2019 can be considered the year of Keanu Reeves. The door to joining the Marvel universe is still open for the 54-year-old actor, but this could become a new turning point in his career.
There was a long time when fans could not help but feel heartbroken when reading news about the eventful life of Keanu Reeves – Hollywood’s top action superstar.
The life of this famous actor is filled with many interesting stories, some sad, some happy, but all extremely simple and not at all like that of a big star.
That is what makes Keanu Reeves more special than any other A-list star and what has kept him in the hearts of fans for over 20 years. Whether it is 1990 or 2019, people still affectionately call him “the actor no one can help but love”.
However, it’s time for the public to prepare to welcome a completely new Keanu Reeves, as NSS magazine recently called it, a “reborn Keanu Reeves”.

Meanwhile, the star has expressed his desire to play the famous Wolverine, the mutant character that has been associated with Hugh Jackman for 17 years.
Just like John Wick in the series of the same name, Keanu Reeves is being “hunted” by the entire entertainment industry and Marvel Studio President Kevin Feige is not out of the picture. Marvel affirms that they love Keanu Reeves the same way millions of viewers have loved him over the years.
“We talk to him about every movie we do. I’m not sure when Keanu will officially join the MCU, but we will do everything we can to get him,” Feige shared with Insider .

Keanu Reeves is not all sadness

The actor has gradually opened up to the public through sincere sharing on TV shows and interviews.

Despite experiencing many tragedies in the past, with a face full of worries, the 54-year-old actor is actually a very optimistic and positive person.
In fact, up to now, the press has not had many opportunities to exploit this actor. Because his private life is like a closed box, and the key has been carefully hidden by him for many years.
GQ ‘s interviewer once commented: “In some extraordinary way, Keanu Reeves has always maintained a quiet, mysterious and completely discreet image even though he has been an A-list star for decades.”
People often only know about the actor through his roles, along with his tragic past. The story of Keanu Reeves’ tragic and lonely life has been retold over the past ten years in international newspapers. The pain of losing three of Keanu Reeves’ most beloved people still haunts him no matter how many years have passed. Through that, fans can always feel that sadness in Reeves’ eyes.
In 2010, a photo of Keanu Reeves went viral, showing him sitting alone on a park bench eating a sandwich, looking sad and lonely. However, the actor proved otherwise by saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words, but sometimes words mean nothing.” He insists that he is actually a happy person.
But perhaps it’s time to remember him in a different light. After all, sadness is never something anyone wants to be remembered for. And maybe Keanu Reeves is the same. More than anyone else, he was the one who rose from tragedy.

“I don’t want to run away from life because I understand its beauty. I still want to get married, have children and I will do it at all costs. Sometimes, destruction also has the meaning of rebirth,” Keanu Reeves once shared when asked about past tragedies.
So why do his fans still call him “sad Keanu”?
Even in his most desperate moments, Keanu Reeves always told himself: “Every difficulty in life helps you grow. Be grateful for those dark times because thanks to them you will become stronger.”
In fact, he has more than just sadness to tell and they deserve to be remembered by the public. Therefore, instead of forever sympathizing with Reeves’ life, many people choose to “make him happier”, or at least join him in making life more fun.
According to Time magazine , more than 200,000 people have called on Reddit to make June 15th “Cheer Up Keanu Day” because that’s the day his sad photo became “legendary”. Fans have been following the actor’s kind actions towards the community, such as donating money to cancer research organizations, donating bone marrow, or participating in charity activities in his name.

How much admiration is enough for Keanu Reeves?
When he first meets someone, he also starts by smiling and introducing himself as Keanu Revees – which is completely unnecessary for a star like him.
Over the years, Keanu Reeves has worked hard to shake off his sad image and become an inspiration for a humble and positive lifestyle. The New Yorker once published a profile of him with the headline: “Keanu Reeves is too good for this world!”. A writer even started a topic on Twitter called “Keanu Reeves Kind Stories” and it was widely responded to.
The trend of talking about Keanu through his kind actions started with the story of this actor buying a whole plot of land to build a school for children he didn’t know just because he suddenly heard that the children were lacking a school to study.

He can appear from anywhere: on the subway, sidewalk, park with anyone from beggars, security guards, children, fans and leave in their hearts an infinite appreciation.
Keanu Reeves has been given many nicknames by the audience, from “Most Beloved Actor”, “King of Gentleman”, “King of Respect for Women” or “Internet Boyfriend”. All of these are just to show their love and admiration for the 54-year-old actor, because of his personality that is beyond good in real life.
