KEANU REEVES, I’M SORRY I DOUBTED YOU

http://multiglom.com/2015/03/07/kean...i-doubted-you/

"We snarked about your minor weight gain in Chain Reaction, but had to eat our words when you played the sleekest computer nerd in history in The Matrix (1999). There were signs, too, that your IQ was nowhere near as low as we’d been painting it; for The Matrix, you were paid $10 million plus 10% of the gross, which rose to $15 million and 15% for the two sequels. But you said, “Money is the last thing I think about. I could live on what I have already made for the next few centuries,” and gave $80 million to the crew."

He seems like the genuine article.

A lot of things in this article surprised me... one of which is that he's 50 years old. Wow, time does fly.

And John Wick, in which you play a former hitman who comes out of retirement to go after the mobster who kills your puppy, more than repays our devotion with its terrific scenes of combat (cutting back on the CGI and hyper-editing so you can actually see what’s going on, which is a novelty these days) and amusing worldbuilding (a hotel for hitmen!). It’s a blast.

Maybe this is why I like Banshee so much.

Hollywood crews are paid very well. Why not donate $80 Million to charity?

I believe Keanu's life has been filled with tragedy. His best friend River Phoenix died. His new baby was a stillborn. Then the mother of that child (his girlfriend) dies in a car crash. Oh yeah, and then his sister dies of cancer.

Anyways, might give a little context on why he's so charitable.
