Keanu Reeves Facts

Keanu Reeves is afraid of the dark.

Keanu Reeves quietly donated millions to children's hospitals and cancer research throughout his career, rarely publicizing his contributions. He also devoted years to supporting his sister Kim during her decade-long battle with leukemia, which she overcame in the early 2000s.

Keanu Reeves was set to earn over $200 million from The Matrix sequels. He gave $75 million of it to the special effects and costume crews. His reason? "They were the ones who made the movie." Then he bought every stunt performer a custom Harley Davidson.

When his sister Kim was diagnosed with leukemia in 1991, Keanu Reeves put his career on hold, sold his home to move closer to her, and spent a decade cooking her meals, cleaning her house, and personally administering her medications. Kim told PEOPLE magazine in 1995: "My brother is my prince." She survived.
