Superstar Keanu Reeves proved once again to be the nicest celebrity in Hollywood following an airport interaction with a young fan who had a whole lot of questions for the actor.
The 57-year-old star was photographed signing an autograph for one fan after getting off an international flight from London to New York on Monday, the New York Post reported in a piece published Wednesday. Reeves also took a series of “rapid-fire” questions from the fan. The entire exchange was noticed by TV producer Andrew Kimmel who tweeted out the interaction between Keanu and the young boy.
“Keanu Reeves was on my flight from London to NYC today,” the producer tweeted. “A young boy asked for an autograph at baggage & then began to fire off a series of rapid-fire questions.”
“Keanu happily responded to every single one…,” he added.

Kimmel tweeted their exchange that can be seen in the tweet thread here.
The kid’s first question was why was the “John Wick” star in London and he responded that he was “filming a documentary.” Reeves also shared that he’d taken in the Grand Prix, “F1! Race cars!”
The fan asked if he drove and Keanu said “not F1, but I like riding motorcycles.” At one point, the fan asked where the star lived and what he was doing in New York. The movie star replied that he would be in the city for “five days” and was going to take in a show on Broadway, the “American Buffalo! Mamet!”
“By this time the kid was running out of questions, so Keanu started grilling him,” the producer tweeted. “‘Why were you in Europe? What galleries did you go to in Paris? What was your favorite?'”
Kimmel noted that Reeves “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. We need more Keanus!”
And yes, I geeked out a little and asked for a photo. I mean… had to. Have a happy 4th everyone! pic.twitter.com/JVR5VTPQHz

In 2019, the “Speed” star became a real-life hero after a commercial flight he was on from San Francisco to Southern California had to make an emergency landing in Bakersfield, E! News noted prior.
The “John Wick: Chapter 2” star helped ease the fears of his fellow passengers, including asking questions and trying to help give them options to get to their final destination, the outlet noted. Reeves ended up joining the group for a two-hour plus van ride from Meadows Field airport to Los Angeles, entertaining them all the while by sharing details about Bakersfield’s history and playing country music, Bakersfield.com noted.
