LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Keanu Reeves is simply a gift that keeps giving. The Hollywood megastar has proven time and again that he's one of the nicest guys in show business. This time, he won hearts after being filmed helping the production crew carry equipment up some stairs on set.

The sweet moment took place on the sets of 'John Wick: Chapter 4' while the star was filming the highly anticipated sequel of the action franchise. In the clip, Reeves, 58, was seen holding two boxes of items that he carried upstairs on the film set. The footage was shared on Twitter by screenwriter Todd Spence, showing the A-lister helping out the crew when he could.

The clip was originally uploaded in October 2021 but has gone viral once again and garnered millions of views following the film's release over the weekend.

'The guy is just a good fella!'

Fans were in awe of Reeves, describing the star as an "awesome guy" and saying there should be more celebrities like him. "There's something beautiful to how often you see Keanu Reeves not acting like he's better than anyone else who works on a set," one wrote.

"On all the production shoots I've ever been on, I can count on one hand how many talent members helped me out loading gear. ZERO," another noted. "The guy is just a good fella! This is what makes the world turn. Simple support and offerings of camaraderie will make the world run smoothly. Become selfless and offer Help to others, making the world a better place! Mr. Reeves is just being a good guy!" another comment read.

"He really is an awesome guy. I even heard a while back when they were just barely filming the first Matrix he would take the whole film crew out to eat every night after the set. He really is a blessed soul," someone else gushed. "I was a concert producer and was at a show where his band Dogstar was playing. He helped the production crew that night too," recalled a fan of the actor. Another tweet read, "Another reason why this Man owns a spot on Canada's Walk of Fame."

Keanu Reeves as John Wick

Reeves recently said John Wick is one of his most favorite roles of all time, even more than his roles in 'Speed' and the 'Matrix' trilogy. "It's a fun character to be able to have that, you know, that John Wick kinda thing," he told Good Morning America.  "I mean, I think the film is really epic, and I love playing the role. I love the John Wick world." The actor also insisted it was "cool" and "kind" for people to be describing his latest film as one of the greatest action movies ever made. 

It's worth noting that Reeves has been playing the good-hearted assassin since the first John Wick movie came out in 2014. He said playing the protagonist requires "training before the training" and a "John Wick toolbox." The star revealed that he works with the film's stunt coordinator on a mix of "judo, jiu-jitsu, and weapons manipulation," or "gun-fu" as it has reportedly come to be known.

Reeves was asked if he was feeling his age while performing the complicated stunts the role demands. "I'm not quite there yet," he responded, but noted the fourth John Wick installment "got me closer." He said he was "definitely feelin' the age" but at the same time was "more experienced" and therefore "more efficient" in taking on action sequences than he was while starting out with the franchise.
