Early Life and Education:

The unforgettable Matrix actor, Keanu Charles Reeves, was born on September 2, 1964, in Beirut, Lebanon, to an English mother and Hawaiian-American father.

Sadly, the father abandoned the 3-year-old Keanu and his mother. Since then, Keanu and his mother haven’t been stable. They moved constantly while the mother remarried again and again. The constant moving took Keanu to Sydney, Australia, and NYC, after which they permanently shifted to Toronto.

Fun fact: The name Keanu means Cool Breeze. Having a Hawaiian origin given by the father and his Hawaiian background.

Keanu attended 4 high schools where his profound skill bloomed as a hockey player. He began dreaming of becoming a professional hockey player. However, life hit a slight curve when Keanu struggled with dyslexia, which made academics difficult for him. It was when he performed in a school play of, Romeo and Juliet. It was then that he discovered his passion for performance and dropped out to pursue his acting career.

Career: 

Starting with minor appearances on Canadian television, commercials, and stage performances, Reeves made his feature film debut in 1986 with Youngblood. He went on to have several co-starring parts, including a larger one in the highly praised River’s Edge.

He was then featured in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, whose box office success was unexpected. The movie grossed more than 40 million dollars domestically. This, albeit unexpected, was exactly what led Keanu up the ladder in the industry, and he was soon on the way to more hits. 

Reeves went on to star in several mainstream and independent films, including the drama Point Break and the indie cult classic My Own Private Idaho.

His success peaked with the 1994 action film Speed, which earned 2 Academy awards and gross revenue of 350 million dollars internationally and domestically.

His popularity reached its apex with the release of The Matrix, in which his character Neo was loved by millions and earned a whopping 1.6 billion dollars. 

John Wick Series: Remarkable Achievement

Reeves secured an integral part as the title character in the action film “John Wick” in 2014, in which he played a former hitman. The films were both highly praised and box office hits. He went on to reprise his part in two more films. 

His John Wick film franchise has grossed over $500 million at the box office. After adjusting for inflation, Keanu’s films have grossed more than $4.6 billion at the global box office as of this writing.

To add more sweetness to the already succulent success, Glasgow, Scotland, hosted KeanuCon, basically a Keanu Reeve film festival that featured nine of the most famous films in 2019.

Source Of Income:

To simply answer the question, where does Keanu get all his money/compensation from?

The answer remains within the confines of his most famous and most-watched sci-fi film to date. The Matrix Trilogy.

Personal Life:

We can break this aspect of Keanu Reeves into 3 parts. The Tragedy, the Silence, Re-Igniting, and Spirituality

Tragedy encircled the sad love story of Keanu and Jennifer Syme throughout the 90s. The story involved many sad parts, including their stillborn child and the heartbreaking demise of Syme in a car accident.

The silence was when Keanu had sealed lips about his love life but had ties with some people like China Chow and Brenda Davis for a while.

Then, love was recognized when he went public with his relationship with Alexandra Grant.

The last bit involves his spiritual beliefs. Sources say that he is primarily non-religious but has an interest in Buddhism and claimed himself to be quite spiritual in this regard.

Controversies:

In recent times, Keanu Reeves was involved in a couple of controversies. One was about The Matrix movie ban in China for alleged involvement in a Tibet Benefit concert, as at the time, Tibet was quite a sensitive issue for China. 

The second involves actor Matthew Perry removing Keanu’s name from his memoir after he made a controversial comment while addressing and recalling the memories of his friend.

He quoted, “River was a beautiful man, inside and out – too beautiful for this world, it turned out. It always seems to be the talented guys who go down. Why is it that the original thinkers like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger die, but Keanu Reeves still walks among us?” Perry wrote in his memoir.

The last comment caused a massive backlash, which then led to him vowing to never include Keanu’s name ever again.

“I said a stupid thing. It was a mean thing to do. I pulled his name because I live on the same street,” Perry said during the panel, additionally “any future versions of the book will not have his name in it.”
