Life always has to face one tragedy after another, but Keanu has never given up, always rising strongly from pain.
When it comes to Keanu Reeves, movie “nerds” will immediately remember the lifelong role of Neo in the Matrix series , or the actor’s great performance that made John Wick a success.
Temporarily putting aside the glory of his brilliant career, Keanu has long been an inspirational symbol for everyone because of his tenacious will to live and his determination not to let fate beat him down.
Childhood is not perfect
Keanu was born into a dysfunctional family when his father abandoned him. Keanu’s childhood was a series of days of temporary living here and there because he had to follow his amorous mother who migrated from place to place.
Changing schools frequently had a huge impact on Keanu’s dyslexia. This is also the reason why he never graduated from high school because he couldn’t remember what he read.
Keanu had an incomplete childhood.
Not giving in to illness, Keanu worked harder than normal people and today, he has accumulated a lot of knowledge for himself from books. Keanu can even recite a line from a novel by writer William Shakespeare.
That boy overcame adversity with unremitting efforts.
The lonely man over and over witnessed the person he loved leave the world
Despite possessing an extremely warm smile, Keanu rarely smiles. On screen, he always chooses the image of a lonely man, just like his own tragic life.
In 1993, Keanu experienced great pain and loss before the death from drug overdose of actor River Phoenix. Previously, the two were an identical couple, wherever they went they never forgot to mention the other person, to the point that they were rumored to be in a homosexual relationship.
The passing of a close colleague left a huge emotional wound for Keanu.
Keanu’s soul was somewhat soothed when he met and fell in love with the beautiful Jennifer Syme in 1998. The couple loved each other passionately and were extremely happy when they received the news that Jennifer was pregnant with their first daughter. 1 year later. The joy was short-lived. Before the child could cry for the first time, he was stillborn in the mother’s womb in the 8th month of pregnancy.
The child’s death caused a huge hole in Keanu and Jennifer’s relationship. Not long after, the couple broke up but still kept in contact as two close friends. Fate once again decided not to forgive Keanu when it took the life of the girl he loved most 18 months later in a tragic traffic accident.
Keanu buried Jennifer’s body next to their daughter’s grave in Westwood Village Cemetery in Los Angeles. From then on, the smile disappeared from the actor’s lips.
Rising from the ashes to become the kindest man on the planet
Faced with such life tragedy, it is difficult for anyone to maintain a clear mind so as not to turn to stimulants or alcohol to forget like Keanu. He chose cinema as a place to relieve his sadness, rushing into filming like a moth, using work as joy to fill the sadness in his heart.
Keanu rushed into filming to fill his sadness.
In a 2003 interview, Keanu once said: ” Money is the last thing I think about. I can live on what I have made for the next few centuries .” His sharing was met with a lot of sarcasm from the online community. The actor did not object at that time, only using his actions to prove that he was not talking nonsense. In fact, what Keanu did went beyond what he said.
Keanu deducted 80 million USD from the 114 million USD salary for filming Matrix 2 to divide equally among the post-production staff in the film crew. In addition, he also gave a Christmas gift worth 20,000 USD to the family of an employee in difficult circumstances.
Simple image of the male actor doing charity work.
Keanu’s younger sister has leukemia. So he used all the money he earned to treat his sister. In addition, he is also the most enthusiastic anonymous sponsor of charity funds supporting cancer patients.
It is because of Keanu’s humane lifestyle, despite adversity, that he has earned him the title “the kindest man on the planet”. Once said: ” Pain only changes from one shape to another, it never ends .”
At that time, he looked like a lonely star in the heart of Hollywood’s glamour, fame, but constantly spreading the inspiration for a positive life worth appreciating.
