Keanu Reeves, one of the most brilliant actors of our time, celebrates his 60th birthday on September 2. This charismatic and extraordinary man had a difficult path before becoming a world-class movie star.

Born in Beirut in 1964, Reeves experienced a difficult family situation from childhood - his parents divorced when the boy was only 3 years old. Together with his mother, a costume designer, he moved from Australia to New York, until they finally settled in Toronto. It was there that Keanu took his first steps in acting, starring in commercials and small projects.

Reeves' breakthrough roles came with roles in teen comedies in the late '80s, especially in the sci-fi series “Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure”. However, it was films like “Speed” and the seminal “The Matrix” in 1999 that brought him real worldwide fame. Despite his dizzying success, Keanu has managed to maintain the modesty and genuine kindness that his fans value so much.

Reeves has enjoyed a renaissance in recent years, returning to the big screen as the charismatic hitman John Wick, a role that has only cemented Keanu's reputation as one of the most talented and versatile actors working today.
