The 58-year-old actor is a man with many, many talents; not only starring as legendary hitman John Wick in the epic action thriller franchise, but also co-creating and co-writing comic book series BRZRKR, alongside Matt Kindt – oh, and even 2021’s Sexiest Man Alive thought the title should’ve been given to him instead.

The comic follows an immortal warrior called Berzerker and is the biggest single selling issue since Star Wars in 2015, as per CBR.

During a book signing for the latest issue, a nine-year-old super fan showed up to see his ‘favourite actor’ and his exchange with Reeves is one of the most wholesome things you’ll see this week.

In footage shared to social media by IGN, the nine-year-old can be seen coming up to Reeves, who is sat behind a desk.

As he approaches the actor, the nine-year-old bursts out saying: “I’m such a big fan!”

Reeves then asks the young boy for his name – ‘Noah’ – before introducing himself too – as if Noah doesn’t already know.

Noah quickly adds: “You’re probably my favourite actor in the whole world!”

Beaming back at the nine-year-old, Reeves says: “Oh my gosh, Noah, thank you!”

Noah then gets a mini quiz, with the actor asking him whether he saw Duke Caboom – the stuntman toy in Toy Story 4 voiced by Reeves.

“Yeah, he’s my favourite character!” Noah replies, proving his status as a true super fan of Reeves’.

He is then rewarded by Reeves with an impression of the toy and the Matrix star notes how much he ‘really liked’ playing Duke Caboom before signing his autograph for the nine-year-old.

And fans of the actor have flocked to social media in adoration over Reeves’ reaction to the nine-year-old.

One Twitter user said: “I want to be like Keanu. In every way.”

“The legend that is Keanu, just continues to grow,” another commented.

A third wrote: “My heart, I needed this. Man is such a legend!”

“This restores my faith in humanity… Keanu restores faith in humanity. He should be the one the younger generation follows and looks up to,” one YouTube user added.

And a final resolved: “His enthusiasm has never faltered over all these years, every video I’ve seen of him he maintains the same amount of passion, excitement, and kindness for anyone and anything.

“We should all be like Keanu: a legend of the highest order.”
