Keanu Reeves’ reaction to 9-year-old who says he’s his favorite actor is breaking hearts
If it wasn’t already abundantly clear, Keanu Reeves is a really, really good human being.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll have likely heard the stories and seen the videos. You’ll know that for all his megastar status, millions of dollars, and unbelievable fame, Reeves is a down to earth individual who has never considered himself above compassion and kindness.
It seems as though every few months Reeves does something new to remind us that he’s the gold standard when it comes to A-list celebrities putting others before themselves and generally behaving like they truly care about the general population.
Reeves, well known for his work on blockbuster films, has shown himself to also be adept where comic book writing is concerned of late. He co-created and co-wrote the series BRZRKR, the biggest single selling issue since Star Wars in 2015, alongside Matt Kindt.
At a recent book signing, a nine-year-old fan of the series approached Keanu to tell him that the Matrix star was his “favorite actor”. Keanu’s reaction?
Well, it’s as wholesome as you’d expect…
When your star shines as bright as Keanu Reeves‘s does, it’s safe to assume there are very few days when you don’t encounter someone or other who wants you to take a photo with them or sign an autograph.
Now, we can imagine that the rigmarole must get tiring sometimes – I mean, it’s only natural to assume that people wanting a piece of you all the time will wear you down – but one would never guess it from watching Keanu interact with his fans.
There have been multiple instances of the 58-year-old showcasing his huge heart and compassion over the years. Take, for example, the time he responded to a boy’s rapid-fire questions with kindness after a long flight. Or how about that time Sandra Bullock revealed that he had surprised her with champagne and truffles after she confided in him that she’d never tried them.
We could go on and on. The point is, Keanu Reeves is a genuinely good human being, so it should come as small surprise that he’s once again doing the rounds on the internet following an interaction with a nine-year-old fan.
As per reports, the young boy in question approached Reeves at a book signing, telling the actor “I’m such a big fan!”
In footage shared by IGN, Reeves can be heard asking the boy his name. When the nine-year-old says “Noah”, Keanu then introduces himself too (like there was any need).
“You’re probably my favourite actor in the whole world!” Noah says in the clip.
Keanu can then be seen wearing a beaming smile. “Oh my gosh, Noah, thank you!” he says.
The 58-year-old actor then gave his young fan a mini quiz, asking him if he’d seen Duke Caboom – the toy voiced by Reeves in Toy Story 4.
“Yeah, he’s my favourite character!” Noah replies.
It’s not just Keanu’s politeness that shows through in these interactions, but his sheer enthusiasm. Fans were quick to highlight the fact that the John Wick star always appears to be just as happy to interact with others as they are to interact with him.
They say you should never meet your idols, but we think it’s safe to disregard that advice where Keanu is concerned.

I Suspected My Husband Was Cheating on Me, but I Was Shocked When I Found out Everything at a Family Dinner — Story of the Day
My seemingly perfect marriage took a dark turn when I found a stranger’s earring in our bed. Convinced my husband was cheating, I uncovered secrets far worse than I first imagined, leading to a shocking revelation that turned my world upside down.
Ryan and I had enjoyed four happy years of marriage. He always supported me and cared for me. We resolved everything together, never leaving anyone feeling abandoned.

That is, until one day when everything changed. While cleaning our bedroom, I found something that definitely wasn’t mine — a single earring under the pillow. My ears aren’t pierced, so the only explanation was that my husband was cheating on me.
My heart raced as I stared at the tiny piece of jewelry in my hand. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I felt anger, hurt, and confusion. How could Ryan do this to me? I needed answers, and I needed them now.

Ryan was in the living room playing video games. I could hear the sounds of explosions and his excited shouts as he played. I clutched the earring tightly in my hand and marched into the living room, my mind racing with questions and accusations. I walked up and stood in front of the TV, blocking his view.
“Kelly, sweetheart, you’re blocking my game. I can’t see anything,” Ryan said, his eyes still glued to the screen.

