This is Keanu Reeves from the movie John Wick.
He was abandoned by his father at 3 years old and grew up with 3 different stepfathers.
He has dyslexia.
His dream of becoming a hockey player was destroyed by a serious accident.
His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident.
His best friend, River Phoenix, died of an overdose.
His sister battled leukemia.
No bodyguards, no luxury houses.
Keanu lives in an ordinary apartment and likes wandering around town and is often seen riding a subway in New York City.
When he was filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants.
One was crying as he would lose his house if he did not pay $20,000 - On the same day, Keanu deposited the necessary amount in his bank account.
In his career, he has donated large sums to hospitals, including $75 million of his earnings from “The Matrix” to charities.
In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu walked into a bakery & bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.
In 1997 some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours.
In life, sometimes, the ones most broken from the inside are the ones most willing to help others.
This man could buy everything, and instead, every day, he gets up and chooses one thing that cannot be bought.
To be a good person.
