Celebrities are like those shining Stars who have no urgency to go to the black Hole any time sooner. If I point my own country India ” here celebs were treated next to Gods and therefore their pride surpassed the love of their fans and ultimately, those fans flung them down into the ground just like Lucifer into hell.

Is it that hard to be humble, kindhearted, loving, and still rule the hearts of millions of people? It might sound difficult but it ain’t impossible. The best example of such Tenderness is the “John Wick “Actor Keanu Reeves. Personally, I have been a fan of Keanu Reeves since I saw his performance in the movie, Sweet November in my fifth Grade.

Keanu Reeves is 54 and had 35 years of a long and successful career in the Hollywood film Industry. He is still unmarried but it was not always like that until he lost his fiance, his best friend, and child in a tragic accident a long time back.

I tried to know more and more about him, and whatever I saw, heard, and read made me think ” God, can people be this Good at such a trending level?”. Keanu Reeves has a very Glowing face; people say he is so consistent with his looks that he can never grow old.

Why Keanu Reeves is too good to be true?

But that glow probably comes due to his inner satisfaction and the thousands of good wishes that he receives from his fans and followers. You might ask why? His contributions to helping the needful are in abundance. He has secretly been donating a huge sum of money every year to a lot of patients suffering from Cancer and Leukemia and related hospitals. He has a weakness for children and has been secretly running foundations for poor unprivileged children for more than 8 years. He never revealed it in any of his interviews, promotional videos, etc. Unlike the B-town Celebs who have a habit of reminding people about their monetary contributions “very proudly” in Twitter and Parliament.

There are countless situations in which Keanu Reeves has personally stood and supported his fans whenever and wherever he can. A beautiful incident in which a fan cheers Reeves ” You are Breathtaking ” to which he replied, “You all are breathtaking”. There are several notes in which he respects the space of people and never forcefully touches his Fans.

While in India we see the actors always traveling by expensive cars and then we see Keanu Reeves, who travels by subway metro and often gives up his own seat for someone who is more in need of the seat.

Another incident shares the story of Keanu Reeves, going to a fan’s house with ice cream because the fan couldn’t receive his autograph in time.

“2 minutes later there’s a knock on the door behind me that leads into the box office,” Dator tweeted. “I assume it’s my manager. It’s Keanu.”.

“‘I realized you probably wanted my autograph,’” Dator remembers the star telling him. “‘So I signed this.’

Now, this is called a wonderful and sweetest gesture. We cannot imagine something of this sort in India. Now I agree that in India, people are a bit more loving and forget to understand the private space of the celebs but that doesn’t mean that they are to be treated like Trash by the stars.
