The couple moved to Toronto; they divorced in Reeves' mother married Robert Miller, a rock promoter, in ; the couple divorced in She subsequently married her fourth husband, Jack Bond, a hairdresser, a marriage that broke up in Grandparents and nannies babysat Reeves and his sisters, and Reeves grew up primarily in Toronto. Within a span of five years, he attended four different high schools, including the Etobicoke School of the Arts, from which he was later expelled.
Reeves stated he was expelled " I was just a little too rambunctious and shot my mouth off once too often. I was not generally the most well-oiled machine in the school. I was just getting in their way, I guess. This is where Keanu and his sister ended up growing up and later got Canadian citizenship.
Due to this, he got expelled from three different high schools in Toronto, later dropping out of the fourth one to pursue his acting career instead. After some acting jobs on Canadian television and in various theatres in Toronto, Keanu decided to pursue his career more seriously in the United States. The two got married in but got divorced a year later in Toronto. His ex-stepfather then helped Keanu get a green card to become a permanent resident in the United States so he could move to Los Angeles.
Home Keanu Reeves. Is Keanu Reeves Lebanese? What would happen if you melted? You know, you never really hear this talked about much, but spontaneous combustion? It exists! Except sometimes his teeth. Or the heart. No one speaks about this, but its for real. When I don't feel free and can't do what I want I just react. I go against it. I'm a meathead, man. You've got smart people, and you've got dumb people. I just happen to be dumb. It's easy to become very self-critical when you're an actor.
Then you get critiqued be the critics. Whether you agree with them or not, people are passing judgment on you. I mean really wonderful. In teaching. Personal epiphanies. About life.
About a different perspective -- help with different perspectives that you have. You know what I mean? Relationships to nature. Relationships with the self. With other people. With events. Here comes I'm feeling my age and I've ordered the Ferrari.
I'm going to get the whole mid-life crisis package. It's always wonderful to get to know women, with the mystery and the joy and the depth.
If you can make a woman laugh, you're seeing the most beautiful thing on God's Earth. Kids are doing drugs everywhere in the world. He had his own very personal problems I will never discuss with the press. They're just way too personal. River had a self-destructive side to his personality. He was angry and hurt that he couldn't have a private life once he became famous.
He just couldn't deal with having his private life on the front page all the time. I miss him every day. We were driving in a car on Santa Monica Boulevard, probably on the way to a club, and were talking really fast about the whole idea. We were excited. It could have been like a bad dream, a dream that never follows through because no one commits, but we just forced ourselves into it.
We said, "Okay, I'll do it if you do it. I won't do it if you don't. That was it. Patrick, he just wanted to experience life and, for his work, he wanted to take the opportunity of the film and it gave him that sense. There was some sky diving sequences in this film we did together and as filming was going on it came to be that Patrick was jumping out of airplanes all the time. I think he had over 30 jumps during the course of filming and so the production served him with a cease and desist which he listened to until they got to Hawaii.
He jumps out of planes and did the flips and falling to the ground and he did it with an open heart. I'll always remember his buddy for lighting up a room with his presence. I can say what I know that he lived life to the fullest. I like being in the desert, in nature, being in extraordinary spaces in nature, high in a tree or in the dirt, hanging out with my family, my sisters.
I don't even have a house house, but I have been living in the same place in Los Angeles for a couple of years and it's just now becoming a home. I like to be free and unfettered. I like the option of being able to do anything and go anywhere, anytime. I like to have my house open. A lot of my friends have keys to my houses and I like to have everything, you know, 'What's mine is yours,' and to drink wine, talk and hang out.
Right after I finished Dracula , I went to Paris to visit a couple of friends, shipped over one of my Norton's, my '72 with California plates, and just hung out for two-and-a-half weeks. My Own Private Idaho had just opened at a theater right near my friend's house where I was staying.
I got stopped by a couple of American students who'd seen it and they bought me a beer. I had miraculous weather, so it didn't rain on my parade. Then, I went to New York to visit friends, sat down, hung out, and the same sort of thing happened there. So, do I want more movies that lead to experiences like that? Yes, please. I was terrified. I just read some of Jim Morrison 's poetry and listened to some of his music and did what I could.
Up to now, my only real choices have been: 'Hmmmm, an audition, go or not go? I met with Francis Ford Coppola three times before he asked me if I wanted to play the part in Dracula As an actor, you only have your responsibility to your role within the whole, and the director has a responsibility to the whole and you in it. So it's a different mindset. And you're literally, physically, in two different spaces.
There's lots of subterfuge and conspiracy theories. There's a whole thing I might have to do one of those independent press, conspiracy, other-name kind of [statements] explaining why it hasn't happened yet, because it's pretty dark out there There is [a script].
There's all sorts of stuff and it just can't - it's just - there's darkness out there that's keeping it from happening It's that part of the story where it's looking grim. It's the dark period of the idea! It's called Speed and it's on a cruise ship. Well, I decided not to be in that. I loved working with Jan de Bont and Sandra, of course. It was just a situation in life where I got the script and I read the script and I was like "ugggghhh". The loss of their daughter devastated the couple and caused the end of their relationship.
Two years later, Jennifer was involved in a fatal car accident where she rammed into three cars and was thrown out of her vehicle. It was later reported she was on anti-depressant medication.
