He’s a very dedicated actor who enjoys his craft, and enjoying seeing others work that craft with, and I think that counts more for me with him than anything else.
Also yeah, Keanu's definitely a guy who puts in work too, even if he's quiet and reserved. Apparently all the training he did for John Wick he took to with real dedication that impressed the trainers
I'm 98% certain that Keanu is some form of neurodivergent and processes things differently but has a genuine desire to be kind and helpful and do as well as he can at his profession
I honestly don’t think Keanu is as bad an actor as some make him out to be (I thinks he’s gotten pretty decent at it), but there’s plenty of actors that are just laughably bad and yet still make bank, and conversely there are a lot of very talented actors who’d love to have 1% of that financial success but never will
I'm just remembering the person who commented on this saying like "he has the vibe of that one straight dude in your psych 101 class who inexplicably responds better to you coming out than literally anyone else you know, despite not knowing jack about shit".
