Keanu Reeves’ reaction to 9-year-old who says he’s his favorite actor is breaking hearts
If it wasn’t already abundantly clear, Keanu Reeves is a really, really good human being.
If you haven’t been completely out of touch, you’ve probably heard the tales and watched the clips. You know that despite being a huge celebrity with tons of money and crazy fame, Reeves is a really humble person who always values compassion and kindness.
Every few months, it feels like Reeves does something special to show us that he’s the best example of A-list celebrities who put others first and really seem to care about people.
Reeves, famous for his roles in big movies, has recently proven that he can also write comic books really well. He teamed up with Matt Kindt to create and write the series BRZRKR, which has become the top-selling single issue since Star Wars came out in 2015.
During a recent book signing event, a nine-year-old kid who loves the series went up to Keanu and told him that he was his “favorite actor.” How did Keanu respond?
Well, it’s as wholesome as you’d expect…
If your fame is as bright as Keanu Reeves’s, you can bet that there are hardly any days when someone doesn’t ask you for a picture or an autograph.
It’s easy to think that all the fuss could be exhausting sometimes. I mean, it makes sense that having so many people wanting your attention all the time could be draining. But if you watch Keanu with his fans, you would never know he feels that way.
The 58-year-old has shown his big heart and caring nature many times throughout the years. For instance, there was a moment when he answered a boy’s quick questions with a lot of kindness after a tiring flight. And remember when Sandra Bullock shared that he surprised her with champagne and truffles after she told him she had never tasted them before?
We could talk about this forever. The main idea is that Keanu Reeves is a really nice person, so it’s not surprising that he’s trending online again after meeting a nine-year-old fan.
According to reports, the young boy went up to Reeves during a book signing and said, “I’m a huge fan!”
In footage shared by IGN, Reeves can be heard asking the boy his name. When the nine-year-old says “Noah”, Keanu then introduces himself too (like there was any need).
“You’re probably my favourite actor in the whole world!” Noah says in the clip.
Keanu can then be seen wearing a beaming smile. “Oh my gosh, Noah, thank you!” he says.
The 58-year-old actor then gave his young fan a mini quiz, asking him if he’d seen Duke Caboom – the toy voiced by Reeves in Toy Story 4.
“Yeah, he’s my favourite character!” Noah replies.

Keanu’s kindness really stands out in how he talks to people, but what’s even more noticeable is his excitement. Fans have pointed out that the star of John Wick always seems just as thrilled to meet others as they are to meet him.
People often say that meeting your heroes can be a bad idea, but when it comes to Keanu, we believe it’s totally okay to ignore that advice.
