Keanu Reeves is recognized as being one of the nicest people in Hollywood today. It seems as if he is always doing something kind for others, and he does it without any fanfare or without expecting anything in return.
Perhaps you can think about something you’ve heard about Keanu Reeves that tells you how special he is. You might think about him tossing football with a younger fan or perhaps sharing with people that he doesn’t know for no reason whatsoever.
When you stop to think about it, Keanu has been a part of our lives for many years. He has been in one movie after another for more than 25 years and he never allowed it to get the best of him.
When he was first getting his start, he appeared with Sandra Bullock in the movie from 1994, Speed. Recently, Bullock came out to talk about the experience she had with Keanu when she first met him.
We didn’t really need anyone to come forward and tell us what kind of a standup person Keanu is. When she talked about what happened shortly after the release of the movie, however, it touched our hearts.
Bullock said that about one year after Speed was released, she had a conversation with Reeves about champagne and truffles. She had never tried them, and after the conversation, she didn’t give it much thought.
Not long after, however, Keanu showed up with a box for her. He was riding a motorcycle and as you can imagine, he had flowers, champagne, and truffles. He said that he thought she might just want to try them and see what they were like.
At the time, Bullock was having her nails done with a friend and they split the champagne with Keanu but he had to leave to go on a date.
She admitted that at first, she would talk a lot when they were together to fill the silence, thinking that he was offended because he was quiet. After a couple of days, however, he would arrive with a package or note and say that he thought about what they said.
Bullock admits that Keanu is the type of person who is friends with every woman he ever dated. She said that maybe they could have survived if they were a couple, but they didn’t have to survive anything. They just grew as friends and eventually said their goodbyes and met for dinner to work together.
It’s just one more reason why we love Keanu so much.