I felt my anger rising. “Don’t you have something to tell me?” I asked, my voice shaking with frustration.
Ryan looked up at me, puzzled. “What do you mean? I’m afraid I need more specifics.”
“Alright,” I said, taking a deep breath. I held up the earring so he could see it clearly. “What is THIS doing in our bedroom?”
Ryan’s face went blank. He looked genuinely confused, as if he was searching for the right words. “I don’t know, I’ve never seen it before.”

“Really? Are you that inattentive to your lover? Or was your attention focused on something else?” I snapped, my anger boiling over.
“Lover? You think I’m cheating on you?” Ryan stood up from the couch, looking at me with wide eyes.
“What else am I supposed to think when I find an earring in our bed?” I demanded, my voice rising.
Ryan reached out and took my shoulders, looking me straight in the eyes. “Kelly, I love you, and I would never cheat on you.”

“You’re saying someone planted this earring?” I asked, still not convinced.
Ryan shook his head. “I don’t know where it came from. Maybe it’s your sister’s. She stayed at our place when we went on vacation, remember?”
I paused, thinking back to our trip. My younger sister, Jessica, had indeed stayed at our place to take care of the cat. “Pray it’s Jessica’s,” I muttered, heading back to the bedroom to get my phone.
I dialed Jessica’s number, and she answered almost immediately. “Hey, I was just about to call you,” she said.

“Why? Did something happen?” I asked, my heart pounding in my chest.
“I’ve been missing an earring for days. Did you guys find it by any chance? I think I might have left it at your place,” Jessica said, sounding hopeful.
I let out a shaky breath. “Y-yes, that’s why I called you.”
“Great! I thought I’d never find it,” she said with a laugh.

I forced a nervous laugh in return. “What?” Jessica asked, sensing something was off.
“Can you imagine, I almost thought Ryan was cheating on me,” I admitted, feeling a mix of relief and embarrassment.
“That’s awful! I can imagine how worried you were,” Jessica said sympathetically.
“Yeah, I’m really glad it turned out to be your earring,” I said, feeling a weight lift off my shoulders.

“I’ll swing by in a few days to pick it up,” Jessica said.
“Sure, sure, of course,” I replied, ending the call.
I went back to the living room where Ryan was waiting. “You were right; the earring is Jessica’s,” I said, feeling a rush of relief.
“See, I told you,” Ryan replied with a small smile.

I sat next to him on the couch and hugged him tightly. “I’m sorry for accusing you of cheating.”
“It’s okay, I understand how it looked,” Ryan said, holding me close.
“So, you’re not mad at me?” I asked, looking up at him.
“No, I would’ve thought the same if I were in your shoes,” Ryan said softly and kissed my forehead.

We sat there for a while, holding each other, and I promised myself to trust Ryan more and communicate better. After the earring incident, something in me shifted. I couldn’t shake the feeling that Ryan was hiding something from me.
Although the earring turned out to be Jessica’s, certain things still didn’t sit right with me. Ryan started coming home late from work more often. He was frequently texting someone, and he had more “business meetings” than ever before.
Every time I questioned him, he had a perfectly reasonable explanation, but it never felt right.

“Why don’t you trust me?” Ryan would ask, looking hurt.
“I don’t know,” I would reply, feeling torn. “It’s just a feeling.”
One day, my car broke down. I had to use Ryan’s car to run errands. On my way back home, my phone slipped under the seat when it rang. I parked at the nearest convenient spot to retrieve it, thinking it might be a work call.
As I reached under the seat, my fingers brushed against a small box. I pulled it out and found a pack of condoms. My heart sank. What a jerk! I thought. I knew they weren’t for us because I was on the pill. My intuition had been right all along; Ryan was indeed cheating on me.
Anger and betrayal surged through me. This time, I decided not to confront him directly. Instead, I wanted to make him face the consequences of his actions.

