Another fan said Reeves wasn’t afraid of a #MeToo situation but just believed in being respectful.

“It’s not about not taking chances,” a user tweeted at Kemoy Lindsay. “It’s about being considerate and respectful, qualities that Keanu carries in spades.”

Another person echoed the sentiment, tweeting, “He’s respectful. This should be how it’s done unless ya know the woman doesn’t mind being touched. Keanu should inspire us all.”

A third fan wrote, “He’s being respectful and I’m here for it!!”

The viral tweet comes after SBNation writer James Dator recalled an experience he had with the actor in 2001 while Dator was 16 and working at a movie theater in Sydney, Australia.

As Dator recounted in a Twitter thread, Reeves was in town working on the Matrix series and had stopped by to see Johnny Depp’s film From Hell at the time.

“…Suddenly this dude walks up in jeans, a leather jacket and a horse riding helmet. A full a—, weird equestrian looking helmet. It takes me a solid 30 seconds to ignore the helmet and realize it’s Keanu Reeves,” Dator recalled.

“I do what any sensible 16-year-old does and tell him I’d like to give him my employee discount. This means he needs to sign my sheet and therefore I have his autograph,” Dator said.

Sadly, Reeves wasn’t biting. “‘I don’t work here,’ ” Keanu says, seemingly confused by my offer,” Dator remembered.

Later, Dator tweeted Reeves found him again and said, “‘I realized you probably wanted my autograph,’ he says. ‘So I signed this.’ He hands me a receipt from the concessions stand that he signed on the back. He then casually throws an ice cream cone in the trash can and sees his movie.”

Only later did it click with Dator: Reeves “bought an ice cream cone he didn’t want, just to get receipt paper so he could scribble his autograph for a 16-year-old idiot.”
