  1. About the name

    Reeves's agents in the mid-1980s told him his first name was too ethnic and advised him to use another, so he briefly went to auditions as K. C. or Casey Reeves before returning to Keanu.

  2. Getting ready for a role

    For Speed, Reeves shaved off all his hair and spent two months in the gym building muscle to look like police officer Jack Traven.

  3. Behind the camera

    Reeves made his directorial debut with the 2013 martial arts film Man of Tai Chi, which he also starred in and which was assisted by Matrix fight choreographer Yuen Woo-ping.