I took a brooch from my jacket and punctured the pack of condoms. Let him learn his lesson, I thought grimly.
Instead of going home, I went straight to my lawyer’s office. I arranged for him to start preparing divorce papers. I felt a strange sense of calm as I explained everything to the lawyer. I knew this was the right thing to do.
When I returned home, I acted calmly and sweetly, which Ryan seemed to like. He didn’t suspect a thing. Inside, I was seething, but I knew I had to play my part perfectly.
I was determined to take everything he had. Three months passed while my lawyer and I prepared everything for the divorce, ensuring it would be in my favor. During those three months, I was the perfect wife.

I cooked Ryan’s favorite meals, laughed at his jokes, and never questioned his late nights or secretive phone calls. Ryan seemed to enjoy my behavior, blissfully unaware of what was coming. He didn’t suspect a thing.
Finally, the day came for me to reveal Ryan’s infidelity in front of the entire family. It was my mother’s birthday, and both Ryan’s parents and my family were present. If only I had known what was coming.
Ryan and I arrived at my mother’s place and presented her with a gift. Jessica was there too, but I didn’t feel like talking to her. I still thought Ryan had cheated on me with her, and that the earring wasn’t just a coincidence.

My mother had divorced our father when Jessica and I were still in school. She never had any serious relationships afterward. Therefore, Ryan and his father took charge of the barbecue dinner.
I noticed my mother lingering around them, and I started thinking she might be trying to seduce Ryan’s father. But the truth was far worse than I had imagined.
Just before we all sat down to eat, my mother, who had always drunk wine, raised a glass of orange juice to make a toast. I found it odd, but I didn’t say anything.

“I’m so glad you’re all here because I have wonderful news!” my mother said, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “I’m pregnant!”
Everyone gasped and started congratulating her, except for Jessica and me, who remained seated with our mouths open. I glanced at Ryan standing off to the side, looking pale and nervous.
“But you’re 46!” Jessica exclaimed, her voice filled with shock.
“Love knows no age,” my mother replied with a smile.

Doubts began to creep into my mind. Maybe my mother wasn’t trying to seduce Ryan’s father. “Who’s the father?” I asked, my voice trembling.
“That’s not important. I’m just happy to have this baby, and that’s all that matters,” my mother said, avoiding my gaze.
“It’s Ryan, isn’t it?” I asked, my heart pounding.
Jessica looked at me, bewildered. “You mean your husband, Ryan?”

“Yes,” I said, my voice shaking. “Three months ago, I found condoms in Ryan’s car and punctured them. I thought he was sleeping with you, but now I’m almost sure he was with our mother.”
“What are you talking about?!” my mother exclaimed, her face turning red.
“Please, let’s skip the drama. Just tell me yes or no,” I said, feeling tears welling up in my eyes.
“I would never do that to you!” my mother shouted, her voice breaking.

I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. “I have divorce papers in my bag that will transfer almost everything Ryan owns to me. But if you tell me the truth, I might reconsider.”
“I’m telling you the truth!” my mother yelled, her hands shaking.
Ryan stepped forward, his face pale. “Yes, I cheated on you with your mother,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper.
“What are you doing?” my mother hissed at him, her eyes wide with fear.

“I can’t let her take everything I have!” Ryan shouted, his voice cracking.
“Well, perfect,” I said, pulling the divorce papers out of my bag and placing them on the table. “Sign these and give them to my lawyer,” I told Ryan, my voice cold and steady.
“So you’re not taking everything?” Ryan asked hopefully, his eyes pleading.
“I said I MIGHT reconsider, but I decided not to. This is exactly what you both deserve,” I said, standing up from the table.

I walked out of the house to the sound of Ryan and my mother yelling and cursing at me. I felt a mix of anger and relief as I stepped outside. Jessica chased after me, her face filled with concern.
“You really thought it was me?” she asked, her voice soft.
“If it weren’t for your earring, I wouldn’t have started suspecting him in the first place,” I replied, feeling a wave of sadness wash over me.
We both left the house, never to return. I felt a strange sense of closure as we walked away, leaving behind the betrayal and lies. It was time to start a new chapter, one where I could finally find peace.
