Hi my friends! I want to talk about Keanu Charles Reeves in this article.He is a very succesful actor.He is Canadian but in reality he was born in Beirut, Lebanon, September 2, 1964. His mother is English.She was working in Lebanon when she met Keanu's father.He is Hawaiian but his nationality is Chinese.Keanu has three nationalities.He moved to different places until he became an adult.

His school life started in Toronto,Canada then his mother married her third husband.He was in hockey team of school.And he was interested in theatre.He worked in several jobs after school.He acted in some Canadian TV shows.He moved to Los Angeles after he acted in the film Youngblood.One of his first films in Hollywood was Bill and Ted's Excelent Adventure.He workd very hard in Hollywood.He was a workaholic.So he acted in "River's Edge" in 1987, "Dangerous Laisons", "The Night Before", "Permanent Record" and "The Prince of Pennsylvania" in 1988, "Parenthood" and "Life underwater and that Adventure" in 1989.
