nikos tseliaridis ,where on earth did you come up with that statement? His daughter is deceased from being stillborn and the love of his life girlfriend died 18 months later in a car accident.

[@glennedward2201]

nikos, This is exactly the kind of thing I was referring to. He has always been a good hearted person and lives a spiritual life with dedication to being a good person. I’m certain had his daughter survived being still born he would’ve then gotten married to Syme and been a fantastic father. Instead he has chosen solitude over heartbreak and i doubt he will ever pursue engaging in family affairs again from his statements after the tragedies he has gone through during his personal life and career.

[@alexzapf6422]

If you want to know about the make up of a person. Let other people talk about you. You can tell that Laurence admires Keanu the person. Much more of an honor than admiring the actor. Love these two actors.

[@IronMan-vw4hl]

I think that Laurence fishburne is well overdue for his star imprint, & in his career. He has been overlooked by many & he should be next on the list.

[@kkibela]

Yeah... Morpheous alone deserves a forever star

[@falcon989]

Exactly ... I was wondering if he had one, because if I were Keanu I'd be kind of embarrassed to have an actor of Fishburne's caliber describing how awesome I was when Fishburne doesn't have a star yet.

[@williemendoza1345]

Keanu Reeves is Hollywood's true last action hero with the most humbled soul. I grew up watching Bill & Ted's excellent adventure and Keanu Reeves has been a lifelong hero. God Bless you Neo😎

[@cybertaiga9534]

Very honest and heartfelt speech from Laurence. It felt that he was more happy and excited for Keanu on this honour like a true guru or friend. Both he and Keanu were destined to play Morpheus and Neo. I think what makes Keanu great is not exactly his acting skills (it can be a bit sloppy at times) but his personality more than anything in addition to the legendary roles he was fortunate to be a part of. Some films like 'Matrix' and 'Little Buddha' were tailor made for him.

[@TalentSpotter83]

Sooner or later you're all going to realize just as I did that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. Keanu's indeed walked that path very well and may he continue to do so. A fantastic and sincere tribute from one of the acting greats of our time.

Keanu is very lucky guy he received too many compliments from other people while he still alive and that's a good thing. Usually, we can only heard a good compliments in the funerals. They will say how they missed you and how good you are but it's too late the person is already dead and can't heard anything good about him.

As a star travels past our galaxy, its light decreases as the distance between it and Earth grows. Keanu is a different kind of star. As he passes through our small planet, his brightness increases as his life and work reveal to us the depth of his heart and Spirit. We are blessed to live in this point in time and space in which he lives, that allows us to be touched by his brightness, even if just through a movie screen.
