On a relaxed episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, actor Keanu Reeves answered a series of spontaneous questions that brought many fun and surprising moments for the audience.
Jimmy Kimmel started with a question that sparked curiosity: “Have you ever met another person named Keanu?” Keanu laughed and shared, “Oh yeah, I have a cousin named Keanu too. People often say, ‘There’s already one Keanu, maybe don’t add another,’ but I actually didn’t meet him until I was about eight or nine years old. Before that, I’d never heard the name from anyone else.”
Kimmel then asked about Keanu’s nickname. Keanu revealed that people have called him different names, but one especially fun nickname comes from his middle name, Charles. “I have this one friend who always calls me Charlie,” he said, giving a glimpse of a more personal side.
Next came a rather spooky question: “Have you ever seen a ghost?” Keanu didn’t hesitate to share a strange childhood experience. When he was around six or seven, living in a new apartment in New York, he saw a jacket floating through a doorway—without any body inside it. This sight surprised him, and even the nanny confirmed it was real. Keanu admitted, “I’m not sure if it was a ghost or just a weird floating jacket, but it was definitely a reason to move!”
Jimmy kept the fun questions coming, asking if Keanu still had his tonsils. Keanu confirmed he still had both.
When asked which movie was the least fun to make, Keanu politely declined to answer, respecting all his projects. But when asked which movie was the most fun, he didn’t hesitate: “I’d choose the Matrix trilogy. That project changed my life both as an artist and as a person.”
The interview wrapped up with Jimmy inviting the audience: “Did you know there’s more on the internet than just pornography? Explore more interesting stuff on the Jimmy Kimmel Live YouTube channel — and just like your own body, I encourage you to explore.”
In summary, this spontaneous interview with Jimmy Kimmel showed fans a very down-to-earth, genuine, and humble side of Keanu Reeves — a superstar who keeps his humor, humility, and a little bit of mystery intact.
