Keanu Reeves became famous with Speed of Life 1994, and his innate elegance quickly made him an idol in the eyes of hundreds of millions of viewers in the United States and even in Asia.

Keanu Reeves is a half-breed, with a height of 183 cm. He was born in Beirut, Lebanon on September 2, 1964. His father, Samuel Noreen Reeves, was a geologist and a Hawaiian of half China descent. Patricia's mother is English and a stage costume designer. At that time, her mother met Keanu's biological father when she was a dancer in a bar in Beirut and gave birth to Keanu. The marriage didn't last long. They divorced soon after Keanu Reeves was born. Soon, mother Patricia and Reeves and her sister Kim moved to new york. In new york, she married Broadway director paul allen and her family moved to Toronto. A year later, the family broke up again. Later, her mother married two husbands, and Keanu Reeves spent her childhood in constant moving and turbulence. The pronunciation of "Keanu" is key-an-oo, which comes from Hawaiian dialect. In Hawaiian dialect, the name "Keanu-Reeves" means "a breeze blowing from a distant valley". It is really like a cool mountain wind, which injected a fresh breath into the film industry in the 1990s.

Keanu Reeves didn't like studying when he was a child, but he was keen on hockey and drama. Constantly moving, constantly transferring schools (he went to four different middle schools), and lacking interest in learning, he dropped out of school before graduation. Because stepfather paul allen is a director, there are often stars in their family. Long-term contact with the entertainment circle made Keanu Reeves interested in performance. 65,438+06 years old, entered the entertainment circle with a Coca-Cola advertisement. At the age of 65,438+07, he decided to become an actor and turned to the development of acting career. Since then, he has frequently appeared in Canadian TV dramas and stage plays. His first important role was the stage play "The Prodigal Son" in Toronto, in which he played Bernie, a professional jockey who went to a mental hospital. However, he is not satisfied with playing only a few small roles. When Hollywood star rob lowe came here to shoot "Young Blood" in 1984, he appeared in the film and left Toronto for Los Angeles to seek his dream.

1985, he came to Los Angeles and went to Hollywood, which he yearned for. From 65438 to 0987, Keanu attracted the attention of directors and critics because he played a rebellious young man in The Edge of the River. 1989, Keanu quickly got a role in The Extraordinary Adventures of Bill and Ted. This is a light comedy full of fantasy. In this film, he plays a young guitarist who is on cloud nine. When he first made his debut, he played the boy like a "son of nature" and was amiable. From then on, Keanu Reeves gradually became known as an idol of American teenagers, and got the chance to participate in the historical film Dangerous Liaisons. In Keanu Reeves's films, Dangerous Contact was a great success, which made Keanu Reeves, who played a supporting role in the film, famous and established his position in Hollywood.

At the same time, Keanu Reeves also began to try to broaden his career. In 1989' s Parents and 199 1' s I Love You to Death, he showed a leisurely and elegant performance style. In "Discovering", although he didn't become popular, he also showed his potential in this respect. 1993 participated in the filming of "Many Achieves Nothing" directed by Kenneth Branny, which is a gay film. During this period, he began to try a variety of performance styles to prove his versatility. In particular, in 1992, Keanu Reeves played a supporting role in Coppola's famous vampire film Dracula of the snapper. Although Keanu Reeves didn't play the leading role in this film, his performance in the film left a deep impression on people. During this period, Keanu Reeves became popular in Hollywood. 1993 Keanu was "hand-picked" by the famous Italian director Bertucci and played the leading role of Prince Dado in his film Little Buddha. This is a very difficult role. In order to play this role well, he also specially read many Buddhist books and lost weight. Perhaps it is a quarter of Keanu Reeves's oriental ancestry that endows him with an extremely pure and pure temperament, which makes him a good candidate to play the role of "Little Buddha". Keanu Reeves's performance in this film was not very successful, but it was quite good. He began to attract people's attention.

Keanu reached the peak of his acting career on 1994, and his low-budget action film Speed won the box office of 1.2 1 billion dollars. The film was directed by the famous Dutch photographer Yang Dibang. Keanu Reeves is almost always in a state of exhaustion in the whole film: first, he rescues the trapped people in the high-speed elevator of the skyscraper, then performs jumping and drilling under the car, and flies over the viaduct with the heroine sandra bullock until the hero finally rescues the Americans. The image of Keanu Reeves in this film rewrites the tradition of "mature middle age" of Hollywood heroes. He is witty, agile and has a handsome face. The success of Speed also pushed his momentum to the peak.

After Speed, Keanu played a computer librarian in Johnny May monique, and Keanu Reeves's performance in the film was even ridiculed as "more like a robot than a robot" because the whole film was made sloppily. Then in Walking in the Clouds, he plays a salesman retired from World War II, a scientific researcher in Chain Reaction, an unknown writer in Feeling Minnesota, and The Devil's Advocate. In just a few years, he played many different roles. As he tried to keep his distance from mainstream producers, his position in Hollywood gradually weakened, and his choice of independent films did not sell well. After The Devil's Lawyer, he didn't get the Hollywood script for half a year.

From 65438 to 0999, Keanu Reeves ushered in the second turning point of his acting career-The Matrix. This is a movie describing the virtual network world, and it became the second box office in the United States with 1999. Keanu Reeves plays a dark, mysterious and powerful hacker in the movie. He basically only wears black clothes, short hair and no smile, but his eyes are very attractive and he looks cool. The action design of this film is directed by Yuan Heping, a famous Hong Kong martial arts designer. At his request, Samuel Levi and other actors studied martial arts for several months before filming. This year, he released a new film, body double, in which he played an American football quarterback. After the film was released in the United States, the box office was not ideal. Keanu was also criticized by film critics and fans. Watcher is another masterpiece he released this year, in which Keanu first tried the villain role and played a serial killer. As soon as the film was released, it won the top spot in the North American box office with a revenue of 9,654,380,000 US dollars, which saved the influence of body double to some extent. I am currently training in Australia for four months, and then filming Matrix 2 for one year. His next play, Hard Ball, will challenge baseball and play a coach.

After becoming famous, Keanu Reeves did not strike while the iron was hot to make some high-paying movies, but was keen to make some low-cost movies, showing a indifferent attitude towards fame and fortune. In addition to acting, he is also keen on motorcycles and music, working as a bass player in Sirius and living a chic life. In his private life, he was once suspected of having homosexual tendencies. While filming The Matrix on 1999, he met one of the stuntmen, Jennifer, who is 27 years old. They fell in love at first sight and soon fell in love. Unfortunately, their unborn daughter died before Christmas 1999. They were very sad and cried. After entering the new Millennium, they finally ushered in the first love crystallization, and Keanu, 36, finally became a father. Before that, he had three girlfriends who were engaged to Amanda Deckard Nate in 1996. But Keanu broke up with Amanda out of a sense of responsibility after learning that he got his ordinary girlfriend Jennifer Sim pregnant. Kelly-Anne-Moschelli is Keanu's favorite in The Matrix, and she keeps an intermittent dating relationship with Keanu. At the same time, Brenda Davis, the lover of his former classmate, tried to renew the old love once this year, but failed.
