Keanu Reeves



He was born on 2nd of September 1964 in Beirut, Lebanon. He’s a Canadian actor. His mother is British and his dad is American, Chineese and Hawaian’s origin. Keanu was interested in being an actor and being a hockey player, but (thanks God) he chose acting. When he was 17 he left school and stated learning stage-playing. In 1986 he played his first bigger role in “Youngblood” and thanks to that a lot of movie makers started being interested in a young actor. The role which gave Keanu big popularity was a character in a movie titled “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure” played by him in 1989. In 1994 he played Jack Traven in “Speed” and that role made him one of the best earning actors in Hollywood (the film earned 121 mln $). After “Speed”, in 1997 he played Kevin Lomax in “The Devil’s Advocate” together with Al Pacino. Two years later Reeves made a character of Neo in “Matrix” and thanks to it he became one of the best known actors in the whole world. For the role in “Matrix” he earned 100 mln $.

Keanu Reeves loves the music so much that he’s got his own band named “Dogstar”. Because of it he rejected the role in the second part of “Speed” – he had his concerts that time.
