Actors and controversies are two sides of the same coin. It's hard for celebrities to escape press scrutiny, and with various social media platforms, almost everything gets dissected by fans.

However, a few celebrities are in the news only because of their demeanour, down-to-earth nature, and how they treat people around them.

One actor who tops this list is a fan favourite: Keanu Reeves. 

Keanu is currently basking in the massive success of John Wick: Chapter 4. 

He exemplifies what it is to be both successful and a great person. A video of him helping move equipment on the John Wick set is currently trending on Reddit, and the world can't get enough of his generous gesture.

As a video showing Keanu Reeves helping the John Wick 4 crew move equipment went viral, the actor was hailed as a "gem of a person."

The 2021 video shows the actor carrying two crates of props up a flight of stairs on the set of his action film. 

The video resurfaced from an old tweet by scriptwriter Todd Spence. 

Keanu's contribution has been praised by fans, who have called him a "gem" and said that the planet needs more people like him. 

Reacting to the clip, one fan wrote: 'That's why he is still called a gem of a person.'


'The vast majority of celebs will just sit in their trailer and be waited on until their scene is ready.' 

'He helps out, gives and does all he can above what any actor, even in a Z-list film, would be thanked for doing.' 

Another comment reads, 'People in words going off about how this should be the standard. 'I worked in the film industry for a long time: it is not. Credit where credit is due. Keanu Reeves is doing a good thing.

'Most A-list celebs hide in their trailers waiting to see which PA will score drugs.'  

But, not everyone was charmed over by the clip, with some worrying that his assistance may jeopardize the movie's production.

One person said: 'Old people are always doing this s**t and then hurting themselves, and someone else always gets blamed.

Keanu previously said that John Wick is his favourite role, surpassing Speed and the Matrix.

'It's a fun character to have that, you know, that John Wick kinda thing,' he said. 

'I mean, I think the film is really epic, and I love playing the role,' he continued. 'I love the John Wick world.' 

The Point Break actor also said it's "cool" and "kind" for fans to call John Wick: Chapter 4 one of the greatest action movies.

The first John Wick film starred Reeves as the assassin.

"Training before the training" and a "John Wick toolbox" are needed to play John Wick, according to Reeves.

Keanu said he worked with the film's stunt coordinator on the mix of "judo, jiu-jitsu and weapons manipulation," or gun-fu.

Will Reeve of Good Morning America asked him whether he feels his age while doing the role's complicated stunts.

The fourth John Wick film "got me closer," he added. He said,' I'm definitely feelin' the age,' he explained that he's 'more experienced' and therefore 'more efficient' in tackling the action than he was when starting.
