At this point, Keanu Reeves has to be everyone’s favorite actor – or favorite person, in general. He’s the gift that keeps on giving – whether that gift comes in the form of releasing a new movie, being seen on a public bus like the rest of us, or sharing a moment with a fan that’ll remember it for the rest of their lives.
The man is no stranger to making memories with fans and that’s exactly what he did just three months ago at a surprise autograph session for BRZRKR – a comic book series that he created and wrote with Matt Kindt. It was at that signing that the 58-year-old actor met one of his biggest fans named Noah.
“I’m such a big fan,” Noah says as he walks up and meets his idol. “What’s your name?” Keanu Reeves asks the 9-year-old boy – to which he responds, “Noah, my name is Noah.” Keanu proceeds to introduce himself, but Noah knew who he was – “You’re probably my favorite actor in the whole world,” he claims.

“Oh my gosh, Noah, thank you,” Keanu Reeves says in return before getting a little animated – as he’s known to do from time to time. “Did you see Duke Caboom in Toy Story 4?” he asks Noah, who calls Duke his ‘favorite character.’ For those who haven’t seen the movie, Keanu does the voice for Caboom.
In a way only he can, Keanu throws his hands up and curls his body before imitating Caboom’s famous catchphrase – “Canada’s greatest stuntman!” His gesture made Noah (and the rest of the gallery) laugh. “Well, I’m glad you liked it. I really liked playing Duke Caboom,” he said before signing Noah’s book.
Video of the interaction was shared by IGN on April 25 and has since amassed more than 2.1 million views on Twitter – as well as 3,300 retweets, 830 quotes, 794 bookmarks, 25,500 likes, and thousands of comments – most of which were excited to see Keanu Reeves staying true to himself and loving his fans.
“There are those who need to be told how to interact with fans and then there’s Keanu … THAT’s the way you do it – from the heart. What a lovely man!” one fan wrote in the comments section, while another one added, “We don’t deserve Keanu. So sweet. Love it when celebrities are this great to people.”
Keanu Reeves is No Stranger to Viral Fan Interactions
Keanu Reeves is known as one of the nicest, most humble, down-to-earth people on this planet. He has never let fame or money dictate the way he acts or behaves and, instead, chooses to move forward with love and kindness in every way – something that’s put on full display when he’s approached by fans.
Where most celebrities try to avoid those fan interactions, Keanu Reeves welcomes them and is always ready to give his fans a moment of his time. His recent encounter with Noah is just one of the many times Keanu Reeves has made a fan’s day with a gesture that they’ll likely remember for the rest of their lives.
In July of last year, Andrew Kimmel witnessed this in person when he was on an international flight from London to New York City. Keanu was on that same flight and was approached by a young fan at the baggage claim area. The young boy had a series of rapid-fire questions for the actor, which he answered.

He answered every single one of them and didn’t seem bothered in doing so. “The man could not have been nicer, especially after an international flight. I thought I’d share this because the dude is a class act and little moments like this can make such a big difference in people’s lives,” Kimmel shared in a tweet.
