Keanu Reeves is a Canadian actor, producer, and director who has gained worldwide recognition for his roles in both blockbuster action franchises and acclaimed independent films. Known for his intense commitment to his roles, his humility, and his low-key personal life, Reeves has become a beloved figure in Hollywood. He has earned a reputation for his versatility, playing a wide range of characters in various genres, from science fiction and action to drama and romance.
Keanu Charles Reeves was born on September 2, 1964, in Beirut, Lebanon, to a British mother, Patricia Taylor, and a Hawaiian father of Chinese-Hawaiian descent, Samuel Nowlin Reeves, Jr. Reeves’ family moved frequently during his early years, as his mother worked as a costume designer and his father was largely absent from his life. They lived in various cities, including New York and Toronto, where they eventually settled when Reeves was a teenager.
Reeves attended high school at De La Salle College in Toronto, but he was not particularly interested in academics. Instead, he found his passion in the arts, particularly acting. At the age of 15, Reeves made his stage debut in a school production of “Damn Yankees”. By the time he was 17, he dropped out of high school to pursue acting full-time.
Reeves’ first significant role came in 1986 when he appeared in the television series “Hangin’ In.” He followed this with a role in the teen drama “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure” (1989), where he played Ted Logan, a fun-loving, time-traveling teenager. The film was a surprise hit and became a cult classic, establishing Reeves as a rising star. The success of the film led to its sequel, “Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey” (1991), solidifying Reeves’ place in Hollywood.
