"The people here are very nice and generous. It’s really cool that they like John Wick here," Keanu Reeves said.
Keanu Reeves is popular in Brazil. The 58-year-old made a special appearance at the Comic Con Experience (CCXP) in Brazil, and everyone in attendance could tell. The audience erupted in clapping and cheers whenever the Matrix and John Wick star appeared on stage, spoke, or did anything else.
Keanu has always been extremely grateful for his fans, and he's visibly always in the news for doing extremely adorable things for his fans. He was evidently moved by the affectionate response and sank to his knees, bowing to the crowd, according to footage now viral on social media. Someone in the audience could be heard screaming "I love you" to the Matrix star at one point. Keanu later stated that he couldn't believe the crowd's reaction. “It was very special," he told Estadão, adding, "The people here are very nice and generous. It’s really cool that they like John Wick here. I really appreciate it. CCXP is legendary, but it went beyond what I imagined."
According to UNILAD, Keanu said during a panel that the fourth installment of the John Wick franchise was difficult to watch. "John Wick 4 is the hardest movie I've ever made. In terms of action, it's the hardest film I've ever made. But that's what makes it good."
He explained that one of the more difficult scenes was a battle scene "in traffic" that took place around the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Wick's opponents would appear from every corner of the globe, according to the actor. "The table is this world above the world; and the people, the assassins, under the table are as boundless as the grains of sand on the beach," he said. "So there [are] a lot of people coming after John Wick. But really, for the John Wick film[s], it's really just the invention of the scene, right? How can you do these scenes?"
Reeves has been through enough and more pain in his 57 years. He's known to be one of the most giving guys in the profession, having always contributed large sums to people and causes, and it appears that this is his purpose now. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Keanu Reaves is worth around $380 million, but he's embarrassed by it, according to a close acquaintance who told Page Six. “Keanu’s given away a lot of money and done a lot more for people than most will ever know,” said the family friend.
“Keanu’s infamous for his generosity,” a Hollywood producer told Page Six. After learning that a Matrix set builder was suffering financial difficulties, the actor gave him a $20,000 gratuity. Reeves also gave each of The Matrix Reloaded's 12 stuntmen a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, which is one of his personal favorites. Also, for John Wick 4, Reeves handed the stuntmen Rolex Submariner watches. It also has personalized inscriptions on the reverse!
