Keanu Reeves had no idea he’s been named the internet’s newest boyfriend.

After starring in John Wick, there has been an outpouring of love for the 54-year-old online, but Keanu was completely oblivious.

When appearing on the red carpet at the Toy Story 4 premiere, in Los Angeles, he was asked by People magazine what he made of his new title.

And well, the actor was shocked.


He laughed: ‘I’ve been what? I didn’t know that… That’s wacky.’

But the much loved star appreciates the support, as he continued: ‘The positivity is great. It’s really special how [Always Be My Maybe and John Wick 3] have been embraced.

‘Ali Wong and Randall Park [are] just really wonderful artists and people, and it was really cool to get a chance to play with them.’



But while fans stan the actor, they’re also trying to ship him with with Long Shot star Charlize Theron.

It seems the internet is one heck of a powerful thing, as their followers have rallied around the duo in hopes they one day end up together.

Just weeks after Charlize, 43, left the world shook with the revelation that she’s ‘shockingly available’ and has been ‘single for years’, Keanu admitted he’s ‘lonely’ and looking for love.

So the perfect ingredients for a relationship, right?

However, it sounds like Keanu is still holding out for ‘the one’ despite everything he’s been through.

In 1999, his then-girlfriend Jennifer Syme gave birth to a stillborn child and the couple’s relationship broke down due to the strain of their loss.

Then in 2001, Jennifer died instantly in a horrific car crash.

And Keanu, 54, has been pretty quiet on the relationship front ever since, admitting in a recent interview that he doesn’t have anyone special in his life right now.

‘You know, I’m the lonely guy. I don’t have anyone in my life,’ he told Star2.com.

‘But if it does occur, I would respect and love the other person; hopefully it’ll happen for me.’
