Keeanu Reeves
He was abandoned by his father at 3 years old and grew up with 3 different stepfathers. He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident.
His best friend, River Phoenix, died of an overdose. His sister has leukemia.
And with everything that has happened, Keanu Reeves never misses an opportunity to help people in need.
When he was filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants; One cried because he would lose his house if he did not pay $ 20,000 and on the same day Keanu deposited the necessary amount in the woman's bank account;
He also donated stratospheric sums to hospitals.
In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu walked into a bakery and bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.
After winning astronomical sums for the Matrix trilogy, the actor donated more than $ 50 million to the staff who handled the costumes and special effects - the true heroes of the trilogy, as he called them.
He also gave a Harley-Davidson to each of the stunt doubles. A total expense of several million dollars. And for many successful films, he has even given up 90% of his salary to allow the production to hire other stars.
In 1997 some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours.
Most stars when they make a charitable gesture they declare it to all the media. He has never claimed to be doing charity, he simply does it as a matter of moral principles and not to look better in the eyes of others.
This man could buy everything, and instead every day he gets up and chooses one thing that cannot be bought: Be a good person.
“No comment” is all that was said by the attorney representing the City of Wetumpka, Alabama after the city quietly told a judge they didn’t want to further pursue charges against two women who were feeding cats, but only after the city arrested charged prosecuted & punished those women because they were FEEDING CATS. The city tried to make an example out of these women to punish them for feeding neutering and then returning the cats to their nautical habitat. That is part of a public service program that happens nationally called TNR. By the way, the women were feeding cats on public property. Not private. The city told the women to stop. The women continued to feed cats. Then police threatened them with trespassing charges if they didn’t stop. There is no law against feeding cats in the city of Wetumpka. But in Wetumpka feeding cats became a crime for which these two elderly women were dragged before a judge (That the city hired and who prayed with the prosecutor and the witnesses before finding the women guilty) and convicted in city court. The women appealed. They wanted jury trial. Apparently the city didn’t think they’d win, because as the case was approaching trial, the city decided to cut and run. No apology to the women. No statement as to why they decided to drop everything. Just “no comment, thank you” from the city attorney when I asked why the city is bowing out.
