may have seen other movies but when he comes to mind those are the only films I remember. Regardless of my lack of knowledge of his full filmography I am a personal fan of him as an individual because I’ve watched every interview with him in it that crosses my YT feed simply because it’s just fantastic to hear him talk. I WILL watch the rest of the matrix movies even if it takes the rest of my life to do it ( I’m really bad at finishing movie series’ that I start but for some reason good at keeping up with shows🤷🏻‍♂️😂).

                    [–]OhioPolitiTHIC 20 points21 points  (0 children)

                    Please oh please watch him in Constantine. It's genuinely a great performance by him and the whole movie is really good.

                        I dont think hes human. Humans arent as nice as he is. Had a great conversation with him at an airport when i was in my early teens flying alone. We talked anime and comics. I was a 14 yr old fat, goth, autistic kid and he made me feel like i was normal

                        Edit: i dont remember much, but it started when he complimented my X-Men TAS backpack.

                        When I was 14 he signed an autograph for me that my sister asked for because I was too shy. He had a huge stack of CDs in his hands (at the old now gone Tower Records in LA). He signed with one hand & wrote “Party On Dude!”. Good to know he’s out there making kids feel better about themselves. A treasure of a soul. <3

                        There are reasons he's so kind and generous to children and families but they are a little too sad of a topic for this thread.

                        He deserves all the love and happiness he can get in life and he's still just choosing to radiate it outwards.

                        He's the model human

                            Not an actor tho, he is the example to us that Mr. Rogers told us all to be for all those years. He gets to be one in the public eye.

                            I’m not saying that he is doing that because of Mr. Rogers, just to make that clear. Just saying he’s the kind of human that Mr. Rogers told us all to be.

                            Back in the mid-90s, in Seattle, I was spending the afternoon with a friend of my mother's. We were standing in her kitchen looking out the front window and Dave Grohl walked by. I was gobsmacked and said "Do you know who that is?" She said "Oh yes, that's David. He lives up the street. He's just the nicest young man." She had no idea who he was other than that he was a nice young man who lived on her block.

                            Before they got stupid big but were on that cusp (nevermind had just dropped) my mother in law was eating in a cafe and Dave walked in and sat at a table next to her. She said she thought he looked like a band person so she politely asked him if he knew any bands her son might be interested in because she wanted to buy him some records. She said he was the nicest young man and asked what kind of music and yadda yadda and he suggested a couple bands and in the end she finally asked if he was in a band and he said yes ma'am I'm the drummer for a band called nirvana and my mother in law said oh that's nice I hope you guys make it. She came home and told my brother in law and he flipped out and was yelling "do you have any idea who you just had lunch with?!"

                                he's in talks. but it's like Man on Fire/Taken. Mrs McFeely got kidnapped and the story takes him to such places as Tokyo and Bucharest as Mr Roger's applies kindness and compassion to weave his way through a human trafficking ring

                                    I wasn't bad with my first child. My second? I'd start sobbing just telling my bf I loved him. Oof the hormones!! Many blessings to you!

                                    Those days just thinking about someone I love makes me tear up... And I'm a man, so not pregnant... Is there something wrong with my hormones? I'm geniunely concerned now

                                    [–]radioborderland 23 points24 points  (1 child)

                                    While hormonal changes can drive changes in behavior there are lots of other potential causes. You might have gone through a transformational experience, or you might just be more in touch with your emotions these days. I wouldn't be concerned unless you are also experiencing clear indications of ill health.

                                    Bro, I'm a giant softie too. I still can't watch the Land Before Time bc I'll start sobbing at that one part (you know the part).

                                    Shit, I don't even need something that dramatic. I'll start choking up at the end of the Proposal - both when Sandra confesses to everyone at the wedding, and again at the office when she starts tearing up when he starts confessing his feelings.

                                        Look... he lives in the United States now, so he's ours by proxy. But I'll tell you what, feel free to take Ted Cruz back!!! We'll throw in Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene to help sweeten that deal. Theres a few more names on the list we can discuss but I can't show my hand all in one sitting.

                                        Can we send them all of our politicians regardless of political affiliation? That’s be great, maybe we can elect people who deserve it, like keanu

                                          they'd probably say "we only came here to meet Keanu" lol

                                          When people ask “Why would a highly advanced species, who have conquered the non-trivial challenge of intergalactic space flight, want to make contact with a relative back water like Earth?” I feel like “To meet Keanu Reeves” is actually a good answer.

                                                      I mean I do, but my screen is pretty cracked to hell and the lighter backdrop makes it easier to make out most of what's on my screen. I have dark lines going across different areas that look totally black without a brighter backdrop.

                                                      Dunno about other people though.

Even on the pictures he takes with fans he doesn't even have physical contact with them.

                                                              This is why I'm willing to let Christian Bale's behind the scenes tantrum slide, because losing his temper on-set one time just makes him normal, I imagine he looks back on that incident with regret like any person who lost their temper at work would, work can be stressful. Sucks that it tarnished his reputation forever, not enough to ruin his career thankfully, but enough that no one ever wants to meet him, no matter how many times he makes a movie and no tantrums occur people will still think he's a hot head.

                                                              Bale's still okay in my mind, I don't think it talked his reputation. I read the backstory about what happened and the guy he yelled at was really pushing it for a long time so I don't think he's a complete hothouse flower.

Started with spreading his royalties out to all the crew and FX guys, and he also donated some good chunks to charities. I don’t think he gave even half of his total matrix earnings way, but it was huge chunk for sure, and the fact that his first thought was to negotiate his own royalties for the production crew is really badass

He is a God Tier human and I don’t think any other celebrity is anywhere near Keanu level.

                                                                        He says he can't even have a bad day around people or tell off an annoying fan bothering him in public without shattering this persona that surrounded him because he was just trying to be so polite to people. I always think of him when reddit gushes over Keanu nonstop, because now it's going to be a big deal if he DOES ever say something that comes off as rude to a fan.

                                                                        Let the guy just be himself without putting him up on a pedestal all the time because he's such a perfect angel to everyone. I can only imagine that takes some degree of a mental toll on him.

It was late 90's so he was already on his way to being a big star and my sister commenting how it was nice he didn't drop out since some rising stars would be think acting in a stage production in a small city was beneath them after doing blockbuster movies. I heard he was lovely to all the fans who waited at the backdoor after the show to see home leave.

                                                                        " Yeah that's a decent human "

                                                                        In a world where rappers push murder/drug abuse, Celebrities like the kardashians pushing overpriced garbage fashion and corrupt politicians screwing over countries ..

                                                                        "Keanu is the rare few"

                                                                        Don't be an asshat, Be like keanu
