born keanu charles reeves, on the 2nd of september, 1964..in beirut, lebanon..his name is pronounced 'kay-ah-noo'..his name basically means ' cool breeze over the mountain'..keanu reeves has two nationalities- us and canada but entitled to a british citizenship by having an english mother....his father a mix of chinese, hawaiian, portuguese and english descent..i guess that is why he have one of the most striking features(for me) in hollywood..he has a little bit of everything..
our(my cousins and i) namesake for him- hubba hubba hunka..meaning- really really hot guy..he was, still is and will always be the ultimate hubba hubba hunka for me..
some people say he cannot act...but i say he can...some say he's gay but i say, that's his prerogative..
whatever people say about him- i still say, he's my favourite actor of all time..no academy awards..not even a nomination for best actor but for me- he is the best...well, maybe because he's good looking..but that isn't all there is to him...his private life had always been kept a private..he's really really close to his family especially to his sister (who passed away some years ago)..he treated each job seriously, gave everything to make the movie work, never had complaints about him being a 'diva/divo'..
i think if colin farell even had a quarter of his work ethics, colin could be sensational..(heheheh-no offense to colin's fan)..
what made him so enigmatic is- he's not that educated, he never earned his high school diploma (i guess not because he doesn't have the brain but he just completely gave his full attention to his acting job)yet, he carries around an aura- aura of an extremely deep thinking man, an aura of wisdom..even back then, when he was portraying the goofiness of his character in bill and ted's excellent adventure..
perhaps that is why, even if only certain of his movies became huge hit- he stayed on as one of the A-list actors in hollywood even today..he could still command a good 10-20millions a movie..for someone whom people said couldn't act- they sure does pay him a lot to appear in their movie..because of his good looks..????it's not as if hollywood doesn't have her fair share of good looking, younger actors..i say- it's becaus,e he's keanu reeves...the one and only..the enigmatic keanu reeves....mr hubba hubba hunka of hollywood...
