Keanu Reeves Had The Best Exchange With A 9-Year-Old Fan, And The Internet Can't Handle It
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Keanu Reeves had the most adorable exchange with a teeny-tiny die-hard fan, and I'm struggling to hold back the tears.
In a viral clip on IGN's Twitter, the John Wick: Chapter 4 star met nine-year-old Noah during an LA book signing for his comic book series BRZRKR.
I can't believe I missed the signing. It will take some time to heal from this.
The comic book was created and written by Keanu and Matt Kindt, with illustrations by Ron Garney. The series follows an immortal warrior named Berzerker who fights across time. And luckily, Noah had the chance to meet the real-life hero behind it all.
"I'm such a big fan," Noah said, standing before his idol. After Keanu learned the boy's name, he introduced himself — although I'm sure Noah knew already.
"You're probably my favorite actor in the whole world!" Noah exclaimed. "You're the best!"
"Oh, my gosh, Noah, thank you," Keanu replied, blushing.
The 58-year-old actor then referenced one of his few age-appropriate roles since Noah's obviously a little young for John Wick. "Did you see Duke Caboom in Toy Story 4?" he asked.
Noah is there for a BRZRKR signing, so I'll guess he's already seen Keanu's less family-friendly movies too.
"Yeah!" Noah answered with giggles. "He's my favorite character!"
As if the moment couldn't become any sweeter, Keanu channeled the daredevil toy — gestures, catchphrases, and all. "Canada's greatest stuntman!" he shouted.
After the pair laugh together, Keanu added, "I really liked playing Duke Caboom."
The warm moment is a testament that Keanu Reeves still holds the title of one of Hollywood's least problematic and most genuine actors — and folks on Twitter agree with me:
I want to be like Keanu. In every way.

Notice Keanu's eyes..locked onto young Noah's eyes, not looking past him, or checking to who is taking pictures. Giving the young man in a super short time..a memory to keep close for the rest of his life. Keanu actually connected with him.Bravo, Mr Reeves. ❤

Keanu Reeves always seems like he'd be a cool guy to hang out with; you could murder a hundred assassins or maybe do yoga.

Some people just "get it"--fame, used properly, can be an amazing superpower. Imagine having the ability to brighten someone's day (and give them a story they'll probably tell their whole life) simply by being kind, considerate and deliberate in the use of your power...

Damn anyone who went to that comic shop was lucky that day!!! Almost envious of it even though I didn't know it was happening until after the fact and I don't live anywhere even remotely close 😆 pic.twitter.com/FoAXGAG3pc

And since this is the third time I wrote about the Matrix actor in five weeks, here's the obligatory photo of Keanu with puppies.
You're welcome.
