 Keanu
Charles Reeves (born Wednesday, September 2, 1964 in Beirut,
Lebanon) is an Anglo/Canadian Hollywood film actor. Although
currently working in the United States, Reeves is a Canadian
citizen and an avid ice hockey player/fan who was his high
school team's MVP. His first name literally means "cool
breeze over the mountains" in Hawaiian. The deeper meaning
is "one who is constantly absorbed in God consciousness,"
while the magazine Time refers to him as the embodiment of
"freon-cool satori." His father is Asian American
of Chinese and Hawaiian descent and his mother is British.
Keanu was diagnosed with dyslexia
- a learning disorder he eventually overcame.
