'The dude is a class act and little moments like this can make such a big difference in people's lives. We need more Keanus,' wrote Andrew Kimmel

Canadian actor Keanu Reeves is one of the most popular faces in Hollywood. Popularly known for playing Neo in the superhit 'Matrix' series, he is also known for being a humble, down-to-earth, and friendly guy.

Television producer Andrew Kimmel shared a picture of Reeves signing an autograph for a fan and detailed the conversation between the two on his Twitter account. "Keanu Reeves was on my flight from London to NYC today. A young boy asked for an autograph at baggage & then began to fire off a series of rapid-fire questions. Keanu happily responded to every single one..." Kimmel tweeted on Monday, July 4.

Explaining the conversation between Reeves and the fan, Kimmel wrote, "Kid: Why were you in London? KR: Filming a documentary. Kid: I saw online you were at the Grand Prix (pronouncing the x) KR: Yes, the Grand Prix (in a French accent, without correcting him). F1! Race cars! Kid: Do you drive? KR: Not F1, but I like riding motorcycles."

"Kid: Do you live in NY? KR: I live in LA. Kid: How long are you gonna be in New York? KR: Four days! No... five. Five days! Kid: Why are you in NY? KR: Gonna see a broadway show! Kid: What broadway show? KR: American Buffalo! Mamet! Kid: Where are you staying in NY? KR: Midtown!" he added.

"By this time the kid was running out of questions, so Keanu started grilling him [laughing face emoji]. Why were you in Europe? What galleries did you go to in Paris? What was your favorite?" "The man could not have been nicer, especially after an international flight. I thought I'd share this because the dude is a class act and little moments like this can make such a big difference in people's lives. We need more Keanus!" Kimmel continued.

The producer posted a selfie with the 'Speed' star and wrote, "And yes, I geeked out a little and asked for a photo. I mean... had to. Have a happy 4th everyone!"

The Twitter thread went viral as fans couldn't stop gushing over the wholesome exchange between the 57-year-old actor and the fan. One user tweeted, "The most consistently down-to-earth guy in Hollywood."

Another said, "The continuing story of Keanu Reeves' apparent mission to prove that being INCREDIBLY NICE is a real option." A third noted, "You never hear a bad thing about this man he's a treasure." A fourth asked, "We can all agree that Keanu Reeves is a global treasure and must be protected at all costs, right?" A fifth wrote, "GREAT and uplifting thread about a man known to be one of the most authentically kind, generous actors in the industry!"

While one user felt, "I never worry when I see Keanu trend. I always know I'll be smiling when I found out why," another added, "Keanu is always kindness personified but seeing him wearing a mask when he travels on a weekend filled with hordes of maskless travelers... chef's kiss [kiss face emoji]." A third commented, "In these horrific times, it's comforting to know Keanu remains an absolute treasure and a blessing."
