Keanu Reeves continues to increase his fanbase as time passes by. Along with his talents and skills, people appear to have idolized him because of his impressive character. Some individuals even refer to him as the "nicest guy in the world."
However, the John Wick actor does not seemingly like to receive compliments from the public. Cheat Sheet reported an event wherein Reeves felt "uncomfortable" when an interviewer threw praises at him. Moreover, he felt the same when people started to talk about his good deeds.
This became publicly apparent in an interview with Geek Bomb. When the host was trying to confirm the "nicest guy" title with him, the Matrix star said that it is "ridiculous," adding that he is not the nicest guy in the world.
The better part of the interview showed him feeling embarrassed as the host continued asking about his "good deeds." Despite the insistence, Keanu Reeves kept changing the topic, showing how much he does not prefer to talk about it.
In the end, though, the actor said that it was all "nice to hear." However, he still tried to dismiss the assertions and called them all "untrue."
Alongside steering away from the conversations about his good deeds, Keanu Reeves, also, wanted the public to "focus" on his acting work. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, he dismissed the thought of people taking him as a model.
He explained that he does not think of himself as a "role model." But, he hopes that his impact has always been "positive," whether via entertainment or social media.
The publication, then, pointed out that Reeves has played lots of characters on screen. However, there is only one act that he would not play, and that is a "man comfortable accepting compliments."
Amid all the talks about his good deeds, Insider released a list of all the things he has done, making him the "greatest person ever." These include the most popular and shocking efforts he did for his fans and co-workers, as well as the other small gestures that have impacted the lives of others.
Included in the list is the beginning of Keanu Reeves' newfound title, "Internet Boyfriend." This came after netizens praised the actor for his "respectful" actions toward women in photos.
Instead of touching them on their backs and arms, he always chooses to hover his hands. Whether they are television personalities or fans, the Speed star's deeds do not differ.
