We don’t have an opportunity to see celebrities very often. When we do, it is typically on social media but we don’t see them doing nice things for random strangers unless there is something behind it that benefits them.
That is not the case for every Hollywood celebrity, and Keanu Reeves has been proving it over and over again. He does things for people so often just out of the kindness of his heart that he has been dubbed the nicest guy in Hollywood.
He did it yet again, stopping an opportunity to be with many of his fans in order to play a game of catch with a 9-year-old fan. That fan, Elijah, was with his grandmother and his brother, Caleb when they went out to meet the celebrity.
As it turns out, meeting celebrities is somewhat of a hobby for the grandmother. She said that she has met over 100 stars up until now, including some that were very famous.
When they set out on this particular day, however, they felt that they were going to be successful in their search. That is when they bumped into Keanu Reeves, and it was more than they could’ve hoped for.
When Elijah went up to the star and asked him if he would play a game of catch, he was really nervous because he didn’t know what the star would say. In fact, he kind of mumbled and he had to ask again, and that is when he heard the words that he wanted to hear: “Yeah come on, let’s go.”
For 30 seconds, he tossed a football back and forth with one of the most famous actors in existence today. He considers it to be one of the top moments of his life and in the end, he even got complimented on his throwing abilities.
Caleb, Elijah’s brother was also able to grab a memory that day because he got a selfie with Keanu Reeves. Even the grandmother feels that it is a day that they will always remember.
This isn’t the first time that the nicest guy in Hollywood has done something like this. He is often caught doing kind things and who knows how often he might do them without somebody seeing.
One of the things that he is known for is his unique way of hugging those who meet him. One of his fans saw it and couldn’t help but post it on Twitter.
You can see his hand hovering when he has it around people, even famous people, including Dolly Parton.
This is more than just a respectful gesture, he has said in the past that he is concerned about any negative energy transferring back to him, so he doesn’t take any chances.
In any case, it’s just another signature of his that makes us appreciate him even more.
