Instances That Prove That Keanu Reeves Is More Human Than Any Of Us

Keanu’s full name is Keanu Charles Reeves and he was born on 2 September 1964 in Beirut, Lebanon. Keanu means "cool breeze over the mountains" in Hawaiian and just as his first name he is considered to be the most chilled out and humble guy there is.

After the Sad Keanu meme rose to fame in 2010, people had a weird conception that Keanu, for some reason, was sad, and not as full of life as he used to be. A Facebook group was created for the event and the following was decided by the admins/community: On June 15th, we plan on sending letters, emails, gifts, and any other niceties and kind words to a real bro, Keanu Reeves... 

People empathising with his un-maskable sadness decided to donate for cancer research charity in the name of Cheer Up Keanu Day. 

Maybe the unfortunate turn of events in his life made him more empathetic towards people, or he is just the kindest human being in general, helping people and making their days with much needed conversations is a part of his daily life.
