Keanu Reeves is perhaps the most loved man in all of Hollywood. Go ahead and try to dig up some dirt on him, you can’t. He is a genuinely good-hearted guy who has never let fame go to his head. Even after being in the business for decades, he remains solidly glued down to earth.
Keanu has endured a lot of loss over the years too. That heartbreak would be enough to bring the strongest person to their knees, but somehow Keanu has continued to steadily power on, showing us that anything is possible. We have to believe the support of his close friends has helped him get through those darker times. Check out these twenty pictures of Reeves with his Hollywood friends.
20. He Still Adores Sandy
Keanu is not all that keen on being out and about Tinsel Town with a ton of high profile pals, but he tends to make an exception for A-lister Sandra Bullock. He and Sandy have a sweet friendship that has stood the test of time. They met while filming the movie Speed, and have stuck by each other’s side for twenty-five years.
19. Trinny Woodall Leans On Him For Support
When Woodall’s marriage ended, she turned to her pal Keanu for support. Trinny had met the actor through a mutual friend, and they clicked. At the time of Woodall’s breakup, Reeves was dating actress Parker Posey, so who knows if these two could have ever been more. For Keanu, having a good friend in her seemed enough.
18. Randall Park Might Have A Man Crush On Keanu
Randall Park had to punch Keanu in the face in the Netflix film, Always Be My Maybe, but none of that would ever go down between these two actors after the cameras stopped rolling. Honestly, who in their right mind would ever punch our sweet, sensitive Keanu? That person would have to be genuinely disturbed.
17. Charlize And Keanu Have Stayed Loyal For Years
Charlize Theron adores Keanu Reeves. These two beautiful people have known one another for over twenty years now, and they have made two films together. Of Keanu, Charlize says that he is indeed, “One of the greatest guys.” We wouldn’t mind seeing these two take their friendship to another level.
16. Dogstar Thought He Was Cool Enough To Jam With
Keanu Reeves has been a significant player in the Hollywood acting circuit for decades, but acting isn’t his only talent. Reeves also used to play in a 90’s grunge band called Dogstar. The story goes Reeves met another band member Robert Mailhouse, in a grocery store, and from that point, the band was born.
15. And Robert Mailhouse His His Ultimate Bestie
Reeves and Robert Mailhouse met when they were forming their grunge band, Dogstar. The band broke up after putting two albums out, but Mailhouse and Reeves didn’t lose touch. They worked on a couple of other projects together, including forming another band called Becky, and remain friends to this day.
14. Sophia Coppola Threw Him A Thank You Credit
Sophia’s father directed Reeves in Dracula, and Sophia and Keanu ended up dating for some time back in the 1990s. Coppola went on to direct Lost in Translation, which earned her an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, among other awards. She and Keanu must have remained pretty close friends because she threw him a thank you credit in her film.
13. Claire Forlani And Keanu Dated And Then Formed A Friendship
Claire Forlani And Keanu dated for two years before deciding that they would be far better off as friends. Some couples break up and then have to move on completely, unable to only be pals, but everyone who dates Keanu seems okay with being his friend afterward. It’s better to have Keanu in any capacity than not at all.
12. Keanu And Robert Downy Jr. Have Respect For Eachother
A Scanner Darkly was an adult animated film that Keanu worked on and was especially proud of. When Robert Downy Jr. heard that Reeves was going to be a part of the project, he knew he also wanted in on it. These guys might not have poker nights or go to Lakers games together, but they have a respect for each other’s craft.
11. He Lays Low With Alexandra Grant
Alexandra Grant’s name has been all over the gossip columns as of late, and it is all because of Keanu. The world wants Reeves to settle down and find love because darn it! He deserves it like no one else. When murmurings started swirling about the actor and his artist friend being romantically involved, well, the world went wild.
10. Winona And Him Go Way Back
Keanu and Winona Ryder adore one another, and they have for a long time. The eccentric actors first starred together in 1992’s Dracula. From that point on, they were destined to be friends forever. They recently lit the silver screen up once more in Destination Wedding, and their chemistry is as strong as ever.
9. Alex Winter Is Still His Bro
Keanu and his former costar Alex Winter were once known only as Bill and Ted, and they went on an Excellent Adventure many years ago. That adventure is about to happen again, in 2020, because the fellas are reprising their roles for the iconic film. We can’t believe we are being treated to such a thing. So glad these two still like each other enough to keep making movies.
8. He And Halle Are Costars And Compadres
Beautiful Halle Berry considers herself pretty lucky to count Keanu as one of her friends. The two talented actors have starred in the John Wick movies together, and the third one was recently released. Keanu seems to feel most comfortable with the Hollywood stars he has previously worked with.
7. He And Eric Dane Are Chummy
Reeves and Eric Dane haven’t worked on a major project together, but the two guys seem to be perfectly friendly with each other. They crossed paths when Reeves was out with pals, riding their motorcycles, and grabbing a bite to eat. Dane, too, was stopping in Malibu for a midday snack.
6. He Popped Into His Director Friend Carl Rinsch’s Wedding
Reeves traveled all the way Uruguay to attend his friend, Carl Rinsch’s, wedding. Reeves became friends with the direction/groom when he signed on to star in Rinsch’s film 47 Ronin. Again, some of Keanu’s closest friends started off as work colleagues. These two must be tight for Keanu to travel that far down south.
5. Keanu And Jada Get On Pretty Nicely Too
He clearly finds Jada Pinkett Smith engaging and delightful. Just look at the smile on his face! Pinkett-Smith and Reeves worked together on the Matrix movies, and according to sources, both are gearing up to star in the fourth addition to the franchise. Keanu must think himself pretty lucky to always be working with friends.
4. Keanu And Lawrence Fishburn Both Have That Cool Vibe
Another working relationship turned genuine bromance here! Keanu and Lawrence Fishburne worked together on the second John Wick project. Fishburne joked around that he only agreed to do the movie because “all of his friends were doing it.” The actors previously starred in the Matrix movies together.
3. Video Game Designer Hideo Kojima Digs Keanu Too
Keanu is a creative guy, and he and famous video game creator, Hideo Kojima, have that in common. Reeves traveled all the way to Kojima Productions in Shinagawa, Tokyo, Japan, to see the maker of the Metal Gear Solid series. Maybe they were discussing possible collaborations in the future, or perhaps they were just hanging out.
2. Ali Wong Thinks The World Of Him Too
Reeves starred in Ali Wong’s Netflix rom-com Always Be My Maybe, where he played himself. In the film, he romances the comedienne, but in real life, these two are platonic. Post-production, he continued to support his co-star and friend in her stand up career and took a show in at Wiltern in Los Angeles. He is such a supportive friend.
1. Peter Stormare Gets To Consider Themself A Friend Of The Great Keanu
Stormare and Reeves have been friends for a long time too. They both tend to fly under the radar and embrace their introverted ways. They also both like picking up an independent or slightly offbeat project. The fellows have quite a bit in common, which keeps their friendship sustainable.
