Keanu

Pensé que ya había hecho un post sobre Keanu, pero se ve que lo soñé(?)

Es uno de los actores que mejor me cae (protagonista en Matrix, mi película favorita), y más se sobre su persona, aún mejor me sigue cayendo.

Podría poner los hechos que hacen a Keanu una gran persona, actor, o lo que sea, pero la verdad me chupa un huevo.

A lo que quiero enfocar es a la capacidad de este tipo para salir adelante después de tener una vida TAN de mierda.

Acá una lista con los acontecimientos más trágicos de su vida:

• His first name means "the coldness".
• Hardcore Buddhist.
• Dad abandoned the family when he was 3, never reconnected with him.
• Mom was a showgirl.
• Had a long string of stepfathers, constantly moving.
• Different high schools.
• Dyslexic.
• Had a keen interest in hockey but the Olympic dream ended after an injury.
• Dropped out of high school to become an actor.
• His daughter died stillborn.
• Girlfriend died in a car crash after being plied with drugs by Marilyn Manson.
• His best friend is his sister...she's dying of leukemia.
• His remaining money probably pays for her medical bills.
• Never married.
• His best friend (River Phoenix) died of...drugs?
• Avoids most relationships.
• Turns down big roles if he believes the character's too violent.
• Gave $50 million to the crew of the Matrix.
• Donates most of his money to charities for cancer research.
• Took a 90% pay cut on his salary on The Replacements (2000) 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 (1997).
• Gives most of his earnings to charity and the backstage people who help on the set.
• Is quite humble when he speaks of himself, quoted saying: "I'm a meathead, man. You've got smart people, and you've got dumb people. I just happen to be dumb." - Keanu
• He owns a house in Qualicum Beach, Vancouver Island BC, Canada and is reported to have said "I like your chicken" to a employee at the local grocery store

Te Quiero Keanu! :3
