The Little Guide to Keanu Reeves: The Nicest Guy in Hollywood

by Oh

Why we're all crazy about Keanu When even your name is beautiful (Keanu means "cool breeze over the mountains"), it's no surprise that Keanu Reeves was destined to become one of world's biggest and most enduring film stars. Bursting onto our screens in eighties in River's Edge and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure , his run of smash hits continued through the next decade with Point Break , Much Ado About Nothing , Speed , and his groundbreaking role as Neo in The Matrix . Then, in 2014, his sensational comeback in the John Wick films catapulted him right back to the top of the Hollywood A-list. No stranger to tragedy in his personal life - his baby was stillborn and his partner died in a car accident two years later - Keanu is as famous for his kindness, wisdom and philanthropy as he is for his film career. He has secretly donated large sums to children's hospitals, given generous gifts to crew members on set and made headlines for his kindness to fans. Join us in a celebration of the man widely known as "the Internet's boyfriend". "If you can make a woman laugh, you're seeing the most beautiful thing on God's earth." - Keanu Reeves on women Born in Lebanon and raised in Australia, the USA and Canada, Reeves is of Chinese, English, Irish, Hawaiian and Portuguese descent. (But he's Canadian, OK?)

Cute little book about my favourite actor, which I enjoyed reading. It’s got a good range of quotes over his career and published in 2023. I like it has a mix of character and Keanu quotes, but I’m sure the author could have quoted from more publications, and the same articles were repeated a number of times. But the articles were from different countries, which was impressive.

Did I learn anything I didn’t know? No.

Did I spot a mistake? Yes. Keanu Reeves’ daughter’s name was cited incorrectly. I mean, get that right!!

I liked the breadth of the book - and it gives an overall impression of such a lovely person.

My copy of the book, although found with the barcode is “The Little Guide to Keanu Reeves, unofficial and unauthorised. Quotes. Lots of Quotes”

Giving it 5 stars for what it is - a wonderful little book of quotes.

I mean, what self-respecting Shannontologist is gonna give a book of Keanu quotes anything less than 5 stars?!!
