The best actors are the ones who remember that kindness is a virtue. One actor has consistently proven himself to be one of the most beloved actors in the world currently. And it doesn’t appear to be changing any time soon.
It was his simple, but sweet interaction with a young fan that garnered him his latest praise.
Keanu Reeves delighted fans once again when a clip of him meeting a young boy went viral on social media. During a signing for his new comic book series “BRZRKR” at Golden Apple Comics in Los Angeles, Calif., Reeves met a 9-year-old named Noah who was overjoyed to meet his favorite actor.
In the video, Noah can be seen approaching Reeves as he signs an autograph for him.
I’m such a big fan,” Noah said as he steps up to where Reeves is sitting.
“You’re probably my favorite actor in the whole world! You’re the best,” Noah gushes.
Reeves responds to Noah’s kind words with gratitude, saying “Oh, my gosh, Noah, thank you. Did you see Duke Caboom in ‘Toy Story 4’?”
“Yeah!” Noah answered, laughing. “He’s my favorite character!”

“He signed my comic book, and then he said ‘hi’ to me and then he asked me if I saw Duke Caboom, and then he did Duke Caboom for me,” Noah saidin the video.
Noah’s enthusiasm for Reeves is contagious, and the young fan’s excitement over meeting his favorite actor is a reminder of how powerful and impactful celebrities can be in the lives of their fans.
The BRZRKR series, which Reeves co-wrote with Matt Kindt and features artist Ron Garney, was released in 2021 and marks Keanu’s comic book writing debut. The limited, twelve-issue series follows the story of B, a half-mortal, half-God who begins working for the U.S. government in order to learn his true origins.
Reeves’ generosity and kindness towards his fans is just one of the many reasons why he has become such a beloved figure in popular culture. As one Twitter user put it, “His enthusiasm has never faltered over all these years, every video I’ve seen of him he maintains the same amount of passion, excitement, and kindness for anyone and anything.”
