The actor has some pretty loyal fans.

Keanu Reeves is revealing how he feels about being the internet's boyfriend.

The actor, 58, divulged that he is perfectly fine with his diehard fans claiming him as the internet's boyfriend during the New York City premiere of his new film, John Wick: Chapter 4 on Wednesday, March 15.

"I really appreciate the goodwill," Reeves said when People asked him how he feels about the sentiment. 

Last week during an interview with Entertainment Tonight Canada, Keshia Chanté mentioned that the actor has been referred to as the internet's boyfriend because of his kind reputation. 

She went on to ask Reeves what grounds him and how he manages to stay humble despite everything that comes with the fame and fortune of being in the spotlight.

“Humility. I don’t know. I mean, I’m just an actor, I’m just a guy. I’m just trying to do the best I can. Hopefully people like what I do, you know?” he replied.

The internet isn't the only place where the actor's kindness has been praised. 

Reeves' John Wick costar, Laurence Fishburne also sat down with Chanté where she asked him if The Matrix actor is as kind as everyone says he is. 

“He’s kinder, yeah. He’s much kinder than people say he is. He’s a very gentle, highly intelligent man," Fishburne said, adding, "Really thoughtful and gifted and incredibly patient. Yeah, he has a lot of grace, Keanu.”

Reeves' other costar, Rina Sawayama also gushed over the actor during an interview with Good Morning America on March 15. 

"He was so sweet," she said, adding, "He's not a showy person. He does things a lot behind the scenes to make sure everyone is feeling OK."

"Honestly, he can turn off the celebrity, which is a weird thing to say. You think someone like Keanu walking around the set has an air of celebrity constantly, but he's there just to work," she said. "I didn't feel intimidated at all."

In fact, Reeves is so loved, he even received a marriage offer during the SXSW premiere for John Wick: Chapter 4 which he kindly shut down, stating, “Yeah, be careful what you wish for."
