Do you still play bass at all?

Is it true that Kim Gordon borrowed your bass for one of Sonic Youth's videos? And that you and Mike Watt argued beforehand over whose bass she'd play in the video?

What bands have you been listening to recently?

u/lionsgate Mike P. Nelson, Filmmaker Mar 04 '23

Yes, yes, no… Kim Gordon is cool, and so is Mike Watt!

I’ve been listening to Alvvays, Daughter, and Bill Evans trio.

Can’t tell that story…can’t tell that story…can’t tell that story…

I had a scene with River Phoenix and he was sitting on the back of a motorcycle that I was driving while we were filming. It wasn’t extracurricular, but we went off the beaten path a bit and came back and no helmets. Just two friends playing. It was a really good day.

I just wanted to apologize for invading your privacy in 1994.

Much Ado About Nothing had come out the year prior and my aunt worked in Hollywood and had some how gotten your phone number. I didn’t believe that she really had your number and thought she was just making it up to seem cool.

So one day after watching that movie and being so impressed, I called the number and to my surprise it was your real number! And instead of hanging up, I left a message saying how I thought you did a great job as a villain. I was 14 and so, so dumb.

I’m really sorry.

Hi Keanu. This isn’t a question so much as me trying to take advantage of what I am sure is the only chance I have to ever talk to you directly. Not sure if you’ll ever read this or reply, but this is likely my only shot so I’ll take it.

Thank you for being such an amazing human being. Clearly you have endured a lot in your life and have still managed to navigate fame with humility, sincerity, class, and sincere kindness. You are a true inspiration and I admire the hell out of you. I am truly sorry for the pain you have endured. Thank you for emerging from it still kind at heart, always willing to help out anyone and everyone you can, and for never taking yourself too seriously. Such a refreshing take from a Hollywood star.

I could ramble on and on forever about how much I admire you, but I will spare you that. On the off chance you read this, thank you for being you and please keep on being that person. Wishing you happiness, joy, continued success and good health

Hi Keanu! You often have the fan reputation of being wholesome and super kind! I wanted to ask what that’s like from your end as someone in the spotlight. What do you wish more fans knew about you? Also, if you could adapt any book or book series, what would it be?

Hi Keanu,

My aunt once hit you with her car (very softly) and when she apologized you were cool about it. Walked away and carried in your day. She wants to say sorry again!

u/brrakin Mar 04 '23

Hey Keanu, sometimes I feel like there is nothing to get me excited about daily life. I lack the ability to set goals, and I would like to hear from someone as accomplished and liked as yourself: how do you set new goals for yourself to keep you going on and motivated?

Thanks for the AMA.

Apparently you've got some recently discovered anti-fungal killing chemical compounds named after you.

Thoughts? And would you ever consider doing another William Gibson adaptation?

Thanks for your time, Keanu. Hopefully you’ll see this one.

I’m just wondering how you manage to remain grounded and continue to treat average people kindly when it seems like so many of your colleagues have lost the ability to relate to us ordinary folk?

Thank you for everything. I wish you joy, happiness, and love.

Hi Keanu! Big time fan and admirer of your unfettered wholesomeness. I hope this isn't too personal a question, but I just wanted to ask how you stay kind and collected in contrast to the difficulties you've endured in your personal life. Many of us have trouble greeting everyone with a smile as genuine as yours, after having faced some considerable emotional turmoil.

PS: Reddit adores you, and if you you haven't checked out r/keanubeingawesome it might put a little pip in your step. :)
