When we mentioned the name Keanu Reeves we realized the fact that we were talking about one of the most famous actors in the world. He has acted in many blockbusters and hits, that we cannot register all now. We must also show that all of these roles have succeeded and that they have brought it a lot of wealth and fame. He also did many other things that were also very profitable.
Personal life
He was born on September 2 in 1964, and must be mentioned that he was born in Beirut, Canada. The name of his parents is Patricia and Samuel Reeves. Keanu did not have an easy childhood and he suffered a trauma when his father left the family when Keanu was only three years old. It should be noted that Keanu and his father have a good relationship and we relate to the six-year-old Keanu. We also have to show that his mother remarried four times when he was small and this was very traumatic for him because he had to move a lot and he had to replace the school and found a new friend every time he moved. The last place where they settled was in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. All of these personal problems created a lot of anger inside him and this anger was only combined with dyslexia. It all resulted in him to be a very poor student and did not reach full potential there.
On the other hand, it should be noted that he is very athletic and he is very good at sports. It should be noted that hockey is his desire and he is very good at it. Because he was a bad student, and he used to make a lot of problems, he was expelled from 4 different schools in just five years.
Career

When he came out of high school, he decided to file a green card, and when he got it, H decided to go to Los Angeles, CA, United States. That’s where he decided to start living with his ex-stepfather. This is very good for him because this man enters the film world. His former stepfather actually worked as a stage and television director. During his stay there, he continued to play, but he also began working on TV.
First of all, he began to appear in many advertisements; Then he began to get a small role and acting in a short film. His big breakthrough occurred in 1986 when he appeared on the banks of the river. This role opened it to the door for a bigger thing in his life.
