The elderly had the biggest crush on Keanu Reeves and would always say that he reminded her of her husband. The actor became one of her closest companions when she couldn’t go out to meet her own friends.

Actor Keanu Reeves is best known among his fans for his humble personality and one of his recently-revealed fan-friendly gestures is heartwarming beyond measure. A Reddit user recently shared his experience of meeting Keanu Reeves and recollected the superstar’s kind gesture for the user’s grandmother. The elderly, who suffered from a stroke in her early 70s, had been housebound for about a decade due to her medical condition.

While facing discomfort due to her disorder, it was Keanu Reeves’ film that provided her with comfort. The elderly had the biggest crush on Reeves and would always say that he reminded her of her husband. The actor became one of her closest companions when she couldn’t go out to meet her own friends.

The Reddit user wrote, “My grandmother had a crush on Keanu Reeves because he reminded her of my grandfather when he was young – saw all his stuff, from Bill and Ted to The Matrix. She had a stroke in her early 70s and was pretty much housebound for the last 10 years of her life, so watching movies was her main hobby, and became almost like friends to her because she so rarely got to see any of her own.”

The incident took place not long after the release of The Matrix when the user’s uncle was in LA for business. He accidentally met Reeves at a swanky restaurant. After the star finished his meal, the user’s uncle decided to approach the star to tell him the story of the elderly lady. What happened next was something that he’d never imagined. Keanu Reeves was so touched by the story that he asked his uncle to call her up.

“Keanu asked if he had a cell phone on him and when he confirmed that he did, he said, ‘Give her a call, I want to talk to her’. He spoke with my grandmother for several minutes and it absolutely made her year. She was so isolated and his genuine kindness to her and interest in her showed what a truly amazing man he is,” the Reddit user concluded.

On the professional front, Keanu Reeves was last seen in The Matrix Resurrections. He is now gearing up to reprise his role as John Wick in John Wick: Chapter 4.

Keira Knightley Ponders a Swashbuckling Comeback in the Next Pirates of the Caribbean Installment

In a recent interview with Collider,Knightley was asked about the possibility of reprising her role as Elizabeth Swann in the upcoming “Pirates of the Caribbean” films. She responded by saying that she has not yet been approached about the project, but would definitely consider it if the opportunity arises.

“I don’t know if it’s happening,” Knightley said. “I haven’t heard anything about it. But, you know, I would always be open to the idea of revisiting Elizabeth Swann. It was a huge part of my life and career, and I’m very fond of the character.”

Knightley first appeared as Elizabeth Swann in the original “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” in 2003. She continued to play the character in the following two sequels, “Dead Man’s Chest” and “At World’s End,” before sitting out the fourth installment, “On Stranger Tides.”

While Knightley’s character was not present in “On Stranger Tides,” the film still managed to gross over $1 billion worldwide. The most recent entry in the franchise, “Dead Men Tell No Tales,” was released in 2017 and also went on to earn over $794 million globally.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, which has seen its fair share of ups and downs in recent years. Johnny Depp, who played the lead role of Captain Jack Sparrow, was dropped from the series following allegations of domestic abuse. The studio has since announced that it is planning to reboot the franchise with a new cast and crew.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the future of the franchise, Knightley’s potential return to the series would undoubtedly be a welcome sight for fans. Her portrayal of Elizabeth Swann was a key factor in the success of the early “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, and her absence from the later entries was felt by many.

Knightley has remained busy in the years since her last “Pirates” film, taking on a variety of roles in both independent and big-budget productions. She has been nominated for two Academy Awards for her performances in “Pride & Prejudice” and “The Imitation Game,” and has also appeared in films such as “Atonement,” “Anna Karenina,” and “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.”

Whether or not Knightley ultimately returns to the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, her fans can look forward to seeing her in a variety of upcoming projects. She is set to star in the upcoming biographical drama “Silent Night,” as well as the action thriller “The Essex Serpent
