Waow, this interview is sooo different from what we're used to watch, like the interviewer doesn't try to make jokes, he just listens to Keanu and the audiance has so much respect and just listen you know, keeping their reactions for themselves. It really is the Chinese state of mind I guess. It's impressive.

[@yiayiagiota6578]

He is a wonderful person ❤ and good lucky actor..

[@playhousecentral5847]

Chinese authoritarian state. subdue the masses

[@rauterbergsabine6750]

I can't believe that all😮😢😢

[@SaBiNuKi]

It's the first time I see Keanu so relaxed, so light, so open. Thanks to the lovely host and Chinese audience. He must be feels at home in China. Looks healthy and happy. All the best to him. Good people deserve good things.

[@freddybeer]

+SaBi NuKi Lovely post.

[@howtofuckamockinbird]

+SaBi NuKi Yeah, was thinking the same. He seems to have a spiritual match with the Chinese more than Americans who seem to attack him for attention.

[@lucianakueker6027]

SaBi NuKi he is half Chinese

[@lucianakueker6027]

@subliminally 2 um no he is also Chinese look it up boo.

[@jomontanee]

I watched other chinese talk shows that he was so much more fun and more open than this. Or even UK talk shows that he was so hilarious in them such as Graham Norton or Jonathan Ross. This show seemed too serious and distant, IMHO. But it still was far better than US.

[@ruthnarda7481]

The legend, nice to see..i knew Mr Keano since i was 25 years a go.and now i am 42 yrs ago. I like him vr much.❤

[@bluesky6028]

I think it's a great interview, remember this is in China. Keanu is so humble. Wish him all the success in the future !!!

[@arlenecasale]

😮he's an amazing man......sooo talented....kind, caring , funny, loving, respectful & such a gentleman!!! He is loved by Soo many!!

[@MaryTunstall]

Keanu Reeves is the kindest most gentlest man on the face of the planet. I have nothing but love and respect for him as a man and as an actor! You go Keanu you "Rock:

[@joelgrice9067]

Keanu Reeves is the most handsome, talented, generous, and charismatic actor in the United States. He is a very Down-to-Earth Gentleman, as indicated from his interview, and he should be admired for the fine man he is, which is not at all like the pompous type individuals, which most well-know actors appear to be.

[@nox5870]

I would say Robert Downey Jr comes close 2nd.

[@melanieobremski643]

It's great to see a resurgence in his career-he's a lovely person.

[@taytoosharma7003]

He was always big

[@shescalledirina]

I actually quite liked this interview. The questions were different to what he usually gets, more complex and quite a bit about making of movies; this, for a big movie-goer like me that likes the ins and outs of making a movie, was quite a treat! However, reading these comments, I see why everyone just asks him about his looks and his bikes all the time... sigh...

[@keanucharlesreeves8681]

Thank you very much for the nice comment are you a fan

[@marycartwright3111]

@@keanucharlesreeves8681 where do you think you got your text from me handsome man But you housed to make me laught every time you did that to me I pray I don't have to go throught that again.it carried a lot of pain with it it's so personal for a woman.ilove you

Keanu what a bad ass Angel he is truly a SOFT BREEZE OVER THE MOUNTAIN.GOD BLESS ALWAYS

[@suefranklin8488]

This interview is fantastic... Never saw this before... Really GREAT❣❣❣

[@katherineearplightworker2515]

Good to see that Keanu mentioned youth theatre and how he has trained and developed in the theater arts in particular the diversity and challenges you go through creatively that's the inspiring stuff!

[@dianacantiberos5419]

Katherine Earp 1

[@brendanicholson116]

I found the reading very profound and interesting. Ashamed that the reader himself abandoned one life to dwell in another that should include them both. Keanu's relaxed and humble state heightens the meaning of Noa Noa and art. He is a wonderful person that deserves the best in life. Be blessed Keanu

[@lexyonyou]

He is a legend RESPECT !

[@myrafoster240]

Your hair makes you look even more gorgeous at that length. You have such a beautiful face & cheekbones, without the beard & hair off of it, it shows even better. I love your beautiful heart.❤

He's charming and lovely......The Perfect Man.........}{

[@tommygirl4726]

I love you Keanu ❤️ you are my everything 🤭❤️

[@DamianReloaded]

At 19:27 he remembered he was in China and decided to leave it like that. "Systems of control... yeap..." *shuts up*

[@Maffmatix]

hahahahah so true. But then later I thought it was funny when the guy busted him on the Speed call back when referring to him doing shitty sequels.

[@DamianReloaded]

aj remarez China has plenty of systems of control. One of them is not talking about China's systems of control. The punishment for disobedience can be anything from a bullet in the forehead to a bullet in the eye. ^_^

[@DamianReloaded]

Sure. So that's why they censor the internet. Because chinese people use it to talk about overturning the government or assasination... **rolls eyes**

[@lucianakueker6027]

@Nij Jin What are you doing here, Xi Jinping?

Independence film also can make money like popular movie..... just depends on how the producer deliver the theme and successfully accept by audience

[@bielsabas4407]

He gave you a dragon charm. *shrug* john's like 'smokity smokers...' >> through Felicia Day's profile. I went for the spirograph and remember I owed lady gaga. So I hit her up that way too

[@bobichina]

Chinese host always asks sort of BIG questions which are not personal as well as uneasy to answer. Ask questions more related to his personality pls.

[@monamalhotra3736]

Cough I can hear you cough night and day You cover your mouth with your red cold hands It just breaks my heart whenever I hear you cough Sometimes I can hear you cough deep into the night Do you need a tissue I want to say But then I just hug and hold you till it goes away I want to make sure you never cough By buying you a lozenges strip or a cough drop You can take with you and eat it before you get to work If that's too tedious a spoonful of honey ought to clear up the dryness in your throat It's just my wish for you… to add a pinch of turmeric in your hot milk to clear up all that nasty phlegm Happy Birthday Keanu Reeves, Moviestar

[@TherealKCR]

❤❤❤

[@gardengirl2441]

What year is this from?He must've added some weight for a roll! Still a cutie-patootie!!!

[@ej063]

this is the worst interview not because of Keanu but because of the presenter and the audience , Keanu is one of the best actors in the world, he's an A lister his movies made over $3.5 billion.

[@Gunngirl]

The audience must be drugged lol.
