Keanu Reeves Surprises Newly Weds, Proving Again How Wholesome He is
Keanu Reeves, star of The Matrix and John Wick movies, surprised a newlywed couple at their wedding reception. Reeves is a prolific actor who works across genres, starring in independent dramas like My Own Private Idaho, action titles like Point Break, horror films like The Devil’s Advocate, and romantic comedies like Always Be My Maybe. While he’s played some of the most iconic characters of all time, the Canadian actor is probably best known as Neo in The Matrix and the titular role in the John Wick series.
Reeves is one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actors, earning $250 million for his work in The Matrix franchise. Some of his upcoming projects include Devil in the City, Reeves’ first big leap into the television world, and the next John Wick chapters. While many Hollywood actors are notorious for having inflated egos, Reeves has always been beloved by fans for his movies and caring personality. However, one lucky fan saw just how far the actor would go to show he cares.
Twitter user Nikki Roadnight shared that Reeves was a special surprise guest at her wedding reception. Before the wedding, the groom discovered Reeves in the hotel bar and invited The Matrix actor to the reception. After the wedding ceremony, a hotel staff member informed the celebrating couple that a special guest was about to join their reception. Reeves stayed to congratulate the couple on their nuptials, visit the wedding guests, and take pictures, leaving everyone feeling starstruck and amazed by his kindness and humility. Check out Roadnight’s post below:
Reeves is known for these kinds of down-to-earth interactions with strangers. Last month, a young fan asked for Reeves’ autograph at baggage claim and then fired a bunch of questions at the actor. Reeves answered them all in stride, even though he must have been tired after an international flight, and a Twitter thread about the whole encounter went viral. He’s also been documented buying ice cream to autograph the receipt for a fan and donating vast amounts of money to children’s hospitals.
Reeves has such a stellar reputation that there was recently a Change.org petition to name him Time Magazine’s Person of the Year. While the award ended up going to someone else, there’s no doubt that Reeves is a beloved celebrity. If anyone encounters Keanu Reeves out in the world, there’s a good chance he’ll go out of his way to make it an unforgettable experience.
