Keanu Reeves has once again proven why he is one of Hollywood’s most beloved and generous stars. The 57-year-old actor made headlines this weekend for a remarkable gesture towards the stunt crew of “John Wick: Chapter 4”. At a dinner in Paris, Reeves presented four members of the film’s stunt team with individually customized Rolex Submariner watches, each valued at nearly $10,000.
The thoughtful gifts, which were given to commemorate the completion of the film’s production, were met with overwhelming gratitude. One crew member shared a photo of the inside of the watch on social media, where the engraving read: “The John Wick Five” along with the message: “Jeremy, Thank you, Keanu JW4 2021.” The post included a caption expressing their heartfelt appreciation: “Best wrap gift ever.”
The action-packed film, which is expected to hit theaters in May 2022, marks another milestone in the highly successful “John Wick” franchise. Reeves’ generosity not only celebrates the dedication of the stunt crew but also highlights his longstanding reputation for recognizing and rewarding those who contribute to the success of his projects.
This isn’t the first time Keanu has made headlines for his acts of kindness. The actor’s thoughtfulness extends beyond the screen, with another heartwarming gesture revealed in 2021. For Octavia Spencer’s 50th birthday, Keanu sent her a personal video message that moved the Oscar-winning actress to tears. Spencer recalled the special moment in an interview with Access Hollywood’s Sibley Schools, describing the surprise message as “the cherry on top” of a memorable birthday.
But the story behind the gift goes even deeper. When Octavia first moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting, she had a life-changing encounter with Keanu. After her car broke down on the way to an audition, Keanu, who was riding his motorcycle, stopped to help her. In a touching moment, Spencer fondly remembered Keanu’s casual yet memorable appearance, wearing a motorcycle helmet, corduroy pants, and a simple T-shirt. This act of kindness left a lasting impact on her.
Keanu’s reputation for being humble and generous is also shared by fellow celebrities. Tracee Ellis Ross, who is a huge fan of Keanu, recalled a memorable encounter with him at the 2019 Met Gala. Ross, hoping for a spark to fly between the two of them, found herself alone with Keanu in an elevator. Despite the romantic anticipation, the encounter ended without a proposal or even a conversation, but the experience left Ross in awe of the star’s understated demeanor.
From surprising his stunt crew with luxury gifts to making unforgettable gestures for his colleagues, Keanu Reeves continues to solidify his place not only as a Hollywood legend but also as a true philanthropist and an all-around kind-hearted individual. His generosity and down-to-earth nature remain a beacon of inspiration in an industry that often values fame over character.
I am really appreciate his kindness. Let’s spread the love to everyone
