- What would you say is the biggest misconception that people have about Keanu Reeves?

- That I’m sad all the time.

Happy Birthday, KEANU CHARLES REEVES (September 2nd 1964)

When I ask what gives him an ego boost, given that he’s not driven by money or fame, he is so baffled by the idea of his ego needing a boost that he is silent for a full 28 seconds before finally answering, “The work.” [Hadley Freeman, The Guardian]

Always remember this:

“I’m the only cast member who had their own unique experience of that franchise based on their race. Let’s just leave it like that. It makes you angry with a process like that. It makes you much more militant; it changes you. Because you realise, ‘I got given this opportunity but I’m in an industry that wasn’t even ready for me.’ Nobody else in the cast had people saying they were going to boycott the movie because [they were in it]. Nobody else had the uproar and death threats sent to their Instagram DMs and social media, saying, ‘Black this and black that and you shouldn’t be a Stormtrooper.’ Nobody else had that experience. But yet people are surprised that I’m this way. That’s my frustration.”

As a superhero you need help once in a while, so you put up an ad for sidekicks. The next day, the minion of your arch nemisis shows up asking for a job.

You try out a time machine, but you end up near a famous assassination, ending up saving the life of the intended victim by taking the bullet.
