Keanu Reeves isn’t your ordinary celebrity. Far from it. The way he charms people can teach us how to brand ourselves in 2020.

Keanu Reeves is a famous actor around the world. Known for movies such as ‘The Matrix’, John Wick, just to name a couple… the list goes on and on.

It’s not only his acting skills and good looks, but everyone loves him. The main reason? Because he’s such a humble and down to earth person.

He’s the opposite of your typical celebrity.

Do you know any celebrity that takes the subway? Or flies economy class? Or takes a walk in the park and enjoys his sandwich on the park bench?

I would never have thought it was possible, but Keanu Reeves does all these seemingly “ordinary” things.

That’s right. That’s Keanu Reeves taking the subway in New York. Just like everyone else.

Despite his success and millions in the bank, he doesn’t drive a fancy car. Instead, he commutes using public transportation.

So what does he do with all his money?

He gives most of it away to charity and to help others in need. After the Matrix movies made more than $1 billion in the box office, Keanu took home an estimated $75 million.

He gave each member of the FX and costume teams $1 million. And he also gifted the entire stunt team Harley Davidson motorbikes.

Who wouldn’t love this man? He’s so humble, generous, famous but doesn’t care about his fame.

He should be a role model for all the celebrities out there. That just because you’ve found fame and success, you shouldn’t forget about the ordinary things.

Hope this has been an interesting read!
