The World According To Keanu Reeves

By Mike Purdy


We all know of Keanu Reeves for his kick-ass role in the science-fiction trilogy The Matrix! Reeves played the part of Thomas.A.Anderson/Neo, a quiet programmer for a respectable software company. But he's not as respectable as he seems, as he is also a secret hacker, learning what he can of “The Matrix”, under the name Neo. He is finally awakened to reality, where he is told that he is “The One” and must save Zion.

That role could not have been better acted and he will be recognised for that part for a long time to come.Reeves has also starred in a number of other films, such as Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Speed, The Lake House, The Day The Earth Stood Still and Point Break.

On top of that he has worked in Theatre, playing important roles that have named him as a versatile actor. When he portrayed the role of Hamlet he was announced one of the best three Hamlets Roger Lewis, from the Sunday Times, had ever seen.

He received a star on the Hollywood walk of fame in 2005, officially going down in history as one of the great actors of his time. Keanu Charles Reeves was born in 1964 in Beirut, Lebanon, but is officially Canadian, although he is of English, Irish, Portuguese, Hawaiian, and Chinese descent. Quite a mix there!

As a boy, Reeves was more the sporty sort than academic, as a result of suffering from dyslexia. He dreamt of becoming an Olympic hockey player for Canada however after sustaining a serious injury, his potential hockey career came to an end.



But luckily for us, he went on to become a successful and talented actor and to be involved in the making of some of the best loved films of this day and age.
