Over and over again, Keanu Reeves has captured our attention for all the right reasons. The down-to-earth actor has always surprised us through his generous acts. He is famous among people for being the gentleman of Hollywood and has made headlines all over the internet for the same. Over the years, we have heard several tales of the actor that has made us fall in love with him.

Not only is he a kind human but also a person who respects and understands the hard work of other people. One incident that clearly depicts this aspect of thr actor is when he decided to simply give away millions from his earnings without a second thought.

According to Hello! Magazine, the actor gave away approximately $75 million dollars i.e. £50 million of his Matrix sequels earnings to the members of the costume and special effects team. Keanu understood the significance of their hard work in making the movie. As a token of gratitude, he gave around $1 million dollars to each of the crew members. When asked about this, the actor said, "Money is the last thing I think about. I could live on what I have already made for the next few centuries."

However, he did not stop with the money. While shooting in Australia, Keanu surprised his stunt staff members with Harley-Davidson motorcycles as a thank you gift.

"We were all in this thing, and we were training together beforehand. I just wanted… to give a bigger thank-you to all these guys who helped me make this, I think, one of the great movie fights in the history of cinema," said the 55-year-old actor in an interview with the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Added to this, he has always been praised for being one of the most concerned and genuine people despite the fame and celebrity status. Unlike other celebrities, the actor is known to interact freely on the sets. A Reddit user, named r/kahi went on to talk about Keanu's respectful attitude towards other members on the set who may not be famous or rich like him. "He also was one of the only people on the set that genuinely wanted to know peoples names, would say hello and mean it, and would talk to people as they were his peers and not below him just because they were practically making nothing to build a set," wrote a Reddit user.

The user also stated that the actor stepped in to help a member of the cast after knowing his family was struggling financially. "A family friend builds movie sets, doesn't design, is one of the poor dudes that just builds. Anyways he worked on the set for The Matrix and Keanu heard about family trouble he was having and gave him a $20,000 Christmas bonus to help him out," wrote the Reddit user. These are just some of the many good things told about the actor who never fails to appeal to his fans as a great performer and an excellent human.
