Hollywood star Keanu Reeves isn't known as one of the nicest celebrities in Hollywood for nothing. The actor previously gave gifts to his co-actors and crew members. During one of such instances, he gifted Harley Davidson motorcycles to over a dozen stuntmen involved in "The Matrix Reloaded" in 2003.
The "John Wick" actor also gave out personalized Rolex Watches to the stunt crew of his "John Wick: Chapter 4." The watches were just below $10,000, and all had personalized messages from the actor to the team.
According to the tweets by TV producer Andrew Kimmel, Reeves encountered a fan after a stressful flight to New York. In pure Reeves fashion, he indulged the young fan by answering all his questions and asking a few of his own.
Keanu Reeves Saw A Fan At The Airport
Reeves recently landed in New York and made the day of an excited young fan. According to some tweets posted on Monday by Kimmel, the actor shared a pleasant conversation with a fan after his plane ride.
The TV producer recounted the event and commended Reeves for indulging the young boy. He wrote, "Keanu Reeves was on my flight from London to NYC today," he wrote. "A young boy asked for an autograph at baggage & then began to fire off a series of rapid-fire questions. Keanu happily responded to every single one."
The eager fan asked questions concerning why Reeves was in London and if he attended the British Grand Prix held during the weekend. The actor revealed that he was in the city "filming a documentary" and yes, he had attended the British Grand Prix. "F1! Race cars," Kimmel wrote.

The Tv producer further revealed that during his interrogation, the boy asked the 57-year-old if he currently lived in New York. Reeves responded that his home was in LA (Los Angeles). The fan went on to ask why he was in New York and how long he would be in the Big Apple.
He asked, "How long are you gonna be in New York?" Reeves responded, "Four days! No… five. Five days!" replied Reeves before adding, "Gonna see a broadway show!" He later mentioned that the show was "American Buffalo" by David Mamet.
Kimmel continued, "By this time, the kid was running out of questions, so Keanu started grilling him." The actor reportedly asked, "Why were you in Europe? What galleries did you go to in Paris? What was your favorite?"
The Twitter user concluded by saying that Reeves "could not have been nicer" and then shared a selfie he took with the "Matrix" actor. "I thought I'd share this because the dude is a class act, and little moments like this can make such a big difference in people's lives. We need more Keanus!"
Reeves Gifted Stuntmen Motorcycles
Besides being known as a talented actor, Reeves is also famous for his generosity and all-round niceness. The actor previously even extended his generosity to his co-stars by gifting them presents after filming.
Reeves reportedly gave the 12 stuntmen that worked with him in "The Matrix Reloaded" Harley Davidson motorcycles. When asked about it in a 2003 interview with the Seattle Post Intelligencer, he admitted that he wanted to say thank you to the men who helped him make "one of the great movie fights" ever.
"We were all in this thing, and we were training together beforehand," the actor said. "I just wanted ... to give a bigger thank-you to all these guys who helped me make this, I think, one of the great movie fights in the history of cinema."
Keanu Reeves Gave His Stunt Team Rolex Watches
The stunt team of "The Matrix" wasn't the only crew that got gifts from the actor. After filming "John Wick: Chapter 4," Reeves reportedly gave the team personalized Rolex Submariner Watches after the film wrapped up shooting.
He invited them to a dinner in Paris and then rose a toast to their efforts. According to Vanity Fair, each personalized Rolex watch cost just below $10,000. The stunt crew members included Bruce Concepcion, Jeremy Marinas, Li Qiang and Dave Camarillo. The Rolex also had unique messages from the actor.
