In March, Yahoo! Entertainment reported that Keanu Reeves was on a United flight that made an emergency landing in Bakersfield, California. He preceded to take it upon himself to help with logistics and and help get himself and other passengers to their original final destination, Los Angeles.Reeves and other passengers, including game developer Amir Blum, ended up taking a van to Los Angeles and Reeves read out Bakersfield facts, played some music, and just seemed to make the best out of a bad situation. Brian Rea, on his Instagram story which has been preserved by Twitter user @keanusgf, chronicled his and the others journey with Keanu Reeves, which you can see part of below.In honor of this story, which wasn't the first by Reeves, we've decided to look at four other stories of actual acts of kindness by the one and only Keanu Reeves.

Shortly after Academy Award-winning actress Octavia Spencer moved to Los Angeles from Alabama to pursue a career in acting, her car broke down while she was on her way to one of her first auditions.Speaking to Meredith Vieira on her talk show, she explained how a man on a motorcycle pulled over to help her who just happened to be Keanu Reeves. “No one would help me because my car was so dirty – I had been parking my car underneath a tree so birds were just having a field day all over my car and I never washed," Spencer recalled. "It wasn’t until Keanu Reeves came by. He was on a motorcycle, wearing his motorcycle helmet and sunglasses and I didn’t recognise it was him when he pulled over. And he was like, ‘Hey, do you need some help?'”Reeves pushed Spencer's car to the side of the road, and she vividly remembers being "mortified" that Keanu had to touch her dirty car.“I was so mortified. I was like, ‘Oh no, hes gonna touch my car!’. And I was looking terrible, I had a shirt with holes (in it), I wasn’t wearing any underwear. So to this day, I go to his movie every opening weekend, because that was a sweet thing to do. But I will never remind him of that moment because when I say I was looking foul, I don’t want that memory to come back (to him).”Another example of Keanu Reeves' good deeds are related to his generous donations to multiple causes, including buying his Mom a home and running a private foundation that benefits cancer research and children's hospitals.He was also said to have given up "points" that pay an actor after a film has been released to ensure The Matrix's special effect and costume departments had all they needed to make the best film possible.That's not all, as Reeves has been known to take pay cuts to ensure he has had the opportunity to star with other actors, such as Al Pacino in The Devil's Advocate and Gene Hackman in The Replacements.Back in 1997, some paparazzi captured a photo of Keanu Reeves hanging out with a homeless man in Hollywood. They shared drinks and snacks and he apparently stayed a while to listen to the man's stories and just enjoy the day.Not much else is known of this story, but it's another example of Keanu Reeves taking the time to help others.With fame comes power, but Keanu has proven that he does not always abuse that power, even for his own wrap party. On the night of the aforementioned wrap party for Daughter of God, there was some mix-up and instead of Keanu cutting to the front of the line, he waited in the rain for 20 minutes in line because "he didn't want to make a scene."The club owner had no idea this was happening, saying "I didn't know he was kept waiting, and he didn't say anything to me. He's a very relaxed person."That's not all, as later during the same party he got on the microphone to announce he found someone's credit card and for them to come see him to get it back.

These are only a few stories of the legend of Keanu Reeves, and while each of us may not know when Keanu Reeves will appear to us when we need him most, we do know that we all will be able to see him in John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum in theaters on May 17, 2019.
