We all know and love Keanu Reeves for his iconic roles in action-packed movies. But did you know that this Hollywood star has a soft spot for cars too? From the sleek Porsche 911 to the muscle cars in John Wick, Keanu’s taste in rides is top-notch. But where did it all begin?

Keanu’s First Ride

When Keanu was just a teenager, he bought himself a 1960s British Racing Green Volvo 122. He affectionately nicknamed it “Dumpy” and, according to Porsche’s official website, even had to use bricks to keep the seats in place!

A Closer Look at the Volvo 122


The Volvo 122 was produced from 1956 to 1970.

This classic Volvo was powered by a 1.7-liter four-cylinder engine that could push it to a top speed of around 92 mph. It was a far cry from the high-performance machines Keanu is known for today. But hey, we’ve all started somewhere, right?


This car was powered by a 1.7 L I4 engine.

It’s funny to think that one of Hollywood’s biggest stars once cruised around in a beat-up old Volvo. It just goes to show that even the most famous people have humble beginnings.
