RELATED STORIES
Keanu Reeves has been keeping himself busy these days.
On the heels of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum’s success, he also made a brilliant cameo in Always Be My Maybe .
He’s changing lanes for his next project.
He’ll be featured in the upcoming game “Cyberpunk 2077,” and fans are beyond excited about it.
He made a surprise appearance at the 2019 E3 — Electronic Entertainment Expo — conference.
Naturally, he was there to introduce said video game.
He seemed really excited about it.
No, like he was buzzing .
2019 has been good to Keanu, and Keanu has been good to 2019.
Keanu started talking about the video game.
“The feeling of being there, of walking the streets of the future, is really going to breathtaking,” he told the crowd.
That’s when a kind-spirited heckler shouted back, “you’re breathtaking!”
Keanu laughed as the audience cheered, obviously agreeing with the sentiment.
Because hello, it’s Keanu. Obviously he’s breathtaking.
“You’re breathtaking!” he shouted back.
“You’re all breathtaking!” he added, before kindly asking the audience to stop cheering so he could finish his speech.
It was pretty adorable.
Honestly, just watch for yourself and see what we mean.
And warning : if you haven’t yet fallen in love with Keanu, get ready for that to change.
Who was the complimentary heckler?
His name is Peter Sark, and he’s a gaming YouTuber with 3 million views and 5 thousand subscribers (although after this, he’s likely to gain quite a few more.)
For his contribution to this iconic moment, the creators of the game offered him a little gift.
That is a pretty cool reward, but what he responded with is something Keanu himself would be very proud of.
He asked them to make a donation to a charity instead.
A GO-Kart, or Gamers Outreach Kart, is a portable video game kiosk built specifically for hospital use. Each kart helps nurses and child life specialists easily provide bedside recreation to children unable to leave their rooms in hospitals.
Keanu himself is famous for his charity work.
He’s been secretly donating millions to children’s hospitals and cancer research for years. He’s said , “I have a private foundation that’s been running for five or six years, and it helps aid a couple of children’s hospitals and cancer research.”
“I don’t like to attach my name to it, I just let the foundation do what it does.”
It looks like Keanu would definitely approve of this donation, and so did the gaming world at large. Everywhere Keanu goes, good things and great charity work seems to follow!
