Keanu Reeves Overview:
Keanu Charles Reeves, whose first name means “cool breeze within the mountains” in Hawaiian, was born September 2, 1964 in Beirut, Lebanon. He is the son of Patricia Taylor, a showgirl and costume designer, and Samuel Nowlin Reeves, a geologist. Keanu’s dad came to be in Hawaii, of British, Portuguese, Indigenous Hawaiian, and Chinese ancestry, and Keanu’s mother is formerly from England. After his parents’ relationship mixed, Keanu transferred together with his mother and younger cousin, Ellie Reeves, to New York City, then Toronto.
Stepfather #1 was Paul Aaron, an even and film director – he and Patricia divorced in just a year, and it she continued to marry (and divorce) rock promoter Robert Miller and hair salon owner Jack Bond. Reeves never reconnected together with his organic father. In senior high school, Reeves was lukewarm toward academics but took a willing interest in snow tennis (as group goalie, he acquired the nickname “The Wall”) and drama. He ultimately slipped out of school to pursue an working career.
