LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Keanu Reeves, aka the "Internet's boyfriend," is making people swoon again! This time, thanks to a viral video in which he engages with a young admirer who gushes about Reeves being his "favorite actor."
"I’m such a big fan," a 9-year-old named Noah sitting across from the ‘Matrix’ actor says at the beginning of the clip posted on April 20 as the star prepares to sign the comic book "BRZRKR," according to IGN. Reeves and Matt Kindt co-wrote it, and Reeves attended a surprise signing in Los Angeles.

Reeves wins hearts
The 'John Wick' actor first asked Noah his name, and the boy later tells him, "You're probably my favorite actor in the whole world!" "Oh my gosh, Noah, thank you!" the 59-year-old responds before asking him, "Did you see Duke Caboom in ‘Toy Story 4?’"
Reeves was the voice for the animated character debuted in the 2019 film. "Yeah, he’s my favorite character," a laughing Noah said as Reeves launched into an impression of the overly confident action figure, proclaiming, "Canada’s greatest stuntman!" "Well, I’m glad you liked it," Reeves said. "I really liked playing Duke Caboom."
"#ILoveKeanuReeves," one person commented with a heart emoji, while another wrote, "I want to be like Keanu. In every way." A third wrote with several heart emoji, "Me too Noah, me too. Keanu Reeves is the best. You have picked the nicest and kindest actor for your favorite. So young & wise beyond words." "The legend that is Keanu just continues to grow," said another, adding "The world needs more people like Keanu."
‘You’re breathtaking’
Reeves has been singled out for his charity several times, including engaging in a discussion with another teenage admirer who approached him at a baggage claim and attending the wedding of an English couple who invited him on the spur of the moment while conversing at a hotel bar.

Also, four years ago, while they were filming in the region, he was spotted putting a note on a Louisiana fan's yard that stated "You're breathtaking!" He also ended up photographing the family.
