Keanu Reeves is once again proving why he’s the nicest man in Hollywood.
Whether he’s being honored as a “Respectful King” for not touching fans in photos, being praised for having an “age-appropriate” girlfriend, or surprising his fans with adorable phone calls – Keanu is always ready to put a smile on our faces.
Now, the 58-year-old Matrix star is once again going viral on social media following a heartwarming interaction he had with a young fan during a recent signing in Los Angeles.
In the clip posted to social media on Tuesday, Reeves can be seen talking with nine-year-old Noah as the actor prepares to sign a copy of his comic book, BRZRKR – which is co-written by Reeves and Matt Kindt.
Overjoyed to see Reeves in person, Noah tells the Constantine star: “Iβm such a big fan!”
Check out the video below:
βI don't want to be a part of a world where being kind is a weakness.β
Love this. The world needs more people like Keanu.

“You’re probably my favorite actor in the whole world,” Noah adds, as we all collectively hope he’s never watched a John Wick movie.
Reeves being the absolute legend that he is replies: “Oh my gosh, Noah, thank you!”
He then sparks a conversation with young Noah, asking the boy if he saw him as the daredevil toy Duke Caboom in Toy Story 4 (2019).
Noah then starts to laugh, replying: “Yeah, heβs my favorite character.”
In an effort to make the little boy’s day, Reeves then briefly launches into his Duke Caboom persona, proclaiming his catchphrase: “Canadaβs greatest stuntman!”
“Iβm glad you liked it,” Reeves told Noah. “I really liked playing Duke Caboom.”
The video has amassed millions of views on Twitter, with Reeves fans flooding the post with praise for the star.
One person wrote: “Just the respect in saying .. ‘Hi Noah my name is Keanu’ (never assuming his own celebrity status or his importance) putting himself on the level of just meeting someone by name and not making it about this kid meeting him.”
A second added: “For the last few years kindness, care and humanity are the least appreciated traits. The world needs more Keanu, this way the beauty o of humanity gets preserved.”

And others were quick to share their favorite memories of the star, such as one fan who tweeted: “I met Keanu in ’95 when he toured w/ his band Dogstar here in New Orleans. My then-girlfriend somehow got us backstage in the dive bar they played at after the show, we hung out, drank some beers, and chilled for a bit. He’s an absolute gem of a human being and such a nice guy.”
“The famous actor met in a hotel bar in Northamptonshire with a young couple. They invited him to the wedding, and Keanu Reeves could not refuse,” one fan also shared.
It just goes to show that we all need to be more like Keanu.
