Following his recent airport meeting with a little admirer, actor Keanu Reeves has been branded the internet’s prince. Reeves and a child had a pleasant encounter that TV producer Andrew Kimmel witnessed and tweeted about. It’s likely to make you like the John Wick actor even more.
It all started at the airport baggage claim area when a little fan approached Reeves and requested him to sign his autograph. But he did not stop then; he continued to grill the actor with a barrage of “rapid-fire” questions.
Reeves did not only ignore his questions; he answered them all. It was not until the youngster had exhausted all of his inquiries that Reeves began “grilling” him about his vacation.

Using the discussion as evidence, Kimmel showed that Keanu Reeves is one of the nicest people in show biz.
Keanu Reeves was on my flight from London to NYC today. A young boy asked for an autograph at baggage & then began to fire off a series of rapid-fire questions. Keanu happily responded to every single one… pic.twitter.com/T7m7PciL5C

Hollywood good guy Keanu Reeves just did something kind for someone else.
Kid: Why were you in London?
KR: Filming a documentary.
Kid: I saw online you were at the Grand Prix (pronouncing the x)
KR: Yes, the Grand Prix (in a French accent, without correcting him). F1! Race cars!
Kid: Do you drive?
KR: Not F1, but I like riding motorcycles.

Kimmel tweeted about how the A-lister reacted when a toddler approached him and began asking questions.
Kid: What broadway show?
KR: American Buffalo! Mamet!Kid: Where are you staying in NY?
KR: Midtown!By this time the kid was running out of questions, so Keanu started grilling him 🤣 Why were you in Europe? What galleries did you go to in Paris? What was your favorite?

The youngster persisted in peppering Reeves with inquiries… until Reeves ran out of things to ask. Afterward, Reeves began interrogating him about his vacation.
The man could not have been nicer, especially after an international flight. I thought I’d share this because the dude is a class act and little moments like this can make such a big difference in people’s lives. We need more Keanus!

Even at the airport, Reeves showed his natural kindness.
And yes, I geeked out a little and asked for a photo. I mean… had to. Have a happy 4th everyone! pic.twitter.com/JVR5VTPQHz
