I met Keanu Reeves once and he was particularly cool to me.

It was at a Dogstar gig in San Diego in 2001, and I wish I could say it was because I was very witty and charismatic etc., but it's because I was the only other guy there and the 500 screaming chicks at the gig were all over his side of the stage ignoring the music and the rest of the band. I stood at the empty side and tried to listen to the music. At the end of the gig he walked past the crazy chicks all trying to touch him, reached out and his hand to me and said "Thanks man", and I (still shocked) shook it and said the first thing that came to mind, "you fucking rock man". Bit embarrassing but hey, I 'met' the man and we conversed.

P.S. I took a female friend along as a surprise and she was over at the other side in disbelief watching me touch her idol.

Keanu Reeves is the coolest guy ever, I met him twice. One time I ran into him at a bar at the W hotel in east village, he was totally chill.

A few months later my friends and I are completely sh*tfaced at 3pm on a Sunday afternoon after a long champagne brunch. We are getting a cab to a bar in the lower east side and I see Keanu Reeves (he had a very distinctive beard at the time). So we tell the cab driver to stop, jump out, and run up to him. My friend is like hey remember meeting us at W hotel (even though I was the one who met him, drunk logic I guess). He pretends to remember my friend, and we have a good 5 minute conversation with him (He was just trying to have a cup of coffee with his friend). As we leave, my friend jessica realizes she has a camera, and we run back to him again, and he was totally willing to take a photo and nice about it. We must've been so obnoxious, but he was a class act.

It's funny becase the sad keanu meme started the next day, and I was always worried my friends and I caused him to be sad.

Keanu Reeves was the goalie for my dads highschool hockey team in Toronto. My dad always had great things to say about him, he said he was a really nice guy and a fantastic goalie with dreams of going to the NHL/Olympics. I think it was an ankle injury that eventually ended his hockey career and got him into acting.
