Keanu Reeves has ‘no problem’ being the ‘internet’s boyfriend’ and appreciates ‘goodwill’ behind it

Keanu Reeves jokes about how obsessed his fans are with him.

At Wednesday’s New York City premiere of John Wick: Chapter 4, the 58-year-old actor said he appreciates the sentiment.

“I really appreciate the goodwill,” he said. People when asked how he feels about the internet’s love for him.

And it’s not just the internet swooning over the charm of the Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure actor.

Keanu’s John Wick 4 co-star Rina Sawayama paid a visit to Good Morning America on Wednesday morning to talk about her new movie.

During her interview, she opened up about how much she admired her co-star Reeves.

“She was so sweet…she’s not a very flashy person,” the Japanese/British singer began.

“He does a lot of things behind the scenes to make sure everyone feels good. So kind.’

In fact, the Point Break star is so universally loved that a fan recently proposed to her.

The proposal occurred during an onstage Q&A after the premiere of John Wick: Chapter 4 at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas.

According VarietyReeves was sharing with the audience how he kept his character’s watch and wedding ring as keepsakes, which led to the outburst of a potential fiancée.

‘I will marry you!’ the fan declared, prompting an amused response from Keanu: “Yeah, be careful what you wish for.”

Had Reeves accepted the proposal, it would have been his first marriage since the action star has never been married.

Last month, the Speed ​​actor had to deal with an overzealous fan of a different nature.

The actor has been granted a temporary restraining order against an alleged stalker who trespassed on his property numerous times in a bizarre attempt to prove they are related.

The Constantine star’s lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, appeared in court to seek protection for Reeves and his partner Alexandra Grant from Bryan Dixon, 38, a bystander who “has been harassing them for months”.

Keanu hired a security firm to investigate Dixon after he constantly showed up at his home, with security footage showing Dixon breaking in six times between November 5 and January 20.

Dixon allegedly entered through a side door and fell asleep in the home’s backyard on November 5, before being thrown out. Security footage shows him peering over walls, smoking in the garden and walking on an outdoor terrace.

He then returned the next morning, leaving a ‘suspicious and alarming’ backpack on the property, which included a DNA test kit ‘apparently intended for use on Mr Reeves in a delusional attempt to prove they are blood related’. .

Keanu’s team also claims that Dixon has been posting disturbing messages on social media calling himself ‘Jasper Keith Reeves’ and wants to put Keanu ‘in charge’ of him and assign his personal ‘rights’ to the actor.

They added that Dixon is not known to the actor. The temporary restraining order granted prevents Dixon from coming within 100 yards of Keanu and Alexandra. It is understood that the police are now involved.
