EntertainmentKeanu Reeves shared a sweet interaction with a young fan at the airport.- TV producer Andrew Kimmel overheard and shared a series of tweets about the interaction on Monday.
Keanu Reeves is known for his heartwarming and kind interactions with random people, and the actor's latest exchange with a young fan is already going viral on Twitter.
TV producer Andrew Kimmel shared a series of tweets on Monday night detailing Reeves' interaction with a boy at baggage claim, after the three of them were on the same flight from London to New York.
"A young boy asked for an autograph at baggage & then began to fire off a series of rapid-fire questions. Keanu happily responded to every single one," Kimmel captioned a photo of Reeves and the fan (both wearing masks) chatting at baggage claim.
Kimmel then included some of the questions the boy asked Reeves, as well as the actor's thoughtful and enthusiastic responses.
According to the producer, after asking Reeves which show he was going to see in New York (the David Mamet play "American Buffalo," which stars Darren Criss, Sam Rockwell, and Reeves' "Matrix" costar Laurence Fishburne), the young fan began "running out of questions," so Reeves began "grilling him" in return.
"The man could not have been nicer, especially after an international flight," Kimmel wrote. "I thought I'd share this because the dude is a class act and little moments like this can make such a big difference in people's lives."
"We need more Keanus!" he concluded.
The producer also revealed that he "geeked out a little" and asked Reeves for a photo of his own. When reached by Insider via Twitter DM, Kimmel said that the "John Wick" star was very "kind" when approached for a photo, and even asked Kimmel if he should keep his mask on for the photo op.
"I saw him in the lounge in London and quietly freaked out… there are very few celebs I'd ever even think of bothering," Kimmel told Insider. "After hearing this exchange and seeing others ask for a photo I decided why not and asked as well."
Reeves is known for his heartwarming interactions with fans and overall generous attitude, and has been praised for giving up his seat on a crowded subway train, and helping fellow stranded passengers after their flight made an unexpected landing, among other gestures.
