Hollywood can bring you many talented and elegant handsome men, but there will certainly not be many special stars like Keanu Reeves.
Referring to Keanu Reeves, it is easy to name the monumental achievement table of the illustrious Hollywood box office star. The films in which the actor participates have a total revenue of billions of dollars that make many people dream of such as The Matrix Series, 3 John Wick films, Speed, Constantine, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Bram Stoker’s Dracula…

And of course, it’s easy to envy that man’s success. But behind the glittering colors, those bright auras were a piece of cold loneliness.
Because the loneliest star in Hollywood…
Father and mother Keanu Reeves met on a beach in Beirut in 1960. Keanu Reeves’ father is a Hawaiian of Chinese descent, and his mother is Patricia – a woman from England. After Keanu Reeves was born, the whole family moved to Australia to live.
After his father left, Reeves and his siblings were taken to New York by their mother and eventually chose to live in Toronto, where she worked as a costume designer. Keanu Reeves’ first job to earn money was picking up pins and cleaning the sewing factory on weekends.
“Many people know me but don’t know my life story. When I was 3 years old, I witnessed my father leave. I transferred to 4 high schools and faced dyslexia. That makes my academic career even more challenging. I ended up leaving high school without a diploma in my hand,” Keanu Reeves said of his early years.
Keanu Reeves admits that he has almost no connection with his biological father, but his stepfather – Paul Aaron, Patricia’s second husband, played an important role in influencing the actor’s arrival in the movie.
At the age of 15, Keanu Reeves became a job runner for a film crew, where he began to get acquainted with professional concepts such as actors, techniques, radios, generators, lighting, etc.
Before becoming the great star he is today, Keanu Reeves worked as a studio employee in a real way.
Going back to the story of Keanu Reeve’s youth, he decided to enter an art school in Toronto but was then dropped out after just one year. The reason, of course, is not because Keanu Reeve is an individual student is simply “my perspective on art is different from what they teach”.
At the age of 20, Reeves left Toronto and drove to Hollywood alone, starting to rush into auditions. And Keanu Reeves’ perseverance has paid off.
Keanu Reeves had a brilliant career, but away from the camera, the actor had to go through a series of personal tragedies. Throughout his glittering film career, the actor has witnessed his loved ones and close friends die under horrific circumstances, including drug overdoses.
