nah, his life sucks, you can read about his life on internet.......

Really? where.. please point me in the right direction because I have failed again and again to find the reason to why he is sad and his life sucks.

I find the hipocracy staggering, ok sad keanu isnt on the same level as 9/11 but all you "people" are laughing at someone who has had so much crap in his life who is obviously depressed but as soon as someone mocks up a fake 9/11 picture you all get all high and mighty about it?

Ridiculous.

Well said. Looks like I'm not the only one to rep you for your comment.

"He took a 90 percent pay cut on The Replacements just so Gene Hackman could be cast. Previously, he had deferred 2 million of his salary so that Al Pacino could be cast on The Devil?s Advocate. Even then, he gives most of his earnings to charity and the backstage crew/people who help on the set."

if this really is true, my opinion of him just went WAY up.

damn they removed the facebook event page

here's the whole story

He was born Keanu Charles Reeves on the 2nd of September, 1964, in Beirut. His father Samuel Nowlin Reeves, a part-Chinese part-Hawaiian geologist had married English showgirl Patricia Taylor there, the couple having met after he'd seen her performing at a nightclub. His name, Keanu, is Hawaiian for "cool breeze over the mountains". Well, literally-speaking it means "the coolness", but the fancy extension is forgivable. We all need a little more poetry in our lives, don't we?

His parents' marriage would not last for long. Within a couple of years of Keanu's birth, they'd moved to Australia, had a daughter (Kim) and divorced. Samuel would return to Hawaii, while Patricia would take the kids to New York. Here she would meet and marry the stage and film director Paul Aaron (he'd later direct Chuck Norris in Force Of One and Glenn Close in Maxie), who'd shift the family to Toronto, where they'd all take Canadian citizenship. Sadly, this marriage wouldn't last either, with Patricia later marrying rock promoter Robert Miller, who'd give Keanu a half-sister, Karina. He'd also help Patricia into a new career as a costume designer for pop stars such as David Bowie and Dolly Parton.

Later still would come fourth husband Jack Bond, owner of a hair salon, though she'd divorce him, too, in 1994.

. Growing up in the bohemian section of Toronto, Keanu spent the years between kindergarten and 8th Grade at Jesse Ketchum Public School. After that, things became a little more complicated. Not keen on academic pursuits, he much preferred sports to lessons, particularly ice hockey. Excelling as goalkeeper, he became known as "The Wall" and would be voted his school's MVP. His various stepfathers would make his upbringing more interesting than the norm - the young Keanu would attend Jewish summer camp and wrestle with Alice Cooper.

There'd also be Drama. As said, Keanu was not a happy bunny in class. Teachers would recall him forever forgetting his books or homework. When called up on it, he'd just smile and go fetch them. Indeed later, with his usual self-deprecation, he'd jokingly comment "I'm a meat-head man. You've got smart people and you've got dumb people. I just happen to be dumb". Instead, he found true pleasure in the adrenaline of live performance. By 14, he'd already decided on a theatrical career, and began to seek work in adverts and shows on Canadian TV. In 1979, he made his professional acting debut in Hanging In, a comedy set in a youth counselling centre. He played a tough street kid, his first line on screen being "Hey, lady, can I use the shower?"

By the next year he'd also scored a high-profile part dancing in a Coke ad. The company would employ him again in 1983 when he played a youngster whose disappointment at losing a bike race is tempered when his beloved father hands him a Coke. There'd also be an appearance on behalf of Kellogg's. Laying out a long breakfast table, Keanu would set out boxes of corn flakes then, overcome by temptation, would pour himself a bowl and eat them with near-orgasmic delight. This would be his first major paycheque.

Of course, this career would not make normal classes any more interesting for the young boy and he'd attend no fewer than four different High Schools, including La Salle and the Toronto School for the Performing Arts. Finally dropping out at 17, he began to pursue a theatrical career in earnest, supporting himself by sharpening ice skates and working as a pasta chef and tree cutter. He made his stage debut proper in a workshop production called For Adults Only, based on the real-life abduction of young women in Toronto. Next came another student show when he played a preppy fellow in Holding Someone Holding Me, a production put on in a converted downtown morgue. There'd also be a minor production of The Crucible, he'd play Mercutio in Romeo And Juliet and he'd co-host one season of kids' show Going Great, alongside Megan Follows, who'd later score an ongoing TV hit as Anne of Green Gables.

That seems more like a biography than the story telling you why he is sad at the current time :/

the story was written on facebook page, but it is removed now :(

maybe because the event is over now...

    • Sorry to be that guy but, Given Trump won again even after a failed first term it would appear attacking the other side is how to gain Government in America. Voters when it came down to it didn't give a s**t about those Democratic achievements and voted for Trump over an intelligent, qualified mixed race woman. We need to face up to this uncomfortable reality. There are more Americacan voters who support racism and christian bigotry along with defending and supporting pedophilia, adjudicated rapists, multiple time convicted felons etc than those who don't. Btw, that is how the world sees America now. Not that Trump voters care as they attempt to cocoon themselves in a white supremacy bubble.
    • That's not clickbait. Clickbait is headlines like, "You'll never guess what this person looks like now" for example. For goodness sake, take a look around the internet if you think this is clickbait. How do sites survive if people don't click through to articles? How many people in all honesty would have clicked this if it had your suggested headline? You and those upvoting your post won't be happy until the web is a couple of hundred websites all behind a paywall.
