Born in Beirut, Lebanon, Keanu Charles Reeves' costume-designer mother Patricia was born in England and his geologist father has English, native Hawaiian, Irish, Portuguese and Chinese ancestry.
Keanu travelled the world as a child and lived with a series of stepfathers after his parents divorced in 1966. He grew up in Toronto and attended four high schools in five years, doing better in hockey than in academics.
He began his acting career at age nine and appeared in a CBC TV comedy called "Hangin'In" in the early 1980's.
His starring role in 1994's "Speed" made him an A-list star.
However, his real life driving experiences have led to some problems.

Keanu was sued in Los Angeles by photographer Alison Silva who said he hit and injured Silva with a Porsche, but jurors threw the $711,000 case out in an hour.
