The humble Keanu Reeves
His father abandoned him when he was 3 years old and he grew up with 3 different stepfathers. He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was destroyed by a serious accident. His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a traffic accident. His best friend River Phoenix died of an overdose. His sister has leukemia.
And with everything that has happened, Keanu Reeves never misses an opportunity to help people in need.
When he was filming the movie "The Lake House", he overheard a conversation between two assistants in costumes; One cried because he was going to lose his house if he didn't pay $20,000 and the same day Keanu deposited the required amount into his bank account.
He also donated huge sums to hospitals.
In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu went into a bakery and bought a brioche and ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.
After winning astronomical sums for the Matrix trilogy, the actor donated more than 50 million dollars to the staff who handled the costumes and special effects - the true heroes of the trilogy, as he called them.
He also gave a Harley-Davidson to each of the stunt doubles. Total cost of several million dollars. And for many successful films, he gave up as much as 90% of his salary to enable the production to hire other stars.
In 1997, some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of homeless people in Los Angeles...
When most stars make a charitable gesture, they announce it to all the media. He never claimed to do good works…
This man could buy everything, but instead he gets up every day and chooses one thing that cannot be bought -
Be a good person your good deeds will be remembered.
