Keanu Reeves being praised as ‘respectful king’ online
The “internet’s boyfriend,” also known as Keanu Reeves, is making people swoon again over a viral clip in which he bonds with a young fan who gushes over his “favorite actor.”
“I’m such a big fan,” a 9-year-old named Noah sitting across from the “Matrix” actor says at the beginning of the clip posted Tuesday as the star prepares to sign the comic book “BRZRKR,” according to IGN. It’s co-written by Reeves and Matt Kindt, and Reeves appeared at a surprise signing in Los Angeles.
Reeves asks Noah his name, and the boy informs him, “You’re probably my favorite actor in the whole world!”
“Oh my gosh, Noah, thank you!” the 59-year-old responds before asking him, “Did you see Duke Caboom in ‘Toy Story 4?’”

Reeves voiced the animated character introduced in the 2019 film.
“Yeah, he’s my favorite character,” a laughing Noah said as Reeves launched into an impression of the overly confident action figure, proclaiming, “Canada’s greatest stuntman!”
“Well, I’m glad you liked it,” Reeves said. “I really liked playing Duke Caboom.”
“#ILoveKeanuReeves,” one person commented with a heart emoji, while another wrote, “I want to be like Keanu. In every way.”
A third wrote with several heart emoji, “Me too Noah, me too. Keanu Reeves is the best. You have picked the nicest and kindest actor for your favorite. So young & wise beyond words.”
