Keanu Reeves is a popular Canadian action star and alleged actor with [[DullSurprise very little range of facial or dialogue emotion]], but a very precise and expressive physical style of acting. But none of that really matters because he knows Kung Fu.

He gained minor [[MemeticMutation memetic status]] on a [[{{Imageboards}} certain website]] after they discovered [[TearJerker his history]] of being one of the biggest [[TheWoobie Woobies]] in Hollywood. [[http://i.imgur.com/2fonu.jpg Sniff.]] [[labelnote:explanation]]He has had a rough life with hardly knowing his dad, his daughter was stillborn and the mother died in a car accident a few years later. He also lives very conservatively and tends to donate most of his salary to charity. Various pictures show him looking sad and contemplative, contrasting the idea that he is [[TheStoic a stoic]].[[/labelnote]]. Unsurprisingly, he is annoyed by the attention this has garnered him, though he's also stated that he found the Sad Keanu meme funny.

** A very ''very'' common way of parodying his later works is to have him acting like Ted from ''Bill and Ted'' rather than his usual monotone. For example, from ''WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment'':
--> '''Neo''': Whoa! I'm, like, totally being sodomised by Big Daddy's drill! ''Bogus!''

Garnered considerable and surprising acclaim for his role in the 2012 documentary film "Side by Side".

Popularly believed to be dumb (most likely due to his [[BillAndTedsExcellentAdventure breakout role]] and shyness in interviews), he is actually ridiculously well-read and contemplative. He often talks about the philosophical meaning he sees in his characters, even the silly ones. He's also famous as an incredibly NiceGuy and purportedly one of the most normal, well-adjusted people in Hollywood. How far this is based on fact, only his friends can say, but one possible translation of his first name is "[[AwesomeMcCoolName The Coolness]]", so...
