Keanu Reeves was on my flight from London to NYC today. A young boy asked for an autograph at baggage & then began to fire off a series of rapid-fire questions. Keanu happily responded to every single one…

By this time the kid was running out of questions, so Keanu started grilling him 🤣 Why were you in Europe? What galleries did you go to in Paris? What was your favorite?

The man could not have been nicer, especially after an international flight. I thought I’d share this because the dude is a class act and little moments like this can make such a big difference in people’s lives. We need more Keanus!

He’s just a really nice person. And given how he grew up, he had every excuse not to be.

I was hoping the kid started with "pop quiz, hot shot", but this is still nice.

Although Keanu himself is reputed to be an incredibly awesome human, I confess to a massive crush on Jack Traven, the character he played in "Speed". It's no wonder Sandra Bullock was smitten.

A good human being, and a reminder that there are good people in this world.
