Height: 183 cm

Weight: 17-175 lbs (77 kg) < He is a half-breed, his father is a Hawaiian of half China descent, and his mother is an Englishman. In Hawaiian dialect, the name "keanu reeves" means "a breeze blowing from a distant valley", and it is really like a cool mountain breeze, which has injected a fresh breath into the film industry in the 199s. Before moving to Canada, keanu reeves lived in Australia and new york as a child. Keanu's father ran away from home when he was a child and divorced Keanu's mother when he was 6 years old. Keanu moved to Toronto, Canada with his mother and stepfather, and his childhood experience had a great influence on Keanu's character. Keanu's mother is a stage costume designer, and his stepfather used to be an actor and a director, so there are often stars in their family. Long-term contact with the entertainment industry made Keanu interested in acting. At the age of 16, he made an advertisement for Coca-Cola and entered the entertainment industry. Since then, he has appeared frequently in Canadian TV dramas and stage plays. However, he was not satisfied with playing only a few small roles. In 1984, he came to Los Angeles and went to Hollywood where he longed for development.

In p>1986, Gino Reeves made his debut as a film "Hot Blood of Youth". At the same time, he also appeared in the films "Flying" and "The Edge of the River". However, at this time, he is as inconspicuous as many newcomers in Hollywood. In 1988, keanu reeves appeared in four films. Among them, the great success of Dangerous Relationship also made keanu reeves, who played a supporting role in the film, begin to be known. Since then, he has successively performed the excellent adventures of Bill and Ted, Love You to Death, Breakthrough and other films, but none of them had much influence, but in Breakthrough, he made his debut in an action movie and played the role of a policeman. Although not popular, it also shows his potential in this respect. In 1992, keanu reeves played a supporting role in a famous vampire film "Four Hundred Years of Surprise". Although this is not a film that belongs to him, keanu reeves's performance in the film also left a deep impression on people. In 1994, he was attracted by the famous Italian director Bertucci and played the leading role of Prince Dado in the film little buddha. This is a very difficult role. In order to play this role well, he also deliberately read a lot of Buddhist books and lost weight. Gino Reeves' oriental ancestry makes his temperament have an extremely pure and simple nature, and at the same time, a little mystery, which makes him a good candidate to play "little buddha". Although keanu reeves's performance was not extremely successful, it was quite good, and he began to attract people's attention. The film that really made Gino Reeves famous in one fell swoop was an inexpensive action film, Speed of Life and Death, which he made in the same year. After the film was released, it took only seven weeks for the box office to exceed $1 million, making it one of the most popular films in the United States in 1994. Gino Reeves also became a hit and became one of the most watched young movie stars in Hollywood. In 1995, Gino Reeves starred in the film "Walking in the Clouds", which was also very popular. This was the first time he played the leading role in a romantic film. His unique temperament attracted a large number of female audiences, making him one of the most popular youth idols.

With the performance of The Devil's Lawyer, which he co-starred with al pacino, Reeves once again attracted people's attention. He played a white-collar lawyer in The Devil's Lawyer in 1997, with a white face and a straight suit, which left a deep impression. However, after The Devil's Lawyer, because he tried to keep his distance from mainstream producers, and his selected independent films didn't sell well, he gradually weakened his tens of millions of dollars in Hollywood. After The Devil's Lawyer, no Hollywood movie script came to him for half a year.

However, he was not worried. He was busy practicing with his beloved Dogstar on the days when there was no filming, and held small tours everywhere. He said that it would be good to earn a beer. In addition, Reeves, who has no fixed place and loves racing, also took advantage of his leisure time to ride his Norton 85 all over the streets and lanes, taking the opportunity to pass the boring time.

keanu reeves has five motorcycles, among which he likes Combat Norton Command 85 made in 1974 best. He said it was "My beautiful,beautiful one" (my most beautiful one). Other motorcycles are: 8 Harley 1989 Model GXR 75, 7 Motoguzzi (he called it "GuzziMoto") and Suzuki 11ooo. Keanu often races in the middle of the night and turns off the lights. Keanu loves to drive fast and doesn't obey the traffic rules: he doesn't wear a helmet, speeding, drunk driving (he was sent to the police station for drunk driving a black Porsche) and driving without a license (his license was revoked but his fingers itch). Keanu often goes in and out of the hospital because he has committed the above four driving safety taboos. Sometimes on the first day of work, I bring a neck protector (there is a neck support piece in my neck) or come to see the director with crutches. Fortunately, God bless him not to hurt this eating face. Keanu reeves once left a criminal record in the police station because he was drunk, speeding and driving a black Porsche without a license at the same time. The reason why the police stopped his car at that time was because Keanu's car had no sense of direction at all on the road, and it was only after stopping the car that he found that the star driver was drunk. The police didn't leave Keanu alone with a signature photo, which shows how angry the police were when he was driving.

Shortly after this, keanu reeves received THE MATRIX (also known as The Matrix, The Killing Network of the 22nd Century, English name: The Matrix). Let's listen to what he described in an interview with reporters after the film was a great success: "Actually, I don't know what I was playing in THE MATRIXl. Anyway, no one has asked me to act for more than a year. And just as the motorcycle broke down, Porsche was detained by the police. I really have nothing to do, so I took the play. "

The Matrix became the second turning point of keanu reeves's acting career. After watching the film, probably everyone will think that starring keanu reeves is one of the three elements of the film's success. In addition, the film's perfect sci-fi consciousness and excellent screen performance (especially the action scenes directed by Yuan Heping, a famous Hong Kong action director) are also one of the factors contributing to the film's success. Keanu reeves and other actors specially studied martial arts for several months before shooting under the request of the action director, so we saw the amazing confrontation and gunfight scenes in The Matrix.

The Matrix became the second box office in the United States in 1999, and at the same time, keanu reeves once again became the focus of the world's movie fans.

Then he released "The Replacements", in which he played an American football quarterback. After the film was released in America, the box office was not satisfactory. Keanu has also been criticized by film critics and fans. "The Watcher" is another masterpiece of his, in which Keanu first tried the villain role and performed a serial killer. As soon as the film was released, it won the top box office ranking in North America with a revenue of $9.1 million, which somewhat saved the influence of Substitute. Later, "Temporary Coach" keanu reeves challenged baseball and played a coach, and the response was mediocre.

in may, 23, matrix 2 was heavily attacked, and in November, matrix 3 was bombed again. In any case, keanu reeves will be firmly tied to The Matrix, which will last forever in movie history.
