Keanu Reeves' Triumph Over Tragedy

Sources share Keanu Reeves’ story of incredible success — and unthinkable loss.

It’s been more than 30 years since Keanu Reeves landed his first film, but the actor is currently having a major moment. “People are absolutely obsessed with him right now,” a source says of Keanu, who’s been receiving an unexpected outpouring of love, attention and praise from fans in the wake of his hit films John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum and Toy Story 4 — not to mention his cameo in the Netflix rom-com Always Be My Maybe. “It seems like everything he touches turns to gold — he’s the new king of Hollywood!”

No one is more deserving of the title than Keanu. “He’s a movie star with exotic good looks, a booming career, a huge heart and a massive fortune, but Keanu’s life hasn’t been easy,” the source tells OK!, explaining that the private 54-year-old has dealt with unimaginable pain and loss. “Keanu doesn’t talk about his past often — which is one of the reasons that most people don’t know much about him — but it’s been incredibly difficult. Yet somehow, through it all, he’s managed to triumph and walk away stronger.”
