Reeves rose to fame in the '80s and '90s with roles in "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure," "The Matrix" franchise, and "Speed."
The actor's popularity has seen a resurgence in 2019 with the reprisal of his lead role in "John Wick 3," his meme-worthy performance in Netflix's "Always Be My Maybe," and "Toy Story 4," in which he voices a toy named Duke Caboom.
Acting aside, Reeves also caught the attention of fans when he was named as the new face of Saint Laurent, went on a road trip in Bakersfield, California with stranded passengers after their flight made an emergency landing, and bought ice cream just so he could autograph the receipt for a young fan.
Most recently, fans dubbed Reeves a "respectful king" after realizing that he doesn't touch women when posing for photos.
